I don't think it's going to be quite like that, which is what i was trying to say. He took a lot of shots last year already. (Another funny stat, Andy took a higher% of shots when he was on the floor in 2009 vs 2010, the number of possessions he used was basically identical both seasons). Scoop used more possessions than anyone on the team in 2010.
 
nichols went from taking 22.5% of our shots when on the court as a Junior to 28.5% as a senior.  That's a huge jump.  I will be very surprised if Brandon experiences that.

Not sure I totally follow.
 
Triche had a shot% at 23.7 last season. I would be willing to bet that number doesn't go up much at all next year. The number that clearly will go up is that he played 56% of our minutes last year, I bet that number is closer to 75% or 80% this year.
 
Brandon averaged 9 points per game in 21 minutes, if you extrapolate that out to 30 minutes per game that's 13 points right there.
 
Anyway, like I said, my main point is that Brandon did shoot a lot last year. Every year he's shot more, but I don't think he's going to shoot a lot more next year. We've been very b alanced offensively the last 5 years or so.  (Ever since Nichols graduated, pretty much)
 
Btw, I think Brandon will be fine next year. He was relatively efficient last year on a pretty high possession load. He'll get more minutes, shoot more on a raw basis, score more points, and there will be plenty of people who expect him to do more, but i think he'll be a perfectly solid player for us next year
