Surprisingly, we've only had one freshman guard/wing average double digit points as a true freshman in the past 20 years (Middleton). Starks basically did it too at 9.9 ppg but we just haven't had that type of immediate impact perimeter player very often. We've got two incoming transfers who did that last year as freshmen so that is a good start to improving the offense. With Williams, Cash and Hall we have 3 guys who have at least proven to be competent 3 point shooters in college too so that's a big improvement over what we've had. And 2 incoming guys who proved to be pretty good at running an offense and putting up good assist numbers. 2 more than we've had the past 2 years. And a couple of bigs who can at least catch the ball and finish at the rim which we didn't have this year.

Do our players' skill sets include actually scoring points?

---

Marcus Williams 15 ppg
Jordan Hall 11 ppg

Both put up good numbers as freshman, and will help carry the scoring load. Hopefully Manny O hits the ground running too. The other newcomers probably won't be major offensive weapons.

Ok once we know what the roster looks like (I still think we add one more), are you starting a thread where we can all make ridiculous predictions of PPG for each player?

You reading my mind? I was planning to capture the freshman guard production for the past 20 years and let people figure out where Manny will slot in

Just points? I think we need to do a different stat every week of the offseason.
