11 pts, 8 rebs against UCSB
14 pts, 7 rebs against Wyoming
16 pts, 7 rebs against Indiana
11 pts, 8 rebs against Gonzaga
22 pts, 9 rebs against Lamar
If we want our five best guys on the floor, it's: Nic, KF, Ben, Markus, Yanick
Ben Moore averaging 9 pt and 6 rb a game is a huge jump for a Sophomore. His FG% dropping from 61% to 43% from last year to this year is concerning. With Markus back, Ben won't be playing 30 mpg anymore, more likely 20 mpg, so while his overall numbers will drop, hopefully the attention Markus attracts on defense will open some things up for Ben so he'll be a more efficient scorer.
As for having our best five guys on the floor, Ben, Markus and Yanick will never play together. We need Ben and Cannen to backup Markus and Yanick, and if you had 3 bigs on the floor at the same time, our offense would become extremely stagnant as only 2 players would be threats to shoot or do something off the dribble.
