You only have one ball, it’s not like he is going to double his scoring output, but hopefully he can hit more wide open shots with confidence as the other two guards will do most of the scoring. Throw in Oso and Joplin, who loves to shoot, not sure he is getting many more shots as last year.

Yeah, gaudy predictions like Kam averaging 25, Kolek averaging 20 and Stevie doubling his average ... none is likely to happen in this offense.

I predict that Joplin is the team's leading scorer.

doubling his ppg is only another 7 per game.

Omax averaged 12. There is room for someone to pick those up

I’d take that action (pawz)

$10; 10 to 1 odds. If Stevie doubles his ppg, you get $100. If he does not, I get $10. You in?

Sure.

Yeah Kam isn't going to average 25 or Kolek 20, they only averaged 15 and 12 respectively last year. Something in this realm is possible though:


Kam 16
Kolek 14
Stevie 14
Jop 15
Oso 12
Gold 8

I don't think that's very realistic.  That's 79 ppg from 6 players.  Players 7-end of bench averaged 13.3 ppg for Marquette last year.  Even if you drop it to 10 ppg next year, that's still 89 ppg.  The highest team ppg average in the power 6 conferences was Arizona at 81.9.

Agree. There simply aren't enough points to go around.

As at least one fellow Scooper said, I can see several or our heroes having 20-point games, and some having numerous 20-point games. But averaging 20? Hard to envision it.

Yeah, i dunno about 14 ppg for stevie, but I'd set the over under at like 11.9 for him next year off the top of the dome.

Just by way of thin front court Amadou is going to get good run I'm sure.

Also Zaide Lowery looks like very Chase-Rossesque in that he will be hard to keep off the court at times.

So much talent.

I was at a golf outing Monday and Nevada Smith was there afterwards to say a few words (lots of MU Alum ther).  He said Oso is working on his three point shot.  At one practice he hit 6 of 8.  Unguarded, but 6 of 8.  And he continues to work on it.

Let’s see if he can hit a three when the lights are on!

More impressive if he can do it with the lights off

Come on… I’m pretty sure we’re going to average 100 a game.

There’s a very good chance we’re preseason top 10. When’s the last time that happened?

I'd guess Stevie at something more along the lines of 9.5, maybe 10 if he really does improve his 3P%.

The most important thing without question is improving his FT%, as everyone of us will agree.

The team is too good. If only one of those guys was returning maybe 25, 20 or 14 is realistic. But with this many options it’s not going to happen
