10. Grant Riller | College of Charleston | G | Senior |

Grant Riller is one of the most dynamic guards in NCAA Basketball. He’s strong, smart with the ball, and is the main reason the College of Charleston Cougars are worth fearing.

Riller is 7th in the country in scoring, averaging 22.3 ppg while shooting 51.7% from the field. He is a scoring threat from anywhere on the court, having the ability to bury the three-ball just as easily as he can drive in to give his team some quick and easy points.

His stats as a great shooter only say a little bit about how he is as a player. He averages 5.5 rebounds per game and also dishes 4.2 assists in each outing. Riller has recorded two double-doubles on the year and notched a 20 point, 10 rebound, 10 assist triple-double in College of Charleston’s 79-76 loss at Northeastern in mid-January.

On defense, Riller is also great. His strength and quickness make him hard to dribble around in 1-on-1 situations, and he’s very capable of grabbing a steal to give the Cougars a much-needed fast break.

Riller’s ability to score with ease is spectacular, but he is very much a do-everything guy for his squad. College of Charleston currently sits in a three-way tie for first place in CAA conference play, with a record of 7-3. If they are to grab the CAA crown and head to the NCAA Tournament, Riller is definitely the guy to help them make that happen.
