### Note #068: Amael L'Etang (Air France)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-068-amael-letang-air-france/
Last updated: 2026-08-08T23:54:59.000Z
**Dayton** big man **Amael L'Etang** is locking in for **2026-27** for his **junior** season with the Flyers.

As a **sophomore** in **2025-26**, the **7'1"** L'Etang levitated over many with these **per game** pinpoints (in 33 GP, 25.4 MP/G):

- 11.9 PPG
- 5.9 RPG
- 1.6 APG
- 0.5 SPG
- 1.2 BPG

Since **1947-48**, only **five** NCAA Division I **sophomores**, besides **L'Etang**,averaged **11.5+** PPG, **5.5+** RPG, **1.5+** APG, **0.5+** SPG, **1+** BPG in **25.5 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):

**11.5-13 PPG**  
1\. Chris Wilcox (2001-02) - 12.0 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.8 SPG, 1.5 BPG (36 GP, 24.1 MP/G)  
2\. Markus Kennedy (2013-14) - 12.4 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 1.6 APG, **1.5 SPG**, 1.2 BPG (37 GP, 25.0 MP/G)  
3\. [**Donovan Clingan**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/donovan-clingan/) (2023-24) - 13.0 PPG, **7.4 RPG**, 1.5 APG, 0.5 SPG, **2.5 BPG** (35 GP, **22.5** MP/G)  
  
**13+ PPG**  
4\. Joakim Noah (2005-06) - **14.2 PPG**, 7.1 RPG, **2.1 APG, 1.1 SPG**, **2.4 BPG** (39 GP, 24.9 MP/G)  
5\. Javon McCrea (2011-12) - **14.7 PPG**, 6.9 RPG, **1.9 APG, 1.0 SPG**, 1.2 BPG (31 GP, 25.3 MP/G)

And the **three freshmen** to fit those parameters:  
  
1\. Javon McCrea (2010-11) - 11.8 PPG, **6.5 RPG**, 1.7 APG, **1.3 SPG**, 1.7 BPG (34 GP, **21.6** MP/G)  
2\. Paris Bass (2014-15) - 12.4 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 1.9 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.1 BPG (33 GP, 25.2 MP/G)  
3\. Nick Muszynski (2018-19) - **14.7 PPG**, 5.8 RPG, **2.7 APG**, 0.6 SPG, **2.2 BPG** (32 GP, 24.9 MP/G)  
  
**McCrea** met the mark **twice**!

Next, if we remove the **MP/G** ceiling and **GP** floor, these **four sophomores** besides **L'Etang** in **2025-26** reached those **per game** benchmarks:  
  
1\. [**Flory Bidunga**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-002-flory-bidunga-historical-stat-line-efficiency/) \- 13.3 PPG, **9.0 RPG**, 1.5 APG, 0.7 SPG, **2.6 BPG** (35 GP, 31.5 MP/G)  
2\. David Punch - 14.1 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, **1.3 SPG**, 1.9 BPG (34 GP, **29.7** MP/G)  
3\. Mohammad Habhab - 14.2 PPG, **8.3 RPG, 3.1 APG**, 0.9 SPG, 1.4 BPG (30 GP, **36.0** MP/G)  
4\. Hank Alvey - **15.2 PPG**, 7.1 RPG, 2.1 APG, **1.1 SPG**, 1.8 BPG (35 GP, 30.9 MP/G)

The **two freshmen** in **2025-26** to meet those thresholds:  
  
1\. [**Hannes Steinbach**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/hannes-steinbach/) \- 18.5 PPG, **11.8 RPG**, 1.6 APG, 1.1 SPG, 1.2 BPG (30 GP, 34.6 MP/G)  
2\. [**Caleb Wilson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/caleb-wilson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- **19.8 PPG**, 9.4 RPG, **2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.4 BPG** (**24** GP, **31.3** MP/G)

**Noah* knows a thing or two about* [*Note #051*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-051-morez-johnson-jr-big-ten-bred/)*, on top 10 2026 NBA Draft pick Morez Johnson Jr.*

### Note #067: Azavier Robinson (A-to-Z Game)

Last updated: 2026-08-02T22:00:58.000Z
Butler guard **Azavier** "Stink" **Robinson** entered the transfer portal after his 2025-26 **freshman** season with the Big East's Bulldogs, committing to **UCLA** for 2026-27.

In **2025-26**, Robinson played in **22** games before missing a chunk of the season to injury. His **per 40** across those 22 GP (18.3 MP/G):

- **13.3** PTS/40 MP
- **5.4** AST/40 MP
- **4.2** TRB/40 MP
- **3.2** STL/40 MP
- **0.6** BLK/40 MP

Since **1947-48**,only **five** NCAA Division I men's players besides **Robinson** notched **13+** PTS/40 MP, **5+** AST/40 MP, **4+** TRB/40 MP, **3+** STL/MP, **0.5+** BLK/40 MP as a **freshman** (min. 20 GP):

**13-15 PTS/40 MP**  
1\. Jamal Shead (2020-21) - 13.2 PTS/40 MP, 6.1 AST/40 MP, 4.4 TRB/40 MP, 3.3 STL/40 MP, 0.8 BLK/40 MP in **9.9 MP/G** (26 GP)  
2\. Baron Davis (1997-98) - 14.9 PTS/40 MP, **6.4 AST/40 MP**, 5.1 TRB/40 MP, 3.1 STL/40 MP, 0.5 BLK/40 MP in 31.3 MP/G (32 GP)  
  
**15+ PTS/40 MP**  
3\. Reed Sheppard (2023-24) - 17.2 PTS/40 MP, 6.2 AST/40 MP, **5.7 TRB/40 MP**, 3.4 STL/40 MP, **1.0 BLK/40 MP** in 28.9 MP/G (33 GP)  
4\. Marcus Smart (2012-13) - **18.3 PTS/40 MP**, 5.0 AST/40 MP, **6.9 TRB/40 MP, 3.6 STL/40 MP**, 0.8 BLK/MP in **33.5 MP/G** (33 GP)  
5\. Sherman Douglas (1985-86) - **19.0 PTS/40 MP, 7.4 AST/40 MP**, 4.3 TRB/40 MP, **4.3 STL/40 MP**, 0.7 BLK/40 MP in **11.4 MP/G** (27 GP)

**Davis**, the **3rd** overall pick in the **1999** NBA Draft, played the season above at **Robinson**'s new school: **UCLA**! Davis played **one** more season for the Bruins before turning pro.

In **2025-26**, only **one** other NCAA DI player (all classes) hit the above benchmarks (still min. 20 GP), **sophomore**:  
  
**Jovan Jester Jr.** \- 16.2 PTS/40 MP, 5.7 AST/40 MP, 7.1 TRB/40 MP, 3.7 STL/40 MP, 0.5 BLK/40 MP in 16.0 MP/G(35GP)

If we take away the **BLK/40 MP** threshold, only **five** players besides **Robinson** and **Jester Jr.** in **2025-26** met the rest of the **per 40** marks. 

**One**, like **Robinson**, was a **freshman**:  
  
**Gavin Hightower** \- 16.2 PTS/40 MP, 6.9 AST/MP, 6.6 TRB/40 MP, 3.1 STL/40 MP (26 GP, **10.1** MP/G)  
  
Of note, Robinson registered **4.2 TO/40 MP** in 2025-26.

Next, the **only sophomore** to qualify for the above:

[**Chris Webber**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/chris-webber/) (1992-93) - 24.3 PTS, 12.7 TRB, 3.2 AST, 1.7 STL, 3.2 BLK (36 GP, 31.6 MP/G)

**Davis** and **Cousins** both played under current Arkansas head coach John Calipari, at **Kentucky**.

To close, let's look at just **juniors** again, and lower the **GP** floor to **30**.These **eight** (besides the **five** from earlier, including **Krivas**), also met the **per 40** criteria set:

🏀

Let's look at Mobley Jr.'s ****sophomore shooting** next:  
  
****58/123** 2P/2PA **(47.2 2P%)**  
****97/236** 3P/3PA ****(41.1 3P%)**  
****79/91** FT/FTA ****(86.8 FT%)**  
  
Since the ****1980-81** season, only ****two** NCAA DI men's players besides ****Mobley Jr.** recorded **47+** 2P% (min. 120 2PA), ****41+** 3P% (min. 235 3PA), ****86.5+** FT% (min. 90 FTA) in their ****sophomore** year:  
  
1\. Terrell Gomez (2018-19) - 97/197 2P/2PA (49.2%), 117/279 3P/3PA (41.9%), 107/122 FT/FTA (87.7%)  
2\. [****Stephen Curry**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/stephen-curry/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2007-08) - ****155/287 2P/2PA (54.0%!), 162/369 3P/3PA (43.9%!), 135/151 FT/FTA (89.4%)**  
  
And ****one Big Ten** player, other than ****Mobley Jr.**, has met the above:  
  
****Shawn Respert** (1994-95) - 110/233 2P/2PA (47.2%), 119/251 3P/3PA (47.4%), 139/160 FT/FTA (86.9%)  
  
****Respert**, a ****senior** at ****Michigan State** in 1994-95, was the ****8th** overall pick in the ****1995** NBA Draft.  
  
