There are less than 2 weeks left until the Cyclones tip off the season vs IUPUI. I expect this team to have solid defense like last year, but who do you see emerging as our leading scorer this season?

Jesus we might be looking at a battle between guys averaging 10.8ppg vs 10.6 ppg. Gabe’s games where he goes high probably skew the numbers so I’m going with him.

I would guess Gabe too, based on mpg played if nothing else. If his outside shot gets right, that would make a huge difference for this team.

I really believe that last year was a good learning experience for Gabe and I trust the coaches that during the off-season they’ve driven in to him to play within the game.

people severely underestimating Osun, especially based on what TJ has said about him. TJ plans to feature him as the center of the offense, and expects him to have a serviceable outside shot. If that's the case Osun should average 15+ per game
You could say that Conditt was featured as the center of the offense last year considering the ball was always in his hands at the elbow, it doesn't mean he was a major threat to score.

I think the scary part is looking at that line up and wondering who the heck is going to score. Defense should be rock star. Offense is the question

I went with Osun, but could see it being between Holmes and Kalscheur. My guess is 13.8 for Osun, 13.2 for Holmes, 12.1 for Kalscheur. Tre King could get around 15, but I didn't vote for him since he's going to miss half of the season. Eli will be around 7, 6 for Grill and Kunc, and then the rest at 2-4. If my numbers add up, that would mean we are averaging 75-80 points a game. I sure hope I'm right here but guessing I'm way off and we will average closer to 72.

He wont lead the team in scoring, but hopefully Kunc shoots it more this year with Brockington gone. He did the little things last year, but also shot it 39% from 3 so gives us someone that can stretch the floor.

Gabe. I hope he has improved his shot. He’s definitely going to get a lot of shots up.
