At look at the players expected to be among the best in college basketball this season:

Ashton Gibbs, junior guard, Pittsburgh, averaged 15.7 ppg last season: As a sophomore, Gibbs made 39% of his three-pointers.

JaJuan Johnson, senior post, Purdue, 15.5 ppg: Because of his range and his 6-10 frame, Johnson is tough to guard — and shoot over. He blocked 72 shots last season.

Kalin Lucas, senior guard, Michigan State, 14.8 ppg: The Spartans are aiming for a national title with the return of Lucas from an Achilles’ tendon injury.
