With only seven Mondays until the first day of the college basketball season, we take a look at which players will lead the main statistical categories this season. Some picks were obvious, others were very difficult.
Points Per Game
2015-16 leader: Andrew Andrews, Washington, 20.9
2016-17 projected leader: Markelle Fultz, Washington
Pick your poison between Oregon’s Dillon Brooks, Washington’s Markelle Fultz, or UCLA’s trio of Bryce Alford, Isaac Hamilton and Lonzo Ball. I’m going with Fultz, a pre-season All-American and projected top 3 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Fultz is an elite scorer - he attacks the rim and also has a nice pull-up jumper that can extend to the three-point line.
