Lively= 12
Proctor= 12
Grandison= 10
Mitchell= 10
Flip= 5
Blakes= 4
Young= 4
Total= 84 ppg.
Last season we had 5 players in double figures with Paolo at 17.2 ppg. Roach had 8.6 ppg and the team averaged 80 ppg. There's so much that can come into play. How much time will Whitehead miss, and will he be 100% when he does play. Will he play a lot of minutes when he does return to action. Same for Lively. If Flip can't play college defense, will his minutes go to someone else. Will Young get more minute's relieving Lively at times? Of all the players I think Whitehead has the best chance at getting close to 17ppg.
GoDuke!
If Flip averages 5 points, we may have the least productive top 5 player ever (Harry Giles notwithstanding. I mean, the kid didn’t have knees coming into college)
Not saying he’s going to average more (I do think he will), but the delta between recruiting agencies and his estimated production seems to be way off.