Now, if we completely remove the **2-point** thresholds, ****two** more ****sophomores** (all conferences) appear:  
  
1\. Tyler Harvey (2013-14) - 109/252 3P/3PA **(43.3%)**, ****156/174 FT/FTA (89.7%)**  
2\. Fletcher Magee (2016-17) - ****112/265 3P/3PA** (42.3%), 109/122 FT/FTA (89.3%)  
  
****Magee** also hit ****Mobley Jr.**'s above ****2P/3P/FT** split set (****twice!**), but in his ****junior** and ****senior** seasons:  
  
****2017-18** \- ****105/186 2P/2PA (56.5%)**, 148/337 3P/3PA ****(43.9%)**, 97/107 FT/FTA (90.7%)  
****2018-19** \- 67/136 2P/2PA (49.3%), ****158/377 3P/3PA** (41.9%), ****101/111 FT/FTA (91.0%)**  
  
***Respert** *has Meleek Thomas's respect in* [**Note #041*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-041-meleek-thomas-steel-city-sniper/)**.*  
  
***Harvey** *, harvesting:*

🏀 🏀 Book it: another Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note!  
  
Anyway, in ****2024-25** as a ****freshman** in Columbus, ****Mobley Jr.** mustered this ****per game**:  
  
****13.0** PPG, ****1.5** RPG, ****2.2** APG, **0.7** SPG (32 GP, **27.8** MP/G)  
  
Only ****one** other NCAA DI ****freshman** in ****2024-25** hit 1****3+** PPG, ****1.5+** RPG, ****2+** APG, ****0.5+** SPG in ****28 MP/G** or ****less** (and he's from the ****Big Ten**):  
  
[****Tomislav Ivisic**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/tomislav-ivisic/) \- 13.0 PPG, ****7.7 RPG**, 2.3 APG, 0.6 SPG (32 GP, ****26.8** MP/G)  
  
FWIW, ****Ivisic** is a ****7'1" center** (Mobley Jr. a ****6'1" guard**).  
  
Since ****1947-48**, ****one Big Ten freshman** besides ****Mobley Jr.** and ****Ivisic** qualified for the above criteria (min. 30 GP):  
  
****Ricky Davis** (1997-98) - 15.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.2 SPG (31 GP, ****26.6** MP/G)  
  
If we remove the **GP** floor, ****three** more **Big Ten freshmen** enter:  
  
1\. Alijah Arenas (2025-26) - 14.1 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.1 APG, 0.9 SPG (14 GP, 27.6 MP/G)  
2\. Jess Settles (1993-94) - 15.3 PPG, ****7.5 RPG**, 2.3 APG, ****1.5 SPG** (27 GP, 27.3 MP/G)  
3\. Jay Edwards (1987-88) - ****15.6 PPG**, 2.2 RPG, ****3.2 APG**, 0.7 SPG (23 GP, ****26.0** MP/G)  
  
****Arenas**, who missed a large portion of ****2025-26** due to injury, is returning to ****USC** for his ****sophomore** 2026-27 season (the Trojans have some serious talent, including UConn transfer [****Eric Reibe**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/)).  
  
Lastly, Mobley Jr.'s ****freshman shooting** splits:  
  
****55/139** 2P/2PA ****(39.6 2P%)**  
****77/200** 3P/3PA ****(38.5 3P%)**  
****75/85** FT/FTA ****(88.2 FT%)**  
  
****Five** players since ****1980-81**, including ****Mobley Jr.**, shot ****39.5+** 2P% (min. 135 2PA), ****38.5+** 3P% (min. 200 3PA), ****88+** FT% (min. 85 FTA) in their ****freshman** season. The ****four** others (sorted by ****FGA**, ascending):  
  
1\. Schadrac Casimir (2014-15) - 62/143 2P/2PA (43.4%), ****94/222 3P/3PA (42.3%)**, ****102/114 FT/FTA** ****(89.5%)**  
2\. Kon Knueppel (2024-25) - ****97/171 2P/2PA (56.7%)**, 84/207 3P/3PA (40.6%), ****117/128 FT/FTA** ****(91.4%!)**  
3\. Jared McCain (2023-24) - ****88/169 2P/2PA (52.1%)**, 87/210 3P/3PA (41.4%), 77/87 FT/FTA (88.5%)  
4\. Cameron Healy (2018-19) - 62/142 2P/2PA (43.7%), ****104/251 3P/3PA** (41.4%), 76/86 FT/FTA (88.4%)  
  
****Knueppel** and ****McCain**, both ****first round** NBA Draft picks, did the above in back-to-back years at ****Duke**!  
  
***Settles** *, well, settled in nicely to* [**Note #031*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-031-jamier-jones-freshman-gamewrecker/) *on Providence-to-Missouri transfer Jamier Jones.*

### Note #063: Tahaad Pettiford (Earning His Stripes)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-063-tahaad-pettiford-earning-his-stripes/
Last updated: 2026-07-15T21:31:41.000Z
**Auburn** guard **Tahaad Pettiford** enters his **junior** year with the Tigers in 2026-27, an even larger role awaiting him.

Let's start by parsing his **sophomore 2025-26** season, his **second** with the team.

The **6'1"** Pettiford, in 38 GP (32.3 MP/G), put up:

- **15.4** PPG
- **3.8** APG
- **3.0** RPG
- **1.1** SPG
- **0.6** BPG

Since **1947-48**, **two** NCAA Division I men's players that were **6'1"** or **shorter**, besides **Pettiford**,averaged **15+** PPG, **3.5+** APG, **3+** RPG, **1+** SPG, **0.5+** BPG in their **sophomore** season:  
  
1\. Domonic Jones (2001-02) - 16.1 PPG, 3.9 APG, **4.7 RPG, 1.7 SPG, 0.8 BPG** (32 GP, **34.8** MP/G)  
2\. Trey Burke (2012-13) - **18.6 PPG, 6.7 APG**, 3.2 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 0.5 BPG (39 GP, **35.3** MP/G)

If we **remove** the **height** ceiling, and **add** in a **35 GP** floor, **five** other **sophomores** besides **Pettiford** and **Burke** meet the criteria:  
  
**15-17 PPG**  
1\. Jamont Gordon (2006-07) - 16.0 PPG, **5.3 APG, 7.1 RPG**, 1.3 SPG, 0.6 BPG (35 GP, 32.3 MP/G)  
2\. Manny Harris (2008-09) - 16.9 PPG, 4.4 APG, **6.8 RPG**, 1.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG (35 GP, 32.9 MP/G)  
  
**17-20 PPG**  
3\. Jarrett Culver (2018-19) - 18.5 PPG, 3.7 APG, 6.4 RPG, 1.5 SPG, 0.6 BPG (38 GP, 32.5 MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
4\. Cameron Payne (2014-15) - **20.2 PPG, 6.0 APG**, 3.7 RPG, **1.9 SPG**, 0.5 BPG (35 GP, 32.2 MP/G)  
5\. D'Marcus Simonds (2017-18) - **21.2 PPG**, 4.4 APG, 5.7 RPG, **1.7 SPG, 0.7 BPG** (35 GP, 34.9 MP/G)

Besides the sophomores **Gordon** (Mississippi State) and **Pettiford**, **four** other **SEC** players since **1947-48** have met the above **per game** benchmarks (still min. 35 GP):

**Seniors**  
1\. Willie Anderson Jr. (1987-88) - 16.7 PPG, 4.0 APG, **5.1 RPG, 1.9 SPG, 1.4 BPG** (35 GP, 33.2 MP/G)  
2\. JD Notae (2021-22) - **18.3 PPG**, 3.7 APG, **4.6 RPG, 2.3 SPG**, 0.7 BPG (36 GP, 33.1 MP/G)  
3\. Walter Clayton Jr. (2024-25) - **18.3 PPG, 4.2 APG**, 3.7 RPG, 1.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG (39 GP, 32.6 MP/G)  
  
**Freshmen**

### Note #062: Patrick Ngongba (Duke Dynasty)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-062-patrick-ngongba-duke-dynasty/
Last updated: 2026-07-12T18:45:23.000Z
**Duke** University big man **Patrick Ngongba** considered going pro, but chose to return to Durham for his **junior** 2026-27 season.

As a **sophomore** in **2025-26**, the **6'11"** Ngongba continued developing his inside presence (over 32 GP, **21.9** MP/G):

- 10.1 PPG
- 5.8 RPG
- 2.0 APG
- 0.6 SPG
- 1.1 BPG

Since **1947-48**, just **one** NCAA Division I men's player besides **Ngongba** averaged **10+** PPG, **5.5+** RPG, **2+** APG, **0.5+** SPG, **1+** BPG in **22 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):

**Drew Scharnowski** (2025-26) - 10.7 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.6 APG, 0.8 SPG, 1.3 BPG (30 GP, 21.8 MP/G)

**Scharnowski**, a **junior** at **Belmont** above, met this criteria in the **same** season as Ngongba!

And, following that season, Scharnowski entered the portal and transferred to... **Duke**! Where he will be **Ngongba**'s **teammate** in 2026-27**!**

If we remove the **GP** floor, **two** more names surface:  
  
1\. Jalen Johnson (2020-21) - 11.2 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.2 BPG (**13 GP**, 21.4 MP/G)  
2\. Doctor Bradley (2025-26) - 11.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.3 SPG, 1.1 BPG (**8 GP**, 22.0 MP/G)

**Johnson** (a **freshman** that year) also played for **Duke**!  
  
**Bradley** (a **senior**), who had one of the more unique [college basketball ](https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/doctor-bradley-1.html?ref=lemmonlabs.io)[routes](https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/doctor-bradley-1.html?ref=lemmonlabs.io), also qualified in **2025-26** like **Ngongba** and **Scharnowski**. So, of **four** instances over a **\~78**\-yearspan, **three** occurred in **one** season.

