Yeah, people here (and in general) throw out ridiculous #'s, not remotely understanding how unlikely they are.
Remember when folks were saying stuff like "can't wait to see PC average 4+ blocks a game!"
Can Marek average 11 or 12? Sure! Maybe even a bit more.
But 15?
Oshae didn't even manage 15 this year, and he was our 2nd leading scorer, and needed 38 mpg to do that.
Get used to a Syracuse team that only scores about 70 points per game.
Last year's zero D team was the only Cuse team since '12 to average greater than 70/game.
('09-'10 averaged 81. Pours another one out for AO's knee...
)
OSB & Frank are likely to be your 2 highest scorers, since they return the most scoring from this past season.
I'd imagine some combo of Hughes, Marek, and Carey are your next 3, most likely in that order.
PC and Dib averaged 8, 10, and 3 a game this year - hoping a healthy combo of them goes for more like 12/12/4.
To put some hypothetical #'s behind the above, let's say OSB & Frank average combined 30,
The 3 of Hughes/Marek/Carey average 30, and PC & Dib give us the 12 I'm hoping for.
That's 72.
IF Marek's scoring goes up, it's likely at the expense of somebody else (Carey, and/or Hughes?) scoring less.
Not really seeing that.
