NCAA Basketball: Luka Garza, Drew Timme among top-10 POY contenders
6. Aaron Henry | 6’6 Guard | Michigan State Spartans
Junior wing Aaron Henry has been quite the distributor on the wing for the Michigan State Spartans in 2020-21. He’s been a proverbial “stat sheet stuffer” for them as they remain unbeaten at 4-0 and ranked No. 8 in the AP Poll.
Henry is putting up solid numbers on the wing for the Spartans with 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 2.3 blocks per contest while shooting 37 percent from the floor. He’s been an all-around threat on the floor for Michigan State and was a big catalyst in their victory over Detroit-Mercy this past Friday.
He nearly notched a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists along with three steals and a block in the 83-76 victory over Detroit-Mercy, showing he’s much more than prepared to do more than just score the ball in 2020-21.
Through four games this season, Henry has dished out at least three assists, grabbed at least four rebounds, and notched at least a steal and a block. Don’t be surprised to find him at the top of the National Player of the Year list when it’s all said and done.
