2019-20 win predictions

[Marcus92]

There is precedent for All-American level players to see fewer minutes and/or score at essentially the same level (or even less). It depends on who the other players are around him.

Nice comps, Marcus. I do think it's more likely we see a downtick in Markus' minutes and usage than an uptick. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but from his comments, Wojo seemed to learn from the workload that was put on Markus at the end of last season and has indicated that he wanted to change that. I guess we won't know until the ball hits the court, but I at least think lightening his load is the plan.

I vote 21-23 wins, but that isn't going to be a bubble team.

Exactly two D1 players have averaged 30+ ppg in the last 20 years, and they were major volume shooters on craptastic low/mid-major teams.

I love Markus and think he will have a fantastic senior season, but I would put a whole month's pay on him averaging below 30 ppg this year and not miss a wink of sleep all season.

Whelp, good thing I didn't put any money down on that! It's obviously early but good call by HowardsWorld