As we often do, let's spin this and look at Ngongba via **per 40**:

- 18.5 PTS/40 MP
- 10.6 TRB/40 MP
- 3.7 AST/40 MP
- 1.1 STL/40 MP
- 1.9 BLK/40 MP

**Seven** NCAA DI men's players since **1947-48**, besides **Ngongba**, notched **18.5+** PTS/40 MP, **10.5+** TRB/40 MP, **3.5+** AST/40 MP, **1+** STL/40 MP, **1.5+** BLK/40 MP in their **sophomore** season (min. 30 GP, stats below are **per 40**):  
  
**18.5-19.9 PTS/40 MP**  
1\. Greg Monroe (2009-10) - 18.9 PTS, 11.3 TRB, **4.4 AST**, 1.4 STL, **1.8 BLK** (34 GP, 34.2 MP/G)  
2\. Alvaro Folgueiras (2024-25) - 19.3 PTS, **12.4 TRB**, 4.3 AST, **1.9 STL**, 1.6 BLK (35 GP, 29.3 MP/G)  
  
**20-22 PTS/40 MP**  
3\. Ethan Happ (2016-17) - 20.0 PTS, **12.9 TRB**, 4.0 AST, **2.6 STL**, 1.7 BLK (37 GP, 27.9 MP/G)  
4\. Lamar Odom (1998-99) - 20.2 PTS, 10.8 TRB, **4.4 AST**, 1.0 STL, **1.8 BLK** (32 GP, 34.9 MP/G)  
5\. Kyle Filipowski (2023-24) - **21.6 PTS**, 10.9 TRB, 3.7 AST, 1.5 STL, **2.0 BLK** (36 GP, 30.4 MP/G)  
  
**22+ PTS/40 MP**  
6\. Dedric Lawson (2016-17) - **22.2 PTS**, 11.5 TRB, 3.8 AST, 1.5 STL, **2.5 BLK** (32 GP, 34.5 MP/G)  
7\. Ahsan Asadullah (2019-20) - **24.9 PTS, 13.5 TRB, 5.3 AST, 1.6 STL**, 1.6 BLK (31 GP, 29.8 MP/G)

**Filipowski**, like **Ngongba** and others above, also (shocker) played at **Duke**.

**Monroe*, well, rowed his way into* [*Note #026*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-026-nolan-minessale-marquette-made/) *on Marquette-made man, Nolan Minessale.*

### Note #061: Nigel James Jr. (Pure Drive)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-061-nigel-james-jr-pure-drive/
Last updated: 2026-07-09T01:22:17.000Z
**Marquette** guard, and 2026 Big East Freshman of the Year, **Nigel James Jr.** is returning to the Golden Eagles for his **sophomore** 2026-27 season.  
  
As a **freshman** in **2025-26**, James Jr. was an immediate jolt (over 32 GP, 29.2 MP/G):

- 16.4 PPG
- 4.9 APG
- 3.4 RPG
- 1.9 SPG

Since **1947-48**, only **24** NCAA Division I men's players (including **James Jr.**) have averaged at least **16** PPG, **4.5** APG, **3.0** RPG, **1.5** SPG in their **freshman** season.

If we tighten the screws and use James Jr.'s **exact** PPG/APG/RPG/SPG numbers (above) as the minimum benchmarks, that **24** whittles down to **six**. The other **five**:

**17-20 PPG**  
1\. Shaheen Holloway (1996-97) - 17.3 PPG, **6.3 APG**, 3.8 RPG, **2.8 SPG**  
2\. [**Dennis Smith Jr.**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/dennis-smith-jr/) (2016-17) - 18.1 PPG, 6.2 APG, 4.6 RPG, 1.9 SPG  
  
**20-21 PPG**  
3\. Darrion Trammell (2020-21) - 20.5 PPG, 5.3 APG, 3.8 RPG, 2.0 SPG  
4\. [**Kenny Anderson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/kenny-anderson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1989-90) - 20.6 PPG, **8.1 APG, 5.5 RPG, 2.3 SPG** 
  
**21+ PPG**  
5\. [**Danny Ainge**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/danny-ainge/) (1977-78) - **21.1 PPG**, 5.3 APG, **5.8 RPG**, 2.0 SPG

FWIW, all **six** were guards,and **half** were **6'0"** or **shorter**: **James Jr.** (6'0"), **Trammell** (5'10"), **Holloway** (5'10").

Okay, if we go back to the originally-established **per game** baselines, these **five players** besides **James Jr.** met those thresholds in **29.5 MP/G** or **less** (still min. 30 GP):  
  
**16-17 PPG**  
1\. Andrew Moten (1986-87) - 16.0 PPG, 4.7 APG, 3.3 RPG, 1.6 SPG (33 GP, 29.1 MP/G)  
2\. Michael Weathers (2016-17) - 16.7 PPG, 4.8 APG, **4.2 RPG**, 1.9 SPG (32 GP, 28.3 MP/G)  
  
**17-19 PPG**  
3\. Thomas Walkup (2015-16) - **18.1 PPG**, 4.5 APG, **6.9 RPG, 2.1 SPG** (34 GP, 29.5 MP/G)  
4\. Russ Smith (2013-14) - **18.2 PPG**, 4.6 APG, 3.3 RPG, **2.0 SPG** (37 GP, 29.3 MP/G)  
  
**19+ PPG**  
5\. Jawun Evans (2016-17) - **19.2 PPG, 6.4 APG**, 3.4 RPG, 1.8 SPG (32 GP, 29.3 MP/G)

**Weathers** and **James Jr.** were both **freshmen**, Evans the **only sophomore**, and **Moten**, **Walkup**, and **Smith** all **seniors**.

**Holloway*, *Trammell*, *Walkup*, *Smith*, and *Evans* allbegan their Lemmon Labs journey in* [*Note #055*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-055-mikel-brown-jr-lead-guard-gravity/) *on Louisville one-season wonder Mikel Brown Jr.*

### Note #060: Darin Smith Jr. (Northeast Built)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-060-darin-smith-jr-northeast-built/
Last updated: 2026-07-14T21:22:37.000Z
Two-year Central Connecticut State University forward **Darin Smith Jr.**, the 2026 NEC Player of the Year, has transferred to Big Ten-member **Rutgers** for his **junior** 2026-27 season.

In **2025-26**, as a **sophomore** for the Blue Devils, Smith Jr. shined across **30** GP (32.6 MP/G). 

Let's look at his **scoring** and **rebounding**:

- **20.7** PPG
- **5.4** RPG

That season, **nine** NCAA Division I men's players besides **Smith Jr.** averaged **20.5+** PPG and **5+** RPG. The other **sophomore**:

[**Juke Harris**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-005-juke-harris-ray-allen-sophomore-leap/) \- 21.4 PPG, 6.5 RPG (35 GP, 35.1 MP/G)

And the **two freshmen**:  
  
1\. [**Cameron Boozer**](https://lemmonlabs/io/tag/cameron-boozer/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG (38 GP, 33.4 MP/G)  
2\. [**AJ Dybantsa**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 25.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G)

And for fun, the **three juniors** and **three seniors**:

**Seniors**  
1\. Shelton Williams-Dryden - 20.7 PPG, **9.1 RPG** (32 GP, 35.2 MP/G)  
2\. [**Nick Martinelli**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-054-nick-martinelli-upperclassman-evolution/) \- **23.0 PPG**, 6.2 RPG (33 GP, 35.6 MP/G)  
3\. [**Jordan Riley**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/jordan-riley/) \- **23.6 PPG**, 6.0 RPG (30 GP, **37.8** MP/G)  
  
**Juniors**  
1\. Isaac Burns - 20.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG (**20** GP, 30.9 MP/G)  
2\. JT Toppin - 21.8 PPG, **10.8 RPG** (**25** GP, 34.8 MP/G)  
3\. [**PJ Haggerty**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/pj-haggerty/) \- **23.4 PPG**, 5.3 RPG (31 GP, 35.2 MP/G)

If we remove **RPG**, just **one sophomore** besides **Smith Jr.** and **Harris** scorched for **20.5+** PPG in **2025-26** (min. 30 GP):

[**Labaron Philon**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-049-labaron-philon-freshman-sophomore-study/) \- 22.0 PPG (33 GP, 30.9 MP/G)

And the **two freshmen**, besides **Boozer** and **Dybantsa** above, to also rip off that **PPG** performance that season (still min. 30 GP):  
  
1\. [**Ebuka Okorie**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-040-ebuka-okorie-nashua-natural/) \- 23.2 PPG (31 GP, 35.1 MP/G)  
2\. [**Darius Acuff Jr.**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- **23.5 PPG** (36 GP, 35.1 MP/G)

And here are the **six juniors** (besides **Haggerty**) and **six seniors** (besides **Williams-Dryden**, **Martinelli**, and **Riley**) to also go similarly score-crazy that year:  
  
**Seniors**  
1\. Nick Boyd - 20.7 PPG (35 GP, 31.9 MP/G)  
2\. Lamar Wilkerson - 20.9 PPG (32 GP, 34.0 MP/G)  
3\. Kamrin Oriol - 20.9 PPG (32 GP, **35.7** MP/G)  
4\. Camren Hunter - 21.0 PPG (34 GP, 31.0 MP/G)  
5\. Jadin Booth - **21.6 PPG** (30 GP, **36.4** MP/G)  
6\. Dominique Daniels Jr. - **23.2 PPG** (33 GP, **36.3** MP/G)  
  
**Juniors**  
1\. Nasir Whitlock - 20.5 PPG (35 GP, 35.0 MP/G)  
2\. Money Williams - 20.6 PPG (34 GP, 31.2 MP/G)  
3\. [**Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-029-dra-gibbs-lawhorn-shooting-anomaly/) \- 20.7 PPG (35 GP, 34.1 MP/G)  
4\. Michael James - **21.4 PPG** (32 GP, **36.8** MP/G)  
5\. [**Jack Karasinski**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/jack-karasinski/) \- **21.7 PPG** (30 GP, **29.9** MP/G)  
6\. Josh Hubbard - **22.1 PPG** (32 GP, 33.3 MP/G)

🏀 🏀 It's going to take a Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note to get through the rest of Smith Jr.'s ****2025-26** ****shooting**!  
  
