Number oNe scorer for the 2016-2017 season

[HuskermanMike]

Since Andrew is now gone, who do you guys think steps up to take his place as the number one scorer. My gut tells me to go with Webster, but I feel Gill/Watson could lead the team in points.

I feel this is who our top scorers will be in the fall

1 Gill

2 Webster

3 Watson

4 Roby

5 Jacobsen

My number one is Gill because of the experience he brings, also, any chance we go after a grad transfer that can score, or do we just start the season with who we have? I think Roby is the Freshman that gets lots of PT and Horne could be a really could forward for us. Anyway comment below who your top scorer or scorers are for the 2016 season!

I think your top three are pretty solid picks. A big need I see is finding someone who can go to the hole and score and/or get fouled like Shavon. I'd hate to think we live or die by the outside shot this next season. It would make for some long games. I wouldn't expect our new big man to be a huge scorer this year and as he acclimates to college hoops the competition will get much tougher.

A guy that played less that 10 mins, averaged 2.5 points, shot 25% from 3, 37% from 2 and had more turnovers than assists his last season is the "experience" we are relaying on?

Ok...

I don't see anyone getting 15 ppg this year. It's going to have to be a full team effort and try and get 3 different guys around 12-13 ppg mark. Gill, Watson, Webster.

Andrew White averaged 2.4 ppg at Kansas and look what he did with a year of getting better. I expect or I assume Gill will do the same, with the year off he has his body in good shape and he has improved his shooting. I am not sure how good of a passer he will be, but I can guarantee you he will have improvement in assists this year. At the same time he will most likely be one of the top scorers, if its not him it will be Tai this year and Glynn is also extremely good so I expect some scoring numbers out of these three.

I like Watson's chances. He flashed a lot of potential last year and I believe he'll take a big step forward this season.

Morrow won't be a top scorer, but I think he takes a big step forward as well. Hopefully he can get 8 pts and 7 reb type player for us this year.

Yeah, I'm a big Morrow fan but I'm not holding my breath on him ever being much of a scoring threat in the regular offense. But he can make a living rebounding and if he can get 3-4 offensive rebounds and turn those into 2-3 easy put-backs and pick up a bucket or two somewhere along the way, those are pretty reasonable numbers.

He averaged 4.1 ppg and 3.3 rpg last year in only 13 minutes per game and battling injuries. If he can get up around 25 mpg, his hustle should let those numbers translate pretty well so just the increase in minutes should get him closer to those numbers.

Using your stats and extrapolating what it would be at 25 mpg, he would have 7.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Now, It's very reasonable to assume he will improve from year one to year two.

So, I'm going with 10 ppg and 9 rpg. If that happens, it will be good for the team.

To average 9 rpg in college is no easy task. Since 2000 that has only happened once at Nebraska, which was Aleks Maric.

Morrow will be the best player on the team

Don't hold your breath with Roby

Watson will be a very nice 12/5/3 guy

Well....last year if he would have played more minutes and his pace held up, he would have basically been at 6. I'm assuming he would improve from there.
