Who will score what?

[Zarathustra]

See, you guys are enjoying this topic, stupid as it may have seemed at first. I don’t get the resistance to empty idle speculation during a dreary summer. Its this or watch pickleball and cornhole.

I hope that you can get the U18 FIBA WOMEN's Basketball Championship, Argentina, 2022
this week. JUNE 13 th to June 19th. Google the FIBA web site and the U 18 Women's (girls) link. Real LIVE Basketball.
International stuff. Sure the USA team is a heavy favorite, but UCONN's ICE BRADY is playing!
First USA game is against Columbia, Monday afternoon 3:30 PM EST. I hope you find a link to see it. There
are usually replays of the entire games in the tournament ( all teams, read CANADA! and Ms.
Cassandra Prosper ) . Enjoy, Z

If we assume the Huskies average 86 points/game, how much will each player score on average across the season?

Here's my guess:
Paige 18
Azzi 20
Caroline11
Nika 4
Lou 7
Dorka 10
Aaliyah 8
Amari 3
Ice 3
Ayanna 2

I guarantee Ice and Ayanna will average more than this by season's end.

Looking forward to what Edwards can do. She had a terrific 2nd half of the year - actually had similar numbers to Morgan Tuck's senior season. Edwards averaged 9.2 ppg shooting 53.3% from the floor and averaged 6.2 rebounds in her last 17 games. Not as good as Tucks of course but as a sophomore Edwards had a terrific 2nd half. She has a good shot to get into double figures this season.

Some thoughts and questions on this topic:

First, don't forget about Aubrey. I think she'll be healthy and a contributor. Fingers crossed. She'll be in the middle of the pack in scoring.

Second, I think we averaged about 74 ppg last season. We were more scoring challenged than we had been in years. I expect we'll score over 80 ppg. I'm predicting 84.

Third, will anyone average 20 ppg? I don't think so. It has been rare when someone has done that. In the past 20 years, it's been Maya, Phee, Lou, Megan, and Paige.

Fourth, who will be the leading scorer? I think it's either Paige or Azzi. I expect that Paige will pass the ball more than she did her freshman year. Azzi will be a starter, if healthy, and should be much more comfortable in the offense. I'm going with Azzi at 18 ppg and Paige at 16 ppg.

Fifth, who is the 3rd leading scorer? There seems to be an early consensus for Caroline. I'm going with Aaliyah. Dorka is possible.

Sixth, who scores more--Aubrey or Nika? I'm going with Aubrey, because Nika will pass rather than shoot.

Seventh, which newcomer is the leading scorer? I think Lou outscores the frosh and is close to 10 ppg. I think Ice outscores Ayanna, because she has the better offensive game and 3-point shot.

Here's a VERY rough list:

Azzi 18

Paige 16

Aaliyah 10

Dorka 9

Caroline 9

Lou 8

Aubrey 6

Nika 5

Ice 5

Ayanna 3

This totals to 89 rather than 84. That's because some players will miss some games.

Milford Husky...I like it when great minds think alike. Your score totals are almost identical to mine...we switched Dorka and Aaliyah scores. But the rest were identical or within 2 points. That is the point there will be so many options, so much scoring talent that it will be very difficult to keep this team under 90 points per game.

I agree that Paige and Azzi will be the top scorers, but I don’t think it matters which of the splash sisters scores more. I can’t wait to see a full season with both of them playing together.

Happy to see Lou with 8 points. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were 10. I’ve watched her on YouTube, and she might be much better than expected.

Finally, why is Amari not on your list? Unless she has a major sophomore jump (which is possible), I’ll give her maybe two (1.6 last season). With hard work combined with her talent, maybe 4 to 6.
