24. Ethan Telfair, Idaho State
2015-16 Stats: 20.2 PPG, 5.4 APG, 4.0 RPG, 2.4 SPG
Much like Tra-Deon Hollins, Ethan Telfair is a JUCO transfer who made the most of his first season at the D-I level.
It took a little while for Telfair to come out of his shell, but he was a monster in Big Sky Conference play. He averaged 23.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range and 89.9 percent from the free-throw line.
Despite entering January with a career high of 23 points, he put up at least 30 on seven occasions in conference play, including in four consecutive games near the end of the season.
That sheer volume of points makes it seem like he's a ball hog, but the assists suggest otherwise.
For sake of comparison, Oakland's Kay Felder averaged 18.1 points, 7.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game as a sophomore before becoming an oft-discussed, minor-conference combo guard this past season.
If Idaho State can fare better than last year's 16-15 record, Telfair could be this year's Wooden Award honorable mention from a small school.
