I agree with BT and Fair. The problem with Southerland is, if he does start stepping out as a leading scorer, he's too easy to shut down.  Put a tough defender on him and play him tight in man to man coverage, and he really struggles to hit his outside shots. The games he tends to do better in are against zones or man coverage where the other team is more focussed on trying to shut down a different Cuse player. Don't get me wrong, I think he's still a great scoring option to have coming off the bench, especially since other parts of his game (rebounding, overall defense) improved a lot last year - I just don't expect him to be one of the leading couple of scorers on the team. Here's my guesses on who scorers how much per game:
 
BT - 14-15
Fair - 13-14
MCW - 12
Southerland - 9-10
Coleman - 8 (tough to call - could be anywhere 6-12)
Cooney - 8 (having only 3 guards, he'll get his 20 mpg)
Christmas - 6-8
Grant - 3-5
Keita - 2-4 
 
Overall I think this will be a much more balanced team than last year, despite the loss of our 2 best scoring options from last year (Waiters and KJo). Our 3 pt shooting will be better and we'll also have better low post scoring threats with the addition of Coleman and maturation of Christmas.