Anyway, if we reinstate the ****FT%** floor and remove ****3s** entirely, ****three sophomores** (including ****Smith Jr.**) have met the ****2P** (49.5%+, 295+ 2PA) and ****FT** (89.5%+, 175+ FTA) baselines in a ****single** season. The other ****two**:  
  
1\. Luke Babbitt (2009-10) - 209/401 (52.1%), 199/217 FT/FTA ****(91.7 FT%)**

Okay, now let's trade ****3s** for ****2s**: ****Smith Jr.** is the **only sophomore** since ****1980-81** to hit the ****3P** (37.5%+, 145+ 3PA) and ****FT** milestones!  
  
****Five juniors** accomplished those shooting lines:  
  
****145-200 3PA**  
1\. Luis Flores (2002-03) - 56/145 3P/3PA (38.6%), ****221/245 FT/FTA** (90.2%)  
  
****200-300 3PA**  
2\. Sam Merrill (2018-19) - 86/229 3P/3PA (37.6%), 189/208 FT/FTA (90.9%)  
3\. Jodie Meeks (2008-09) - ****117/288 3P/3PA** ****(40.6%)**, ****211/234 FT/FTA** (90.2%)  
4\. Donald Sims (2009-10) - ****123/288 3P/3PA** ****(42.7%)**, 175/184 FT/FTA ****(95.1%!!)**  
  
****300+ 3PA**  
5\. J.J. Redick (2004-05) - ****121/300 3P/3PA (40.3%)**, 196/209 FT/FTA ****(93.8%!)**  
  
Lastly, for fun, if we re-add ****FT**s but drop the floor **slightly* to ****89%**, and lower the ****2P** accuracy a **touch* to ****49%**, ****one** player besides **Smith Jr.** met this marginally-adjusted **2P/3P/FT** criteria set in a ****single** season:  
  
****Jimmer Fredette** (2010-11) - 222/452 2P/2PA **(49.1%)*, 124/313 3P/3PA (39.6%), 252/282 FT/FTA **(89.4%)*  
  
****Fredette** was a ****junior**, and not to mention the National Player of the Year, in the season above. And, of note, had ****320** more **FGA** and ****105** more ****FTA** than ****Smith Jr**.

### Note #059: Tounde Yessoufou (Finding His Tempo)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-059-tounde-yessoufou-finding-his-tempo/
Last updated: 2026-07-01T21:22:03.000Z
New **St. John's** wing **Tounde Yessoufou**, who played at **Baylor** in **2025-26** andtested the NBA Draft waters before transferring, prepares for his highly-anticipated **sophomore** 2026-27 season.

As a **freshman** for the Bears, Yessoufou didn't hear "no" often, flying through GO to collect this **per game** profile (in 34 GP, **32.6** MP/G): 

- 17.8 PPG
- 5.9 RPG
- 1.6 APG
- 2.0 SPG
- 0.6 BPG

Since **1947-48**, just **one freshman** besides **Yessoufou** averaged **17.5+** PPG, **5.5+** PPG, **1.5+** APG, **2+** SPG, **0.5+** BPG in **33 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):

[**Zion Williamson**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/zion-williamson/) (2018-19) - 22.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.1 APG, 2.1 SPG, 1.8 BPG (33 GP, 30.0 MP/G)

For fun, **five sophomores** also qualify for the above (wait until you see it):

**17.5-18 PPG**  
1\. Dachon Burke (2017-18) - 17.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 2.1 SPG, 0.5 BPG (32 GP, 32.6 MP/G)  
2\. Dwayne Wade (2001-02) - 17.8 PPG, **6.6 RPG, 3.4 APG, 2.5 SPG,** **1.1 BPG** (32 GP, **29.2** MP/G)  
3\. Marcus Smart (2013-14) - 18.0 PPG, 5.9 RPG, **4.8 APG, 2.9 SPG**, 0.6 BPG (31 GP, 32.7 MP/G)  
  
**18+ PPG**  
4\. **Michael Jordan** (1982-83) - **20.0 PPG**, 5.5 RPG, 1.6 APG, 2.2 SPG, **0.8 BPG** (36 GP, 30.9 MP/G)  
5\. DeSean Murray (2015-16) - **20.2 PPG,** **7.4 RPG**, 1.7 APG, 2.0 SPG, 0.5 BPG (31 GP, **29.1** MP/G)

That's right, **MJ**!!!

And the **three juniors** to meet those thresholds:  
  
1\. Ahmad Thomas (2016-17) - 18.0 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.3 APG, **3.0 SPG**, 0.5 BPG (33 GP, 33.0 MP/G)  
2\. Amarri Monroe (2024-25) - 18.1 PPG, **9.1 RPG!**, 1.6 APG, 2.3 SPG, 0.8 BPG (32 GP, 32.9 MP/G)  
3\. Dwayne Wade (2002-03) - **21.5 PPG**, 6.3 RPG, **4.4 APG**, 2.2 SPG, **1.3 BPG** (33 GP, 32.1 MP/G)  
  
Yessir, **D-Wade** did it **twice**!

Side note: the **only** player in **2025-26** besides **Yessoufou** to satisfy these **per game** baselines was **senior**:

[**Aaron Nkrumah**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-035-aaron-nkrumah-g-league-elite-camp-elevator/) \- 17.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.0 APG, 2.8 SPG, 0.5 BPG (33 GP, 31.4 MP/G)

Okay, if we remove the **MP/G** and **GP** criteria, and look at just **freshmen**, **two** more names join **Yessoufou** and **Williamson** from earlier:  
  
1\. [**Ben Simmons**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/ben-simmons/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2015-16) - 19.2 PPG, **11.8 RPG!, 4.8 APG**, 2.0 SPG, 0.8 BPG (33 GP, 34.9 MP/G)  
2\. Kenny Battle (1984-85) - **20.1 PPG**, 6.2 RPG, 2.2 APG, **2.2 SPG, 1.5 BPG** (27 GP, **37.1** MP/G)

Next, if we remove **BPG** entirely, **four** more **freshmen** find their way:  
  
1\. [**Kenny Anderson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/kenny-anderson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1989-90) - 20.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG, **8.1 APG!, 2.3 SPG** (35 GP, **37.7** MP/G)  
2\. [**Danny Ainge**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/danny-ainge/) (1977-78) - 21.1 PPG, 5.8 RPG, **5.3 APG**, 2.0 SPG (30 GP, **38.0** MP/G)  
3\. Michael Redd (1997-98) - 21.9 PPG, **6.5 RPG**, 3.0 APG, 2.0 SPG (30 GP, **37.9** MP/G)  
4\. [**Jason Conley**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/jason-conley/) (2001-02) - **29.3 PPG, 8.0 RPG**, 2.4 APG, **2.9 SPG** (28 GP, 34.3 MP/G)

**Wade*, well, wades around in* [*Note #035*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-035-aaron-nkrumah-g-league-elite-camp-elevator/) *on Aaron Nkrumah^ and* [*Note #038*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-038-cameron-carr-nba-combine-clinician/) *on top 25 2026 NBA Draft selection Cameron Carr.*

### Note #058: Bennett Stirtz (Midwest Maestro)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-058-bennett-stirtz-midwest-maestro/
Last updated: 2026-06-26T19:55:28.000Z
Beginning his career at Division II Northwest Missouri State, **Bennett Stirtz** rose to Division I Drake, and Iowa, all the way to the **16th** overall selection in the **2026 NBA Draft**.

Let's start with **Stirtz**'s 2025-26 **senior shooting** (at **Iowa**, where he led the Hawkeyes to their first Elite Eight since 1987):

- 159/269 2P/2PA **(59.1 2P%)**
- 92/257 3P/3PA **(35.8 3P%)**
- 140/165 FT/FTA **(84.8 FT%)**

Since **1980-81**, **Stirtz** is the **only** NCAA Division I men's player to shoot **59+** 2P% (min. 265 2PA), **35.5+** 3P% (min. 255 3PA), **84.5+** FT% (min. 165 FTA) in a **single** season!

If we lower the qualifying **2P%** to **56.5**, **two** more players enter:  
  
1\. [**Justin Wright-Foreman**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/justin-wright-foreman/) (2018-19) - **220/387 2P/2PA** (56.8%), 110/259 3P/3PA **(42.5%)**, 178/206 FT/FTA (86.4%)  
2\. Chris Clemons (2018-19) - 165/290 2P/2PA **(56.9%)**, **139/389 3P/3PA** (35.7%), **246/283 FT/FTA (86.9%)**

Yes, **Wright-Foreman** and **Clemons** met the criteria in the **same** season.

