. . . . . oregon. 5. Jermaine Couisnard & Jackson Shelstad. . 515
Arguably one of the hottest teams heading into March Madness, the Ducks are led by their starting guards Jermaine Couisnard and Jackson Shelstad.
Couisnard leads the team in points (525), assists (111), and steals (55) throughout the season. Shelstad, just a freshman, is averaging 13.1 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game.
The duo is lethal on the court. The combination of Couisnard’s calm demeanor and experience with Shelstad’s pure style of play and court vision is hard to stop when they’re in their pocket.
If Shelstad and Couisnard can find their rhythm, the Oreogn is a threat to anyone who crosses its path.
