No surprise. Cameron Jackson of Wofford is sixth. The rankings are based on usage rate (basically field goals and free throws compared to minutes), assist ratio, turnover ratio and rebound ratios. Jackson and Matt Rafferty of Furman (14th) are the only Southern Conference players in the top 50, which has one Clemson player (Elijah Thomas at No. 17), no South Carolina players and, in fact, no other players from this state. The ratings don’t factor in defense and that would certainly help Jackson. He is fifth in the SoCon in steals. When he was on the floor Saturday night, Jackson held Dorman High product Carlos Dotson of Western Carolina (15.1 points, league-leading 10.9 rebounds in conference games) to four rebounds and one point.

College PerspectiveHe’s juggling basketball and law school at William & Mary, and whistling all the way By John Feinstein, Columnist January 4 at 1:28 PM WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — When William & Mary wins a basketball game at Kaplan Arena, the players go through the handshake line with their opponents and then, instead of heading to the locker room, they cross the court for handshakes and high-fives with fans who crowd into the front row to congratulate the team.
But that isn’t what makes him unique. After graduating magna cum laude in three years with a double major in computer science and finance, he decided to go to law school and is now listed as an academic “L-2” on the team’s roster — the only NCAA men’s basketball player with that distinction, according to William & Mary.
