8. Traevon Jackson – Senior – Wisconsin Badgers

Traevon Jackson is one of the more talented and disciplined guards in college basketball. Since he plays for Coach Bo Ryan, expect a good assist-to-turnover ratio and an ample amount of assists from Jackson. He isn’t as athletic as some other guards but he could post a better overall shot efficiency.

He does everything well, and has good defensive skills. The Badgers made it to a final four berth in 2014. With a full returning Wisconsin roster, Jackson will be the quarterback of a very talented team. The result of increased exposure and experience could propel him to a first-team honors.
