Who’s going to lead the team in scoring this year and who will be the best pure shooter?

It’ll be a team effort this year, as the cliche goes, but who do you think will lead the team in scoring this year and who’ll be the best pure shooter on the team!

Cole

Polley

Hawkins will make a push towards the end of the season for both, but Hurley likes to bring freshman into the fold slowly

If Polley leads the team in scoring i will donate $1k to the charity of your choosing.

Polley was the answer to the second question (pure shooter).

I think Cole leads the team in scoring as well.

Yeah this actually seems like one of the more straightforward answers to both. Cole is gonna lead the team in scoring. And there may be questions of how many 3's Polley takes/minutes he plays, but he'll be the best shooter

Hire Dr. Sharon Fieldstone to get rid of the yips and Tyrese Martin would be a candidate.

Cole will lead team in scoring. I would wager he is the leading scorer in less than 1/2 the games but he is going to get 30 mpg and be the most certain to score double digits every game.

Ideally Cole would be a 3rd or 4th leading scorer on a loaded team but I don't see anyone other than him threatening 16 ppg. Sanogo and others will have their moments but foul trouble and bad match ups will give him some individual games with real stinkers for numbers- think 14 minutes, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 4-5 fouls.

Best shooter? By percentage gotta go with Polley. I think he'll be 42% or better. Wouldn't be surprised if he's up around 45%-46%. Either Polley or Cole will lead the team in 3 point shots made.
