With the addition of Kerwin Walton, it looks like the roster is all but set going into next season unless we have an surprise 13th addition or Nadolny decides to return. Nevertheless, we seem to have the core group for next year's team.
On paper this appears to be a more gifted offensive group than most recent Tech rosters, but maybe slightly less athletic and worse defensively. We have some serious shooters with Walton, Williams, Obanor, Tyson, Harmon, Pop, and Washington, but they'll be young and may take a bit to gel. With 4 Freshman and 5 transfers, it's a complete crapshoot predicting this, but how do you see the PPG breakdown for next year?
How I see the rotation:
1. Guard - Harmon
2. Guard - Walton or Williams
3. Forward - Tyson
4. Forward - Obanor
5. Center - Aimaq
6. Walton or Williams
7. Washington
8. Fisher
9. Pop
10. Batcho
11. Allen
12. Jennings
13. Mid-year transfer or Nadolny
PPG leaders:
Obanor - 13 ppg
Harmon - 12 ppg
Aimaq - 9 ppg
Tyson - 8 ppg
Walton - 7 ppg
Williams - 7 ppg
Washington - 6 ppg
Batcho - 4 ppg
Fisher - 4 ppg
Pop - 3 ppg
Allen - 2 ppg
Jennings - 0.5 ppg
That would be 75.5 PPG. For comparison's sake:
2021 - 71.7 ppg
2020 - 73.0 ppg
2019 - 71.9 ppg
2018 - 73.1 ppg
2017 - 75.2 ppg
I struggle giving the freshman so few PPG, but it's really difficult to predict who will separate from the pack with so many unknowns. Realistically the PPG won't descend so evenly going down the roster. The top 7-8 will separate themselves and the top 3-4 will likely be double digit scorers, but choosing who those players will be is a crapshoot. How do you see it playing out?
