Human erasers

I always loved that term -- did it start with the late Marvin "The Human Eraser" Webster?

Called it what you wish: a blocked shot, a shotblock, a leather sandwich, a swat, a stuff, you name it. Here are the most proficient at rejections in the state junior college ranks, with four of the first five being northern California-connected:

* #2 Juandrico Walker, 6-foot-8, Lassen College - 3.4

* #3 Brandon Berkovatz, 6-foot-9, Skyline Colege 3.3 (Cal State East Bay Coach Gus Argenal is liking this)

* #4 Kaleio Manuela, 6-foot-8, Hartnell College - 2.7

* #5 Josh Allen, 6-foot-7, Modesto Junior College - 2.6