For fun, if we lower the **2P%** to **55**, another player is revealed:

[**Buddy Hield**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/buddy-hield/) (2015-16) - 154/279 2P/2PA (55.2%), 147/322 3P/3PA **(45.7%!)**, 176/200 FT/FTA (88.0%)

**Three** more players appear if we slash the **2P%** to **52** (sorted by FGA ascending):  
  
1\. Jodie Meeks (2008-09) - 146/280 2P/2PA **(52.1%)**, 117/288 3P/3PA (40.6%), 211/234 FT/FTA **(90.2%)**  
2\. J.J. Redick (2004-05) - 163/313 2P/2PA **(52.1%)**, **139/330 3P/3PA** **(42.1%)**, **221/256 FT/FTA** (86.3%)  
3\. Lester Hudson (2008-09) - **207/398 2P/2PA** (52.0%), 106/299 3P/3PA (35.5%), 148/168 FT/FTA (88.1%)

Okay, let's remove **3s** entirely and go back to the original **2P%** (59): there are **five** other instances, besides **Stirtz** in **2025-26**, of a player hitting the **2P** and **FT** baselines in a **single** season:

**Seniors**  
1\. Jimmy DeGraffenried (1995-96) - 167/274 2P/2PA **(60.9%)**, **162/188 FT/FTA (86.2%)**  
2\. Fred Jones (2001-02) - 164/276 2P/2PA (59.4%), **169/194 FT/FTA** **(87.1%)**,   
  
**Juniors**  
3\. [**Keith Van Horn**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/keith-van-horn/) (1995-96) - **182/307 2P/2PA** (59.3%), **160/188 FT/FTA** (85.1%)  
4\. Nick Fazekas (2005-06) - **237/400 2P/2PA** (59.3%), 154/182 FT/FTA (84.6%)

**Sophomores**  
5\. [Keith Van Horn](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/keith-van-horn/) (1994-95) - 187/298 2P/2PA **(62.8%)**, 143/167 FT/FTA (85.6%)

Yep, **Van Horn** did it **twice**.

Now, to wrap section one, Stirtz's **senior per game** (in **37** GP, **37.7** MP/G):

- **19.8** PPG
- **4.4** APG
- **2.6** RPG
- **1.4** SPG

Since **1947-48**, **nine seniors** besides **Stirtz** have sustained those **per game** benchmarks across **35+** GP:

**19.8-20 PPG**  
1\. Pierre Jackson (2012-13) - 19.8 PPG, **7.1 APG**, 3.8 RPG, 1.5 SPG (36 GP, 34.8 MP/G)  
2\. Nate Blackwell (1986-87) - 19.8 PPG, 4.6 APG, 4.5 RPG, 1.4 SPG (36 GP, **39.5** MP/G)  
3\. Mookie Blaylock (1988-89) - 20.0 PPG, **6.7 APG**, 4.7 RPG, **3.7 SPG!** (35 GP, **38.8** MP/G)  
  
**20.1-21 PPG**  
4\. Jon Elmore (2018-19) - 20.3 PPG, 5.1 APG, **5.1 RPG**, 1.7 SPG (37 GP, 35.9 MP/G)  
5\. Marvelle Harris (2015-16) - 20.7 PPG, 4.5 APG, 4.7 RPG, **2.2 SPG** (35 GP, **36.7** MP/G)  
  
**21-24 PPG**  
6\. Norris Cole (2010-11) - **21.7 PPG,** **5.3 APG, 5.8 RPG, 2.2 SPG** (36 GP, 35.7 MP/G)  
7\. Danny Ferry (1988-89) - **22.6 PPG**, 4.7 APG, **7.4 RPG**, 1.6 SPG (35 GP, 33.2 MP/G)  
8\. Marc Brown (1990-91) - **23.3 PPG**, 5.1 APG, 4.0 RPG, **2.0 SPG** (35 GP, **37.8** MP/G)  
  
**24+ PPG**  
9\. Reggie Hamilton (2011-12) - **26.2 PPG**, 5.1 APG, 3.8 RPG, **2.0 SPG** (36 GP, 35.7 MP/G)

**Clemons* came on board in* [*Note #050*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-050-ryan-conwell-college-grand-slam/) *on Ryan Conwell, a 2026 NBA Draft second round pick.*

### Note #057: Richie Saunders (Net-Scorching Wing)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-057-richie-saunders-net-scorching-wing/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T22:15:20.000Z
Four-year Brigham Young Cougar **Richie Saunders**, a Utah native, was taken with the second pick of the second round in the **2026 NBA Draft** (after his former college teammate, [**AJ Dybantsa**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io), was selected with the first pick of the first round).

Saunders' **senior** 2025-26 season in Provo was cut short after just **25 GP** due to a torn ACL. He was still a skillful shooter:

- 85/135 2P/2PA **(63.0 2P%)**
- 64/170 3P/3PA **(37.6 3P%)**
- 89/109 FT/FTA **(81.7 FT%)**

Since **1980-81**, just **one** NCAA Division I men's player besides **Saunders** shot **63+** 2P% (min. 135 2PA), **37.5+** 3P% (min. 170 3PA), **81.5+** FT% (min. 105 FTA) in a **single** season:

**Dylan Windler** (2018-19) - 143/217 2P/2PA (65.9%), 100/233 3P/3PA (42.9%), 116/137 FT/FTA (84.7%)

**Windler**, a **senior** in the season above, was the **26th** overall pick in the **2019** NBA Draft.

If we remove **FT**s entirely, **five** more **seniors** have hit the **2P** and **3P** baselines:

**305-399 FGA**  
1\. Amanze Egekeze (2017-18) - 89/139 2P/2PA (64.0%), **96/226 3P/3PA** **(42.5%)**  
2\. Mike Gansey (2005-06) - **129/196 2P/2PA** **(65.8%)**, 75/175 3P/3PA **(42.9%)**  
3\. Nazareth Mitrou-Long (2016-17) - 87/136 2P/2PA (64.0%), **98/255 3P/3PA** (38.4%)  
  
**400+FGA**  
4\. Ian Clark (2012-13) - 115/178 2P/2PA (64.6%), **102/222 3P/3PA** **(45.9%!)**  
5\. Darlinstone Dubar (2023-24) - **150/231 2P/2PA** **(64.9%)**, 73/183 3P/3PA (39.9%)

**Egekeze** and **Clark**, like **Windler**, all accomplished the above while playing at **Belmont**.

And just **one sophomore** has met those **2P** and **3P** marks since **1980-81**:

**Alex Karaban** (2023-24) - 110/172 2P/2PA (64.0%), 81/214 3P/3PA (37.9%)

The two-time National Champion **Karaban** was selected **29th** overall in the **2026 NBA Draft**.

And only **one freshman** has reached those **2-** and **3-point** thresholds:

**Lonzo Ball** (2016-17) - 109/149 2P/2PA **(73.2%!)**, 80/194 3P/3PA (41.2%)

**One** player besides **Saunders** in **2025-26** qualified for the **2P** and **3P** criteria as well:

[**Jack Karasinski**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/jack-karasinski/) \- 141/207 2P/2PA (68.1%), 71/171 3P/3PA (41.5%

**Karasinski**, a **junior** that season, transferred from Bellarmine to **Northwestern** for **2026-27**.

In **2025-26**, here were **Saunders**' **per game** stats (31.4 MP/G):

- 18.0 PPG
- 5.8 RPG

### Note #056: Henri Veesaar (7'0" Floor Spacer)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-056-henri-veesaar-pro-floor-spacer/
Last updated: 2026-06-26T13:01:22.000Z
North Carolina's **Henri Veesaar** opted to forego his final year of college eligibility to enter the **2026 NBA Draft**, where he was selected **52nd** overall.

In **2025-26**, the **7'0"** tall, **7'2"** wing-spanned Veesaar (who was at **Arizona** for three seasons prior, playing as a **freshman** and **junior** while **redshirting** as a **sophomore**) charted the following for the Tar Heels (31 GP, 31.4 MP/G):

- 17.0 PPG
- 8.7 RPG
- 2.1 APG
- 0.6 SPG
- 1.2 BPG

Here are the **seven seniors** besides **Veesaar**, since **1947-48**, to average **17+** PPG, **8.5+** RPG, **2+** APG, **0.5+** SPG, **1+** BPG in **31.5 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):

**17-18 PPG**  
1\. Brad Miller (1997-98) - 17.2 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.5 APG, **1.2 SPG**, 1.6 BPG (34 GP, **29.2** MP/G)  
2\. Xavier Cooks (2017-18) - 17.2 PPG, 8.8 RPG, **3.6 APG, 1.0 SPG, 2.1 BPG** (30 GP, **29.8** MP/G)  
3\. Mason Peatling (2019-20) - 17.2 PPG, **9.1 RPG, 3.2 APG**, 0.7 SPG, 1.5 BPG (31 GP, 30.7 MP/G)  
4\. Hunter Dickinson (2024-25) - 17.4 PPG, **10.0 RPG**, 2.1 APG, **1.0 SPG**, 1.3 BPG (34 GP, 30.1 MP/G)  
  
**18-19 PPG**  
5\. Johni Broome (2024-25) - **18.6 PPG, 10.8 RPG**, 2.9 APG, 0.9 SPG, **2.1 BPG** (36 GP, 30.2 MP/G)  
6\. Danny Granger (2004-05) - **18.8 PPG**, 8.9 RPG, 2.4 APG, **2.1 SPG, 2.0 BPG** (30 GP, 30.0 MP/G)  
  
**19+ PPG**  
7\. Nathan Boothe (2015-16) - **19.3 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 3.3 APG**, 0.7 SPG, 1.0 BPG (32 GP, 31.5 MP/G)

If we **remove** the **GP** floor and **MP/G** ceiling, these **two** players met those **per game** thresholds in **2025-26** like **Veesaar**:  
  
1\. [**Caleb Wilson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/caleb-wilson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 19.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, **2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG**, 1.4 BPG (24 GP, 31.3 MP/G)  
2\. JT Toppin - **21.8 PPG, 10.8 RPG**, 2.1 APG, 1.4 SPG, **1.7 BPG** (25 GP, 34.8 MP/G)

**Wilson**, the **4th** overall pick in the **2026 NBA Draft**,and **Veesaar** were teammates that season at **UNC**!

**Dickinson* debuted in* [*Note #033*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-033-michael-ajayi-true-bulldog/) *on real Bulldog, Michael Ajayi.*

**Granger* went back-to-back before:*   
[*Note #018*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-018-thomas-haugh-high-voltage-per-game-output/) *(Thomas Haugh) / Note* [*#019*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-019-allen-graves-complete-court-impact/) *(Allen Graves)*

**Toppin* also teaches us a thing or two in the* [*Haugh Note*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-018-thomas-haugh-high-voltage-per-game-output/)*, plus* [*Note #038*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-038-cameron-carr-nba-combine-clinician/) *on Cameron Carr.*

Okay, to Veesaar's **2025-26 shooting**! 

