None of the above. I expect we will have a balanced scoring attack, with 5-6 guys capable of leading us in scoring any given night, but nobody averaging more than 10-12 ppg.

It will probably be unnerving to many Hawkeye fans, who grew accustomed to the presence of an alpha scorer on every team during the McCaffery era (as well as Bennett Stirtz’s performance last year).

Stirtz could get his own shot at end of shot clock with his handle and step back.

Not seeing any guard with that kind of game.
Who can beat their guy off the dribble?
Coleman? Combes?
I think we are short one good creative guard this year. Our guys are mainly catch and shoot offensive players. Come back Bennett!

I think Coop will be our leading scorer, but I think Sage will be the go to guy at crunch time
