Javon Small was the best player on mediocre teams during his first three college seasons. Now he's the Big 12's leading scorer and a major reason why short-handed West Virginia is relevant again. No. 21 West Virginia was picked to finish 13th in the 16-team Big 12 under first-year coach Darian DeVries. Now, the 11-3 Mountaineers are ranked for the first time in two years. That's due in no small part to Small. He leads the league in scoring at 19.5 points per game — three more points than anyone else. Two of his five career double-doubles have come in the past week.