- 168/248 2P/2PA **(67.7 2P%!)**
- 40/94 3P/3PA **(42.6 3P%!)**
- 72/117 FT/FTA **(61.5 FT%)**

Of the **28** instances of an NCAA DI men's player shooting **67.5+** 2P% (min. 245 2PA) and **61.5+** FT% (min. 115 FTA) in a **single** season, **Veesaar** is the **only** one to attempt **90+ threes**.

If we drop the **3PA** floor to **85**, another player enters the arena:

**Jacob Ognacevic** (2022-23) - 195/276 2P/2PA (70.7%), 115/135 FT/FTA (85.2%), 26/88 3P/3PA (29.5%)

Lower it a *little* further to **80**, and we see:

**Obi Toppin** (2019-20) - 213/305 2P/2PA (69.8%), 99/141 FT/FTA (70.2%), 32/82 3P/3PA (39.0%)

Alright, let's go to **70** for **one** more:

[**Zion Williamson**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/zion-williamson/) (2018-19) - 272/364 2P/2PA (74.7%!), 130/203 FT/FTA (64.0%), 24/71 3P/3PA (33.8%)

**Ognacevic** was a **junior** in the season above, **Toppin** a **sophomore**, and **Williamson** a **freshman**.

Continuing on: if we drop the **3PA** floor **again** to **50**, we get **one** more player - **twice**!

**Ryan Kalkbrenner**  
2024-25 - **250/354 2P/2PA (70.6%)**, **109/160 FT/FTA** (68.1%), **21/61 3P/3PA (34.4%)**  
2023-24 - 225/319 2P/2PA (70.5%), 106/149 FT/FTA **(71.1%)**, 16/54 3P/3PA (29.6%)

And a final reduction to **45+** 3PA for:

**Larry Johnson** (1990-91) - 291/417 2P/2PA (69.8%), 162/198 FT/FTA (81.8%), 17/48 3P/3PA (35.4%)

Lastly, for fun, the other **three** times since **1980-81** a **7-footer**, besides **Veesaar**, shot **42.5+** 3P% (min. 90 3PA) in a **single** season:  
  
1\. David Przybyszewski (2003-04) - 51/112 3P/3PA **(45.5%)**  
2\. David Przybyszewski (2004-05) - 48/113 3P/3PA (42.5%)  
3\. Quinten Post (2023-24) - **50/116 3P/3PA** (43.1%)

*This *Toppin* (Obi) takes over* [*Note #051*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-051-morez-johnson-jr-big-ten-bred/) *on former Big Ten big man Morez Johnson Jr., the 9th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.*

**Kalkbrenner* is caught in* [*Note #016*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/) *on new USC center Eric Reibe.*

**Johnson* is too in the* [*Johnson Jr. Note*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-051-morez-johnson-jr-big-ten-bred/)*, as well as* [*Note #022*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-022-aday-mara-playmaking-unicorn/) *on Johnson Jr.'s 2025-26 Michigan teammate: Aday Mara (the 12th overall pick in 2026).*

Okay, if we institute a **29.5 MP/G** ceiling, and look at all classes, just **five** others besides **Brown Jr.** met theabovecriteria (Mikel is the **only freshman**!):

**18-19 PPG**  
1\. Thomas Walkup (2015-16) - 18.1 PPG, 4.5 APG, **6.9 RPG, 2.1 SPG** (34 GP, 29.5 MP/G)

🏀 🏀 Make way for another Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note!  
  
Anyway, let's continue the ****shooting** discussion from the previous section: if we remove ****2P** (50+%, min. 110 2PA) from the equation, ****12** other ****freshmen** besides the ****five** (****Brown Jr.**, ****Dixon**, ****Knueppel**, ****McLemore**, ****Curry**) above met the ****3P** (34+%, min. 160 3PA) and ****FT** (84+%, min. 120 FTA) minimums:

### Note #054: Nick Martinelli (Upperclassman Evolution)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-054-nick-martinelli-upperclassman-evolution/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T02:27:09.000Z
Four-year Northwesterner **Nick Martinelli** moved on to the **2026 NBA Draft** following his final season in Evanston, where he was selected **55th** overall.

The Glenview, **Illinois** native, who grew up and played high school basketball **\~10** miles from the Wildcats campus, was a **Big Ten** breakout in **2024-25** and **2025-26**.

As a **senior** (2025-26), Martinelli marveled in 33 GP (35.6 MP/G): 

- 23.0 PPG
- 6.2 RPG
- 2.0 APG
- 0.8 SPG

Since **1947-48**, just **three** **Big Ten** players besides **Martinelli** have averaged at least **23+** PPG, **6+** RPG, **2+** APG, **0.5+** SPG:  
  
1\. Steve Smith (1990-91) - 25.1 PPG, 6.1 RPG, **3.6 APG**, 0.5 SPG (30 GP, **37.8 MP/G**)  
2\. Glen Rice (1988-89) - 25.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.3 APG, **1.1 SPG** (**37 GP**, 34.0 MP/G)  
3\. Dennis Hopson (1986-87) - **29.0 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 3.6 APG, 2.2 SPG** (33 GP, 35.1 MP/G)  
  
All **three** players, who were each **seniors** in the seasons above, were **top five** NBA Draft picks.

In **2025-26**, there were **three** NCAA Division I men's players (including **Martinelli**) to average the above **per game** baselines. The other **two**:  
  
1\. [**Jordan Riley**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/jordan-riley/) \- 23.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.5 APG, **1.9 SPG** (30 GP, **37.8 MP/G**)  
2\. [**AJ Dybantsa**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- **25.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.7 APG,** 1.1 SPG (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G0  
  
**Riley** was a **senior** like Martinelli, **Dybantsa** a **freshman**.

Okay, now if we go back to **Big Ten** players (since **1947-48**) and remove **SPG**, **two** more names enter (that met the **PPG/RPG/APG** thresholds):  
  
1\. Scott May (1975-76) - 23.5 PPG, 7.7 RPG, **2.1 APG** (32 GP, 33.0 MP/G)  
2\. Zach Edey (2023-24) - **25.2 PPG, 12.2 RPG**, 2.0 APG (**39 GP**, 32.0 MP/G)

Both players were **seniors** in the seasons above. **May** was the **2nd** overall pick in the **1976** NBA Draft, while **Edey** was selected **9th** overall in **2024**.

Onward to Martinelli's **2025-26 shooting** splits!

- 223/418 2P/2PA **(53.3 2P%)**
- 45/108 3P/3PA **(41.7 3P%)**
- 178/220 FT/FTA **(80.9 FT%)**

Since **1980-81**, just **two** others besides **Martinelli** have shot **53+** 2P% (min. 415 2PA), **41.5+** 3P% (min. 105 3PA), **80.5+** FT% (min. 220 FTA) in a **single** season:  
  
1\. Dennis Hopson (1986-87) - 271/493 2P/2PA (55.0%), 67/160 3P/3PA (41.9%), 215/264 FT/FTA (81.4%)  
2\. [**Bo Kimble**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/bo-kimble/) (1989-90) - **312/563 2P/2PA (55.4%), 92/200 3P/3PA (46.0!), 231/268 FT/FTA (86.2%)**  
  
If we remove **FT**s entirely, **five** more names appear who met the above **2P** and **3P** criteria:  
  
**550-575 FGA**  
1\. Calbert Cheaney (1992-93) - 256/442 2P/2PA **(57.9%)**, 47/110 3P/3PA **(42.7%)**  
2\. Daylen Kountz (2021-22) - 228/421 2P/2PA (54.2%), **59/140 3P/3PA** (42.1%)  
  
**575-600 FGA**  
3\. Danny Ferry (1988-89) - **255/469 2P/2PA** (54.4%), 45/106 3P/3PA (42.5%)  
4\. Joe Jakubick (1982-83) - **243/458 2P/2PA** (53.1%), 53/127 3P/3PA (41.7%)  
  
**600+ FGA**  
5\. Glen Rice (1988-89) - 264/437 2P/2PA **(60.4%)**, **99/192 3P/3PA (51.6%!)**

**Jakubick** was the only **junior** above(all others **seniors**).

Lastly, one more set of Martinelli **senior scoring** numbers:

- 6.8 2P/G
- 1.4 3P/G
- 6.7 FTA/G

**Five** DI men's players besides **Martinelli** and **Hopson** (8.2/2.0/8.0) above, since **1947-48**, put up **6.5+** 2P/G, **1+** 3P/G, **6.5+** FTA/G in a **single** season (min. 33 GP):

### Note #053: Nate Ament (Simmering Suitors)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-053-nate-ament-simmering-suitors/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T01:33:56.000Z
University of **Tennessee** one-and-done **Nate Ament** heard his name called early at the **2026 NBA Draft**, going lotto (**13th** overall).

