Here are a half dozen of today's top offensive talents, players who, if given free rein, might score like the gunners of old
Here are a half dozen of today's top offensive talents, players who, if given free rein, might score like the gunners of old
RASHAD MCCANTS
Forward, North Carolina
20.0 PPG 47.9 FG% 40.8 3FG%
The 6'4" Tar Heels junior gave Georgia Tech a taste of his firepower last February when he scored 28 of his 31 points in the second half.
SALIM STOUDAMIRE
Guard, Arizona
16.3 PPG 45.2 FG% 38.3 3FG%
The Wildcats' 6'1" senior southpaw massacred UCLA last Valentine's Day, going 13 of 17 from the field with seven treys while scoring 34.
FRANCISCO GARCIA
Forward, Louisville
16.4 PPG 43.2 FG% 32.5 3FG%
A quick first step allows the Cardinals' 6'7" junior to beat foes off the dribble; when they give him room, he drains the jumper.
SCOOTER MCFADGON
Guard, Tennessee
17.6 PPG 39.4 FG% 38.0 3FG%
Unfazed by a 3-for-22 night at Nebraska last year, the 6'5" senior dropped 33 on Kentucky. He's extra deadly at the line (91.2%).
BRACEY WRIGHT
Guard, Indiana
18.5 PPG 37.4 FG% 34.3 3FG%
Last season, as a sophomore, the 6'3" Hoosier took about 15 shots a game, less than half the number Maravich fired as a soph.
KEN TUTT
Guard, Oral Roberts
20.7 PPG 44.7 FG% 44.9 3FG%
Perhaps the nation's best deep threat, "King Tutt," a 6'1" sophomore, blitzed Western Illinois last year with 20 consecutive points.
