Leading Scorer?

[UK2005_24]

Just for fun, so who you predict to lead the CATS in scoring for 2018-19?? I'm going with Herro with PJ right behind him..

 

[musrat59]

My guess would be PJ.

 

[Drcats2025]

PJ is the most likely, but it could be anyone really

 

[KentuckyCat420]

Keldon Johnson will play the most minutes and is Cal’s favorite player on this team so I’m going with him.

I also think he ultimately ends up a Top 5 pick.

 

[BlueBomb]

Travis will pick up a lot of garbage buckets and shoot a lot of free throws. I don't think he'll be the leading scorer -- but in the ball park.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Travis or Johnson just because they'll both get the most touches on offense.


I foresee something like this:

Travis - 12ppg
Johnson - 12ppg
Washington - 11ppg
Green - 11ppg
Montgomery - 9ppg
Herro - 8ppg
Richards - 7ppg
Quickley - 6ppg
Hagans - 6ppg
Baker - 2ppg

I think I would remove Montgomery and add in Quade Green as a possibility. I wouldn't be surprised to see this team have a different player lead them in scoring almost every night to begin the season. I love the scoring potential of this group. Any one of them could go off for 20+ on a given night.

PJ and it's not even close.

 

[DelkBowl]

PJ and it's not even close.

Define "not even close". 6-7 points? No way imo

Keldon Johnson will play the most minutes and is Cal’s favorite player on this team so I’m going with him.

I also think he ultimately ends up a Top 5 pick.

Agree but wouldn't mind seeing PJ proving me wrong.

PJ Washington

Last year he was pretty dominant in the post....and considering he was paired with Vanderbilt/Richards/SKJ most of the time....and on a team void of 3-point shooting...he was pretty impressive.

Now he's a year older and stronger...and better. He has more help around him in the post and a lot of perimeter options too. If he can improve on his free-throw shooting...his ability to draw fouls will get him a lot of opportunities at the line.

Travis or Johnson just because they'll both get the most touches on offense.


I foresee something like this:

Travis - 12ppg
Johnson - 12ppg
Washington - 11ppg
Green - 11ppg
Montgomery - 9ppg
Herro - 8ppg
Richards - 7ppg
Quickley - 6ppg
Hagans - 6ppg
Baker - 2ppg

I agree with the order and I do think it will be very balanced but I think someone will establish themselves as a bit of a go-to guy by the end of the season. My guess is either Johnson or Travis leads the team at 14-15ish per game.

 

[JC CATS]

PJ is the most likely, but it could be anyone really

This! It may be a different guy every night with 5 or 6 suspects

 

[Play some D]

I voted for Keldon Johnson, but I really think Green may lead us in scoring.

 

[Mike-D]

Travis or Johnson just because they'll both get the most touches on offense.


I foresee something like this:

Travis - 12ppg
Johnson - 12ppg
Washington - 11ppg
Green - 11ppg
Montgomery - 9ppg
Herro - 8ppg
Richards - 7ppg
Quickley - 6ppg
Hagans - 6ppg
Baker - 2ppg

Herro’s gonna have more than 8. He’s the most offensively gifted dude on the team.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Keldon Johnson

 

[HerrosHeroes]

It will be Herro. Tyler is the only player that will consistenly score in transition, mid range, ft line and from three.

 

[bookerfan66]

Keldon Johnson

 

[ThePhoenix_rivals211191]

Tough one, cause I see several guys averaging around the same ppg. I voted PJ just because I think he'll log the most minutes. Keldon might log the 2nd most. Think Herro is the best "scorer" though.

 

[bcox13]

PJ will shoot a ton a free throws. If he shoots %70+ from the stripe I think he will lead team in scoring.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Herro or KJ

 

[CELTICAT]

Wouldn't be surprised at all if we play Herro as a scoring sixth man, and he leads the team a la Morris Peterson at Michigan St back in the day.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Herro’s gonna have more than 8. He’s the most offensively gifted dude on the team.

8 to 10 a game. I look at him having a Derek Anderson-type impact. Anderson averaged around 9 or 10 a game, but was capable of 20/game if needed. Herro is in the same ball park. UK won't need him to score 15+ a game because of all the weapons in the team. Green, PJ, Travis, Montgomery, KJ - all of those guys will get to eat when it comes to scoring.
