In addition to a solid inside-outside combo, which many teams have, the thing that sets apart the elite from the also-rans is that third option. Opponents can set up a game plan to shut down the top two players, but it is nearly impossible to contain a solid troika. Here are the Top 10 trios heading into March Madness (Note: I only took groups that had a mix of inside and outside--hence why Stanford didn't make the list):
1. North Carolina: Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Tyler Hansbrough
2. Kansas: Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur
3. UCLA: Darren Collison, Josh Shipp, Kevin Love
4. Tennessee: Chris Lofton, JaJuan Smith, Tyler Smith
5. Texas: D.J. Augustin, A.J. Abrams, Damion James
6. Memphis: Derrick Rose, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Robert Dozier
7. Arizona: Jerryd Bayless, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill
8. Duke: DeMarcus Nelson, Gerald Henderson, Kyle Singler
9. Pittsburgh: Levance Fields, Sam Young, DeJuan Blair
10. Marquette: Dominic James, Jerel McNeal, Lazar Hayward
You should have listed Westbrook with Collison and Love, as opposed to Shipp who has been terrible down the stretch.
