On Katz podcast Few reiterated how much Rui defers out of respect for the elders and all that on not being the first option. He's obviously got it in him but you are talking about a lifetime of cultural customs to basically suppress on the court for him. Makes me like him even more, but I dont think we will see him go off for wiltjer or ammo numbers. Norvell on the other hand might get there just due to wanting it and not being afraid to let it fly. Thats not always the best approach but hard to deny that the kid has the killer instinct mindset weve been lacking for a while.
The Leading Scorer Next Season Is:

Last year the order of scoring was this: J3, Tille, Zach, Josh, Rui, Silas, Corey, Jacob
This year I predict the order to be: Zach, Rui, Brandon, Killian, Josh, Joel, Corey, Jacob, Filip, new guard
Last year Zach had a slightly better FG% than Josh because Zach takes it stronger to the hoop and scores inside more. With more experience and more minutes in the coming season, I think Zach will step up his scoring compared to last year, but not by a lot due to the scoring options at all positions. Killian will play slightly more minutes and be better so he will improve slightly in all scoring categories compared to last year. Rui will make the biggest jump due to more minutes, more experience, and improvement. Rui will shoot a LOT of free throws and score at will against many opponents. I think Brandon will compare well to J3 in all categories (hopefully be better at free throws and 3pt shots than J3) but maybe score a little less than J3 due to increased # of touches for Tillie and Rui. Corey should see about the same minutes and stats since Joel (and/or new guard X) will be in the mix at the 1 and 2 positions. Jacob and Filip will be competing hard with each other and other players to earn minutes at the 4 and 5. I'm hoping we score a couple more points per game compared to last year, but with the harder OOC schedule, that probably won't happen.

Was between Rui and Norvell. Went with Rui.
But now I'm wondering if Norvell might log more minutes due to foul situation - hopefully Rui can limit fouls (especially offensive) and stay on the court.
Either way, zags should not have trouble scoring most nights.

As for leading scorer? I couldn’t care less. I liked last year where at one point fairly deep into the season 6 Zags averaged double figures.sigpic

We have multiple NBA players on the roster. Reid Travis and Matt Daum are not coming.
Still hoping we can add a guard to add to the rotation, but none that are available for 2018 will be scoring more than Norvell much less our trio of bigs.

All kidding aside, my vote is for Zach Norvell, the gunslinger with the ulimate greenlight as a freshman
