Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2158055, member: 1251"] I think a lot of SU fans don't appreciate how effective Thompson was at putting the ball in the basket this year. He shot 54.6% from the field. Tyus Battle scored only 73 more points than TT in 436 more minutes. On a points per minute played basis, Thompson was actually our best scorer at 0.514 ppm (Andrew White second at 0.497 ppm). In contrast, Battle scored 0.368 points per minute. Of course, TT was a nightmare defensively, and I'm not sure his points per minute numbers will stay as high when he gets Boeheim 'run-me-into-the-ground' starters minutes, but I would be shocked if Thompson doesn't average at least 15 ppg next year. I'd bet he leads the team in scoring. Unless he's an absolute disaster defensively (I mean, even worse than last year), he's gonna play 30+ mpg. [/QUOTE]