In **2025-26**, the **6'10"** Ament meant business. Let's start with the **freshman**'s **per game** performance (across **35** GP, **29.7** MP/G):

- 16.7 PPG
- 6.3 RPG
- 2.3 APG
- 1.0 SPG
- 0.6 BPG

Since **1947-48**, **two freshmen** besides **Ament** averaged at least **16.5** PPG, **6** RPG, **2** APG, **1** SPG, **0.5** BPG in **30 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):  
  
1\. Jabari Smith (2021-22) - 16.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 1.0 BPG (34 GP, **28.8** MP/G)  
2\. [**Zion Williamson**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/zion-williamson/) (2018-19) - **22.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.1 APG, 2.1 SPG, 1.8 BPG** (33 GP, 30.0 MP/G)

If we **remove** the **GP** floor, we find **one** more **freshman**:

**Dan Majerle** (1984-85) - 18.6 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.8 BPG (**12 GP**, 30.0 MP/G)

If we remove the **MP/G** criteria, just **23 freshmen** (including the **four** above)over the last **78+** years reached those **per game** levels.

**Seven**, including **Ament**, sustained it over **35+ GP**. The other **six**:  
  
**16.5-18 PPG**  
1\. Paolo Banchero (2021-22) - 17.2 PPG, **7.8 RPG, 3.2 APG**, 1.1 SPG, 0.9 BPG (39 GP, 33.0 MP/G)  
2\. Brandon Ingram (2015-16) - 17.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, **1.4 BPG** (36 GP, 34.6 MP/G)  
3\. Donte Greene (2007-08) - 17.7 PPG, 7.2 PRG, 2.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, **1.6 BPG** (35 GP, **35.8** MP/G)  
  
**18-20 PPG**  
4\. [**Cooper Flagg**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/cooper-flagg/) (2024-25) - **19.2 PPG**, 7.5 RPG, **4.2 APG, 1.4 SPG, 1.4 BPG** (37 GP, 30.7 MP/G)  
5\. Carmelo Anthony (2002-03) - **22.2 PPG, 10.0 RPG**, 2.2 APG, **1.6 SPG**, 0.9 BPG (35 GP, **36.4** MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
6\. [**Cameron Boozer**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2025-26) - **22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.4 SPG**, 0.6 BPG (38 GP, 33.4 MP/G)

**Banchero**, **Ingram**, **Flagg**, and **Boozer** (and **Williamson** above) all accomplished the above playing for **Duke**! 

**Greene** and **Anthony** played for the same university (**Syracuse**) too!

Okay, let's remove the **GP** parameter again: **one freshman** in **2025-26**,besides **Ament** and **Boozer**, met the above **per game** benchmarks:

[**Caleb Wilson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/caleb-wilson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 19.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.4 BPG (24 GP, 31.3 MP/G)

**Boozer** (3rd overall), **Wilson** (4th), and **Ament** (13th) were all **2026 Draft** lottery picks.

Lastly, let's quickly look at these categories for **Ament** through the **per 40** scope:  
  
**22.5** PTS/40 MP, **8.5** TRB/40 MP, **3.2** AST/40 MP, **1.3** STL/40 MP, **0.8** BLK/40 MP

**Five freshmen** since **1947-48**, besides **Ament**, **Flagg**, and **Boozer**, notched **22.5+** PTS/40 MP, **8.5+** TRB/40 MP, **3+** AST/40 MP, **1+** STL/40 MP, **0.5+** BLK/40 MP. They were (stats below are **per 40**):

**22.5-24 PTS**  
1\. Jerry Stackhouse (1993-94) - 23.3 PTS, **9.6 TRB**, 3.8 AST, **2.3 STL**, 0.9 BLK (35 GP, 21.0 MP/G)  
2\. Nick Muszynski (2018-19) - 23.6 PTS, **9.3 TRB, 4.4 AST**, 1.0 STL, **3.5 BLK!** (32 GP, 24.9 MP/G)  
  
**24-25 PTS**  
3\. Corey Maggette (1998-99) - **24.0 PTS**, 8.7 TRB, 3.4 AST, 1.7 STL, 0.9 BLK (39 GP, 17.7 MP/G)  
4\. Madden Collins (2025-26) - **24.5 PTS**, 8.8 TRB, 3.6 AST, **2.3 STL**, 0.8 BLK (32 GP, 21.8 MP/G)  
  
**25+ PTS**  
5\. R.J. Barrett (2018-19) - **25.7 PTS**, 8.6 TRB, **4.9 AST**, 1.0 STL, 0.5 BLK (38 GP, 35.3 MP/G)

**Two** more **Duke** Blue Devils (**Maggette** and **Barrett**)!

*It was a *Banchero* bash in* [*Note #036*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-036-koa-peat-frontcourt-enforcer/) *on 2026 Draft declarant Koa Peat.*

**Anthony* painted the town Orange in* [*Note #043*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-043-darryn-peterson-dare-to-dream/) *(Darryn Peterson) and* [*Note #047*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-047-brayden-burries-backcourt-anchor/) *(Brayden Burries), two more freshmen Draft big boarders.*

**Barrett* broke through in* [*Note #003*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) *on 2026 lottery pick Keaton Wagler.*

### Note #052: Jayden Quaintance (Draft Question Mark)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-052-jayden-quaintance-nba-draft-question-mark/
Last updated: 2026-06-26T13:03:20.000Z
A compelling **2026 NBA Draft** prospect (selected **20th** overall), **Jayden Quaintance** decided to go pro after a shortened **sophomore** season with Kentucky.

In **2025-26**, his **first** season with the Wildcats, the **6'9"** Quaintance (with **7'5"+** wingspan) appeared in just **four** games due to injury.

He began his career the year prior **(2024-25)** at **Arizona State**, and as a **freshman** Sun Devil posted (in 24 GP, 29.5 MP/G):

- 9.4 PPG
- 7.9 RPG
- 1.5 APG
- 1.1 SPG
- 2.6 BPG

Since **1947-48**, only **one freshman** besides **Quaintance** has averaged **9+** PPG, **7.5+** RPG, **1.5+** APG, **1+** SPG, **2.5+** BPG in **29.5 MP/G** or **less**:

[**Shaquille O'Neal**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/shaquille-oneal/) (1989-90) - 13.9 PPG, 12.0 RPG, 1.9 APG, 1.2 SPG, 3.6 BPG (32 GP, 28.2 MP/G)

If we remove the **MP/G** ceiling, just **five** more **freshman** met those **per game** benchmarks in the last **\~78** years:

**9-11 PPG**  
1\. Nerlens Noel (2012-13) - 10.5 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 1.6 APG, **2.1 SPG, 4.4 BPG!** (24 GP, 31.9 MP/G)  
  
**11-16 PPG**  
2\. Haminn Quaintance (2003-04) - 14.3 PPG, 8.8 RPG, **2.7 APG, 1.8 SPG**, 3.0 BPG (28 GP, 32.1 MP/G)  
3\. Chris Webber (1991-92) - 15.5 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.6 SPG, 2.5 BPG (34 GP, 32.0 MP/G)  
  
**16+ PPG**  
4\. Keith Lee (1981-82) - **18.3 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 2.3 APG**, 1.0 SPG, **3.5 BPG** (29 GP, 35.9 MP/G)  
5\. Tunji Awojobi (1993-94) - **18.9 PPG, 10.5 RPG**, 1.5 APG, 1.4 SPG, 3.1 BPG (27 GP, 32.6 MP/G)  
  
Like father, like son!?

Yes, **Haminn** Quaintance is **Jayden** Quaintance's **dad**!! 

The **6'8"** Haminn hit those baselines while at **Jacksonville** University.

Okay, let's reinstate the **29.5 MP/G** threshold. **One sophomore**,since **1947-48**, has reached the above **per game** numbers with that constraint:

**Michael Southall** (2002-03) - 12.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 2.5 BPG (27 GP, 28.2 MP/G)

And only **one senior** qualified:

**Oliver Miller** (1991-92) - 13.5 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 2.6 BPG (34 GP, 28.1 MP/G)

**Miller** also met this criteria in his **junior** season! Here are those stats, along with the **three** other juniors to qualify:

**9-12 PPG**  
1\. Larry Harrison (1977-78) - 11.9 PPG, 7.6 RPG, **2.7 APG**, 1.4 SPG, 2.8 BPG (29 GP, 28.7 MP/G)  
  
**12-15 PPG**  
2\. Erik Nelson (1996-97) - 14.9 PPG, **8.6 RPG**, 1.5 APG, **1.9 SPG, 3.3 BPG** (**22 GP**, 28.2 MP/G)  
  
**15+ PPG**  
3\. Oliver Miller (1990-91) - **15.7 PPG**, 7.7 RPG, **2.7 APG**, 1.4 SPG, 2.9 BPG (38 GP, **24.5 MP/G!**)  
4\. Brandon Clarke (2018-19) - **16.9 PPG, 8.6 RPG**, 1.9 APG, 1.2 SPG, **3.2 BPG** (37 GP, 28.1 MP/G)

For fun, let's raise the **MP/G** ceiling *slightly* to **30 MP/G**. **Four** more players enter the arena:   
  
**9-16 PPG**  
1\. Neemias Queta (2020-21) - 14.9 PPG, **10.1 RPG, 2.7 APG**, 1.1 SPG, **3.3 BPG** (29 GP, 30.0 MP/G)  
2\. Patrick Sullivan (2009-10) - 15.7 PPG, 8.7 RPG, **2.1 APG**, 1.0 SPG, **3.3 BPG** (31 GP, 29.9 MP/G)  
  
**16-20 PPG**  
3\. Javon McCrea (2012-13) - **18.0 PPG**, 7.9 RPG, 2.0 APG, **1.3 SPG**, 2.6 BPG (34 GP, 30.0 MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
4\. Kurt Thomas (1993-94) - **20.7 PPG, 9.7 RPG**, 1.9 APG, 1.0 SPG, 2.6 BPG (27 GP, 29.8 MP/G)

**Sullivan** was the only **senior** (the other **three** were **juniors**).

### Note #051: Morez Johnson Jr. (Big Ten-Bred)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-051-morez-johnson-jr-big-ten-bred/
Last updated: 2026-07-10T02:33:01.000Z
Following a National Championship run with Michigan in 2025-26 **Morez Johnson Jr.** declared for the **2026 NBA Draft**, going **9th** overall to Dallas (where he will play for his Michigan, and new Mavericks, head coach **Dusty May**!)

