Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4552054, member: 4173"] Nostalgia is a great thing, isn’t it? Your point seems to be that there are no dominant scorers in the Big East any more - at least not like there used to be. And that this condition has existed for the last 20 years. Do I have that right? You then produced a list of 18 players pre-2005 to illustrate your point and added that you could add many, many, many more. Again, do I have that right? Here is your list with their career averages ppg and their best single season ppg. You didn’t list them in any particular order, so I’m listing them in alphabetical order. Here goes: 19.0, 23.4 - Ray Allen 22.2, 22.2 -Carmelo Anthony 13.1, 14.5 - Ron Artest 18.0, 20.9 - Caron Butler 12.6, 17.9 - Austin Croshere 7.1, 8.3 - Samuel Dalembert 15.3, 17.7 - Patrick Ewing 13.6, 15.2 - Rudy Gay 18.4, 21.6 - Ryan Gomes 19.8, 21.5 - Rip Hamilton’s 19.5, 22.9 - Chris Mullin 21.4, 22.7 - Troy Murphy 9.9, 15.2 - Dikembe Mutombo 17.9, 23.3 - Billy Owens 14.5, 15.6 - Ed Pinckney 16.9, 16.9 - Tim Thomas 15.4, 21.4 - Hakim Warrick 8.2, 12.5 - Bill Wennington So, now I’ll present a list of high scoring players post-2005 with their career and single season scoring averages. I’ll add that I too can add many more. I must note at this point that post-2005 does not leave 20 years, which is the number of years with a dearth of dominant scorers which you mentioned earlier. Your with players up to 2005 represents 26 years of Big East history. Post-2005 leaves 18 years. In a final note, let me call attention to the fact that this list includes the leading scorer in Bug East history, Markus Howard of Marquette. I’m also including the years of each player player’s career so it can be seen how these players are distributed over the past 18 years: 13.8, 21.1 - Ben Bentil (2014-16) 14.4, 24.6 - Marshon Brooks (2007-11) 14.4, 18.9 - Jalen Brunson (2015-18) 16.0, 19.8 - Julian Champagne (2019-22) 15.2, 21.8 - Bryce Cotton (2010-14) 17.8, 25.4 - Quincy Douby (2003-06) 19.2, 23.3 - Luke Harangidy (2006-10) 13.2, 18.7 - Josh Hart (2013-17) 15.3, 19.7 - LaDontae Henton (2011-15) 21.6, 27.8 - Markus Howard (2016-20) 18.9, 21.4 - Dominique Jones (2007-10) 21.7, 26.7 - Doug McDermott (2010-14) 10.9, 18.9 - Demetris Nichols (2003-07) 19.5, 21.6 - Shamorie Ponds (2016-19) 17.5, 23.1 - Myles Powell (2006-20) 13.4, 16.9 - Adama Sanogo (2020-23) 14.3, 18.7 - Russ Smith (2010-14) 16.1, 23.5 - Kamba Walker (2008-11) [/QUOTE]
