Illini backcourt rated #6 in the nation by Rivals

McCamey ranked second in the nation in assists last season with a school-record average of 7.1 per game. He also ranked 10th in the Big Ten in scoring (15.1) and eighth in steals (1.5). He's the only player in school history to collect more than 1,200 points and 500 assists in three seasons. Richardson was named the Big Ten freshman of the year by the league's coaches after averaging 10.5 points and 2.7 rebounds while making 35 starts.
