Rank 'Em: 10 best returning point guards in the nation

With rosters beginning to settle, our college basketball writer breaks down the top 10 returning point guards based on their production last season:

1. Cassius Winston, Michigan State

Winston is the only first-team All-American coming back for the 2019-20 season. Repeating his numbers from last year would make him a lock for another honor.

2. Grant Riller, Charleston

The Cougars went 24-9 last season, and Riller was basically the reason why — at least on the offensive end — after averaging 21.9 points and 4.1 assists.

3. Markus Howard, Marquette

Howard hasn't shot worse than 40 percent from three-point range in any of his three seasons with the Golden Eagles, which accounts for a lot of his 25 ppg last season.
