This is the hope. If we're really lucky it'd be Andre.Jordan Hawkins. I think Sanogo. Hawkins, Cole and Martin all average double figures.
Yeah. I completely agree. Cole and Sanogo will be the most dependable scorers until Hawkins gets comfortable at this level later in the year. Our leading scorer on any night could be any of the guys listed depending on who's hot and who's not. The bad news is that we may have to find out that a couple of guys are cold before one of the others steps up.I don't think anyone averages over 15 ppg.
Cole will be around there, Sanogo in the 12-14 range (just because it's harder to get big guys the shots), and then a lot of guys in the 8-10 point range (Jackson, Hawkins, Gaffney, Martin, the SG shooter we bring in).
For our best case, it needs to be Martin. May seem improbable but not impossible.
god help usBased on our projection 2 years ago would thought it would be Gaff.
Don't sleep on Gaffney either. Kid has MAJOR upside
We don't have good options for a scorer. Jackson? One of the freshmen. Could be Cole. just don't see someone who going to carry the load. I didn't such Gafd would be that person. Only that 2 years ago we thought much higher of him.god help us
if i woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet i wouldnt be more surprised than if martin or gaff were leading scorer
Well one thing on Martin - we don't have a huge sample size, but I think an argument can be made he doesn't coexist well with ball-dominant players like Bouk. Don't mean this in a negative way towards Bouk, he was clearly the best player on the team and should have had the ball in his hands as much as possible.god help us

People are way too down on Gaffney, it’s sort of weird. Or maybe he just flies under the radar.Don't sleep on Gaffney either. Kid has MAJOR upside
I didn't expect to see a Christmas Vacation reference in this thread. Nicely played.god help us

People discount it because the loons on here have “backup qb syndrome” and think every kid coming in is going to be immediately better than everyone already on the roster. All three kids are uber talented and I’m excited to see them in a husky jersey, but Hawkins is the only one with one or two and done potential (IMO, hope I’m wrong). Would ideally love for freshman to come in as role players and not as the answer to “who is going to be the leading scorer” for a team with aspirations of being ranked/making a decent tournament run. Andre Jackson was and is a freak athlete and it took him awhile to get his legs under him. Bouk is a lottery talent and it took him some time to figure it out. I don’t know the answer to this question but if it’s a freshman then we have another lottery pick or we’re really, really in trouble.Yes. The forum's near-total discounting of our freshmen is extremely encouraging. While the odds say that Hawkins is no Bouknight, his comparative high school numbers argue he could be. That a healthy Hawkins will be our leading scorer in the second half of next year is a bet I'll take.
Who else is starting at guard besides cole in this lineup?Been hearing about this potential and upside with Gaffney for 3 years... yet nothing has manifested consistently on the floor after 2 seasons. He needs to drastically improve his handle and his jumper.
He won't start next year and I don't think he'll be among our top 5 scorers, let alone our leading scorer.
It’s hard for many of us who haven’t seen these players to know what their capabilities are. We need a dynamic scorer or 2.Yes.

WorrisomeNo I don't and that's my point. If it is either Cole or Sanogo, we will be in for a difficult season. If we had a couple of other guys who could average 10 or 12 a game, it would give us more balanced scoring, but I honestly don't see that unless one of the newbies can step up.
I think our scoring is going to be spread around. We may not have a 'go to guy' per se, but we have a lot of guys who are talented enough to average in double figures.Worrisome
Cole was the most consistent after Bouk. We do not have any other options unless a newcomer exceeds expectations, a current player improves or we get a transfer that takes overToo early to speculate, but if either is our leading scorer, I'm worried. Cole is not a primary scorer and even if he moves to the 2, I can't see him being the leading scorer. He hasn't shown that consistency IMO. I believe Sanogo will be much improved, but having a 5 as our leading scorer means our wings and guards either aren't capable of scoring at that clip or we become too dependent on feeding the post and fall into a methodical slow game which is an indication that our wings and guards aren't capable of scoring consistently.
Do not care. Hate the focus on individual stats.With Bouk headed to the NBA, I'm curious as to who will lead the team in scoring next season. My guess is that it will be Cole, followed by Sanogo. Thoughts?
GAFFNEY will be improved. So will JACKSON. HAWKINS and DIGGINS will live up to top 50 billing.Too early to speculate, but if either is our leading scorer, I'm worried.
