Scouting report

The diminutive Rogers is an inspiration to short people everywhere.

He was the Atlantic-10 Conference's Player of the year after he led it in points, assists and steals per game. Almost as impressively, he has recorded four blocked shots in his career at George Washington.

Opponents may underestimate him once, but chances are they won't do it a second time. He's proven that he has a knack for making the big play.

Rogers likely got George Washington into the NCAA Tournament with his game-winning three-point shot against Xavier in both teams' regular-season finale. The basket beat the Musketeers and kept them from garnering an NCAA berth of their own.
