Brimah who's averaging 4.0ppg and 2.8rpg (but 5.1, 3.4 in the AAC) is still being described by many writers as a raw talent. The freshman from Accra is a natural shot-blocker and is third in the league with 2.5 bpg while playing 15.3 minutes a game; the leader has 2.9 bpg.

Amida goes for block.
Coaches who faced UConn in January, and again later in the season, were impressed by Brimah's development, so his selection was no surprise.

"He is getting better by the minute," Brown said on Feb. 23.
Said Louisville's Rick Pitino: "He has gotten a lot better, and he's going to be a great one when it's all said and done."
The all-rookie team was filled with big men, including Memphis' Austin Nichols, a favorite for rookie of the year honors, and John Egbunu and Chris Perry, both of South Florida. The lone guard was Louisville's Terry Rozier.
