That's a great question- unanswerable at this time.

Off of the results of recent years, it will probably be a forward:

1976-77 Jimmy Williams  guard    14.1
1977-78 Marty Byrnes  forward  16.3
1978-79 Roosevelt Bouie  center    15.2
1979-80 Roosevelt Bouie  center  16.1
1980-81 Danny Schayes  center    14.6
1981-82 Eric Santifer  guard  17.0
1982-83 Eric Santifer  guard  17.8
1983-84 Rafael Addison    forward  17.7
1984-85 Rafael Addison    forward  18.4
1985-86 Pearl Washington  guard  17.3
1986-87 Sherman Douglas  guard  17.3
1987-88 Rony Seikaly  center  16.3
1988-89 Sherman Douglas  guard  18.2
1989-90 Billy Owens  forward  18.2
1990-91 Billy Owens  forward  23.3
1991-92 Dave Johnson  forward  19.8
1992-93 Lawrence Moten  forward  17.9
1993-94 Lawrence Moten  guard  21.5
1994-95 Lawrence Moten  guard  19.6
1995-96 John Wallace  forward  22.2
1996-97 Otis Hill  center  15.7
1997-98 Todd Burgan  forward  17.6
1998-99 Jason Hart  guard  13.9
1999-00 Etan Thomas  center    13.6
2000-01 Preston Shumpert  forward  19.5
2001-02 Preston Shumpert  forward  20.7
2002-03 Carmelo Anthony  forward  22.2
2003-04 Hakim Warrick  forward  19.8
2004-05 Hakim Warrick    forward    21.4
2005-06 Gerry McNamara  guard  16.0
2006-07 Demetris Nichols  forward  18.9
2007-08 Donte Green   forward  17.7
2008-09 Jonny Flynn  guard  17.4
2009-10 Wes Johnson  forward  16.5
2010-11 Kris Joseph   forward  14.3
2011-12 Kris Joseph  forward  13.4
2012-13 CJ Fair  forward  14.5
2013-14 CJ Fair  forward  16.5

But since our forwards are either going to be playing out of position, (Christmas), or starting for the first time, (Roberson) or freshmen, (McCullough), this could be year when our leading scorer could be a guard. It will only be a center if Coleman makes an astonishing turn-around. But Joseph may be similar to Johnny Flynn, the last guard to lead us in scoring. Cooney could have a big junior years. I think the scoring will likely be flat, with several guys in or close to double figures. (Of course, if we score like we did this year it could be both flat and low). I don't have a good feeling about McCullough, at least as freshman. I don't think Roberson is the type to be a high scorer. I don't think Coleman will be ready for a big year. And I don't see Cooney as a #1 scorer unless he expands his game. So I'll go with Joseph, who will have to play 35 minutes a game and will have the ball in his hands more than anyone else.
