Bradley has three freshmen, one of whom I would rank among the league's best, Jaquan Johnson, Timoty van der Knaap and Gus Rugaard.
Jaquan is averaging 5 ppg (5.7 in league play), but is a solid PG, excellent defender and 2nd in the league in steals.
Belmont's Sam Orme is averaging 8.6 ppg (7.5 in league play), and Drew Scharnowski is averaging 5.6 ppg
Missouri State's Zaxton King is averaging 9.9 ppg on a fairly high volume of shots for an 0-7 squad in the MVC
UNI's Will Hornseth is averaging 5.3 ppg
ISU's Jack Daugherty is averaging 7.5 ppg
Valpo's All Wright is a starter averaging 10.7 ppg, Justus McNair 5.6 ppg
Evansville's Gabe Pozzato was averaging 15.4 ppg but went out with injury a month ago and has only played in one MVC game
Indiana State's Bruno Alocen is averaging 6.7 ppg but only 4.3 ppg in league play.
So those are the best - nobody else close to 5 ppg & deserving of mention....unless I missed someone...
I think the top 5, given their importance to the team's success and whether they stepped it up in league play,
would be...
Sam Orme, Zaxton King, All Wright, Jack Daugherty and Jaquan Jackson.
Pozatto might have gotten on the list, replacing King, except he simply hasn't played enough in league play.
