The nation's most irreplaceable players

Demetri McCamey, G, Illinois
McCamey is doing a better job this season of balancing his role as the team's best player while also getting everyone else involved. His remarkably improved three-point shooting is allowing him to score more points while using fewer possessions, which, in turn, is helping the supporting cast be more efficient. The result: Last season, Illinois finished 65th in offensive efficiency; now they're 16th with essentially the same cast, thanks to scoring seven more points per 100 possessions, which is a big difference.
