Chris Boucher, Oregon
Senior forward, 12.1 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.1 bpg
Let’s not pretend that Boucher was anonymous before his first season at Oregon. He was named the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I national player of the year and was rated the No. 3 prospect in the class of 2015 on jucorecruiting.com. That said, few players were more effective defensively this season than Boucher was with the Ducks. He swatted a higher percentage (12.2) of opponents’ two-point field goal attempts than any other player in the Pac-12 during conference play and also rebounded about a fifth of opponents’ missed shots. Boucher also acquitted himself well offensively, converting 72.0% of his two-point field goal attempts against Pac-12 competition.
