10. Jordan Bohannon, Iowa

The Iowa Hawkeyes had a down season in the Big Ten last season but that didn’t stop Jordan Bohannon from producing. Despite finishing with a 14-19 record overall, Bohannon used his sophomore season to show his growth and development. The 6-foot-1 point guard averaged 13.5 points, 5.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game in 2017-18. He put up a career-high 30 points against UAB back on Nov. 22. The scrappy guard shot 6-of-8 (75 percent) from behind the arc in the contest to go along with three assists.

Bohannon shot better from behind the arc than he did from the field as well. He shot 43 percent from 3-point range and 42.3 percent from the field. Along with his efficiency from 3, Bohannon showed off his ability to get others involved in the action.

He produced three double-doubles as a sophomore and posted at least 25 points in two of their final three contests. Bohannon finished second in the Big Ten in assists per game and third in total assists (178). He’ll look to change their fortunes in 2018-19 as a top returner.
