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.
