The NBA season is in full swing with five local college legends on rosters once again.  Jimmer Fredette found a new team (and the same old struggles) while the other four are on the same team that they ended 2013-14 with.

One of our favorites took a big step forward in both minutes and production, another has become an elite lead guard while the other two play key roles on excellent teams.

Here is a look at how our local college standouts have fared so far early in the 2014-15 campaign.

Jimmer Fredette, BYU, New Orleans Pelicans

After an impressive offensive performance in the preseason, minutes have been hard to come by for Fredette since the season started.  In fact, he has played just 78 minutes in 12 Pelican games this year, including five games where he didn’t even make an appearance.  His best game came in a 139-91 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves when he had seven points, including his only made 3-point shot of the year and an assist in more than 13 minutes of action.

In seven games, Fredette is averaging 2.4 points while totaling six assists, three rebounds and a pair of steals.

Brandon Davies, BYU, Philadelphia 76ers 

Davies has been given plenty of opportunities to produce for the 0-13 76ers.  He has even started four games as Philadelphia is trying to find what works best for its young and inexperienced squad.  His best game of the year came in a buzzer-beating loss to the Orlando Magic when he scored a career-high 20 points on 9 of 11 shooting from the floor to go along with four rebounds, an assist and a steal.

In 13 games, Davies is averaging 7.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in nearly 22 minutes.

Andre Miller, Utah, Washington Wizards

Miller is no longer at the point in his career where he is earning big minutes, but he has settled in nicely as the backup point guard and is still a valuable piece to the 9-3 Wizards.  His best scoring night of the season came in a win over the New York Knicks when he finished with 12 points on 6 of 10 shooting to go along with three assists, two rebounds and a steal.

In 12 games, Miller is averaging 4.1 points on 60 percent shooting as well as 2.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in less than 13 minutes.

Andrew Bogut, Utah, Golden State Warriors

The Warriors are off to a 9-2 start and Bogut is a big reason why.  He is a presence on the defensive side of the ball because of his ability to alter shots and hit the glass.  He also does his fair share off work on the offensive end thanks to his touch around the rim and skill at finding the open man.  One of his best games of the year came in a win over the Brooklyn Nets when he scored 11 points on 4 of 7 shooting while adding 14 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.

In 11 games, Bogut has averaged 8.5 points on 61.1 percent shooting, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 blocks in nearly 27 minutes.

Damian Lillard, Weber State, Portland Trail Blazers

After a breakout sophomore campaign saw him make his first all-star game, Lillard has already shown that he is ready to bring his game to another level.  His fast start is one of the main reasons why the Blazers already have a four-game lead in the Northwest division.  One of his best nights came in a big road win over the Denver Nuggets when he scored 27 points on 10 of 16 shooting while he handed out nine assists, grabbed five rebounds and recorded two steals.

In 12 games, Lillard is averaging 20.9 points on the strength of 47.6 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 94.5 percent from the free-throw line.  He is also contributing 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and a steal in more than 34 minutes a night.
