your comment describes SK. Lance while being a great player was viewed as a one and done player who needed a year of college before taking his game to the NBA. He was far from the leader of that team even though he was the most talented.

No you just are the best at what you do. Leading is holding others accountable, leading is ensuring your team stays on track, leading is making your counterparts better at what they do. You described the best player on the team, not the leader of it. Also freshmen are never the leaders because they dont know what that means at that level yet.

I actually expect to see the ball in Troy's hands late. He can get to the rim, create, and is a pretty good shooter.
Yes I see TC trying to get to rim and also kicking it to KJ for a smooth jumper. I will miss this years seniors but the future is bright at UC

Without a doubt it should be. That is why a quality PG is so essential especially come march; the ball should pretty much always be in the PG's hands at the end of games.
Agree 100%

I think Troy has the calm and ball skills to create space for a big shot. I've seen Shaq step up in big situations as well. And KJ really looks confident out there now. I think any of those guys could take the last shot -- it will depend on situations and who has the hot hand. I would like to think Lawrence could step up as well, but I think he's another year away from being that type of player. Clark is a wild card -- he could be an AAC rookie of the year type of player.
He may or may not BECOME a pretty good shooter. Can't say that about him now. He shot .380 overall and .328 from 3 - neither close to what I would call good. Compare that to SK's freshman year: .437 & .377 - (SK's best shooting year, he went downhill after his first 2 years from a percentage standpoint) - and even that is just maybe a B shooter, there are many guards who shoot it better than that - 'couse TC is a point, and while some scoring is essential, he doesn't have to be the top dog in points, just in making sure others get theirs efficiently would be nice.
For the sake of comparison, Michigan's Nik Stauskas shoots at .473 & .451 - now that's what I would call really good.
Of course, SK was an older, redshirt frosh, so I would expect Caupain to improve a lot next year, but experience is no guarantee of good shooting. SK's improved scoring average is because he developed the ability to drive and get fouled - free throws were his bread and butter.
Again, as a point guard TC's job is to run the team, make sure the ball goes where it needs to, start breaks, make passes etc.

I don't care that much about percentages for a freshman, especially on a team that couldn't beat you from inside. I look at form. Troy and KJ both have good form on their jumpers. The foundation is key. Troy hit a bit of a wall but it wouldn't surprise me if he had a higher percentage anyway before the last 8-10 games or so.