Johnson Jr., a **sophomore** in **2025-26**, played his **freshman** year (2024-25) at his home state's flagship university, **Illinois**. More on that later...

In **2025-26**, his **6' 9"** height and **7'3"+** wingspan was paired with the **7'3"**, UCLA transfer [**Aday Mara**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-022-aday-mara-playmaking-unicorn/) (also a 2026 NBA Draft declarant, who was picked **12th**) to establish a formidable interior for the Wolverines. 

We'll also include the **6' 9"**, UAB transfer [**Yaxel Lendeborg**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/yaxel-lendeborg/) (a 2026 Draft entrant too, who was selected **11th**!), who plays all over the court, as part of that UM Department of the Interior.

Anyway, **Johnson Jr**.'s impact is justified. First, the **per game** (across **40** GP, **25.1** MP/G):

- 13.1 PPG
- 7.3 RPG
- 1.2 APG
- 1.1 BPG
- 0.7 SPG

Since **1947-48**, only **two** NCAA Division I **sophomores** besides **Johnson Jr.** averaged **13+** PPG, **7+** RPG, **1+** APG, **1+** BPG, **0.5+** SPG in **25.5 MP/G** or **less** (min. 30 GP):  
  
1\. Donovan Clingan (2023-24) - 13.0 PPG, **7.4 RPG**, 1.5 APG, **2.5 BPG**, 0.5 SPG (35 GP, **22.5** MP/G)  
2\. Joakim Noah (2005-06) - **14.2 PPG**, 7.1 RPG, **2.1 APG**, 2.4 BPG, **1.4 SPG** (39 GP, 24.9 MP/G)

FWIW, both **Clingan** (UConn) and **Noah** (Florida), like Johnson Jr., helped lead their schools to National Championships in their **sophomore** seasons.

For fun, the **two freshmen** since **1947-48** to meet the criteria above:  
  
1\. DeMarcus Cousins (2009-10) - 15.1 PPG, **9.8 RPG**, 1.0 APG, **1.8 BPG, 1.0 SPG** (38 GP, **23.5** MP/G)  
2\. Vernon Carey Jr. (2019-20) - **17.8 PPG**, 8.8 RPG, 1.0 APG, 1.6 BPG, 0.7 SPG (31 GP, 24.9 MP/G)

In **2025-26**, only **one** player besides **Johnson Jr.** met the criteria - **senior**:

**Jayden Brewer** \- 13.3 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.1 APG, 1.0 BPG, 0.8 SPG (31 GP, 25.5 MP/G)

If we remove **MP/G** and **GP** completely, **four** other **sophomores** in **2025-26** besides Johnson Jr. met the remaining **per game** qualifiers:  
  
1\. Torey Alston - 13.1 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1.1 BPG, 0.5 SPG (32 GP, **29.3** MP/G)  
2\. [**Flory Bidunga**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-002-flory-bidunga-historical-stat-line-efficiency/) \- 13.3 PPG, **9.0 RPG**, 1.5 APG, **2.6 BPG**, 0.7 SPG (35 GP, **31.5** MP/G)  
3\. Mohammad Habhab - **14.2 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.4 BPG**, 0.9 SPG (30 GP, **36.0** MP/G)  
4\. Hank Alvey - **15.2 PPG**, 7.1 RPG, **2.1 APG, 1.8 BPG, 1.1 SPG** (35 GP, **30.9** MP/G)

**Cling Kong* has scaled three Notes thus far:*  
[*#009*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-009-najai-hines-freshman-statistical-analysis/) *(Najai Hines) /* [*#011*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-011-oswin-erhunmwunse-historical-center-efficiency/) *(Oswin Erhunmwunse) /* [*#016*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/) *(Eric Reibe)*

- 112/325 3P/3PA **(34.5 3P%)**
- 124/149 FT/FTA **(83.2 FT%)**

Only **two** other NCAA DI men's players besides **Conwell**, since **1980-81**, shot **53+** 2P% (min. 165 2PA), **34.5+** 3P% (min. 325 3PA), **83+** FT% (min. 145 FTA) in a **single** season:  
  
1\. [**Stephen Curry**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/stephen-curry/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2007-08) - 155/287 2P/2PA (54.0%), 162/369 3P/3PA **(43.9%)**, 135/151 FT/FTA **(89.4%)**  
2\. Chris Clemons (2018-19) - **165/290 2P/2PA** **(56.9%)**, **139/389 3P/3PA** (35.7%), **246/283 FT/FTA!** (86.9%)  
  
**Curry** was a **sophomore** in the season above, **Clemons** a **senior**.

If we remove **FT**s entirely, there are **four** additional instances of a player hitting the **2P** and **3P** baselines:  
  
**500-600 FGA**  
1\. Randy Rutherford (1994-95) - 92/172 2P/2PA (53.5%), **146/349 3P/3PA** **(41.8%)**  
2\. Fletcher Magee (2017-18) - 105/186 2P/2PA **(56.5%)**, 148/337 3P/3PA **(43.9%)** 
  
**600+ FGA**  
3\. Darius McGhee (2021-22) - **134/241 2P/2PA (55.6%)**, **142/364 3P/3PA** (39.0%)  
4\. Chris Clemons (2016-17) - **183/341 2P/2PA** (53.7%), 118/333 3P/3PA (35.4%)

Yes, **Clemons** met the Conwell-adjacent **2P** and **3P** marks in **two** separate seasons.

🏀 🏀 This one just had to be a Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note (at minimum)!  
  
Anyway, onto ****Conwell**'s 2023-24 sicko ****sophomore** season (Indiana St.).  
  
His ****per game** production:  
  
****16.6** PPG, ****5.8** RPG, ****2.5** APG, ****1.1** SPG (38 GP, 33.9 MP/G)  
  
The ****four sophomores** in ****2023-24** besides Conwell to notch ****16.5+** PPG, ****5.5+** RPG, ****2.5+** APG, **1+** SPG:  
  
1\. Caden Pierce - 16.6 PPG, ****9.2 RPG**, 3.2 APG, 1.2 SPG (29 GP, 32.8 MP/G)  
2\. Jordan Derkack - 17.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG, ****3.9 APG, 2.1 SPG** (32 GP, 33.0 MP/G)

4\. Dion Brown - ****19.0 PPG, 7.6 RPG**, 2.6 APG, 1.3 SPG (32 GP, 32.2 MP/G)

95/155 2P/2PA ****(61.3 2P%)**, 109/268 3P/3PA ****(40.7 3P%)**, 112/131 FT/FTA ****(85.5 FT%)**  
  
****Conwell** is the ****only** NCAA DI men's player, since ****1980-81**, to shoot ****61+** 2P% (min. 155 2PA), ****40.5+** 3P% (min. 265 3PA), and ****85.5+** FT% (min. 130 FTA) in a ****single** season!  
  
If we remove ****FT**s completely, only ****one** other player has met those ****2P** and ****3P** thresholds besides ****Conwell**:  
  
****Shan Foster** (2007-08) - 108/177 2P/2PA (61.0%), 134/286 3P/3PA (46.9%)  
  
****Foster** was a ****senior** in the season above.  
  
And if we ****add** ****FT**s back in and ****remove 2s**, only ****one** other ****sophomore** since ****1980-81** met the ****3P** and ****FT** thresholds (guess who):  
  
[Stephen Curry](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/stephen-curry/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2007-08) - 162/369 3P/3PA (43.9%), 135/151 FT/FTA (89.4%)  
  
Finally, if we ****remove 3s** and ****re-add** ****2s**, ****two** different ****sophomores** (since ****1953-54**) met the ****2P** and ****FT** criteria besides ****Conwell**:  
  
1\. Jalen Brunson (2016-17) - 141/227 2P/2PA (62.1%), 120/137 FT/FTA ****(87.6%)**  
2\. Keith Van Horn (1994-95) - ****187/298 2P/2PA** ****(62.8%)**, ****143/167 FT/FTA** (85.6%)

⛹️‍♂️ The "College Grand Slam" had to be a ****Quadruple-Double** Note!  
  
Anyway, we'll finish up with ****Conwell**'s ****freshman** 2022-23 season (South Florida).  
  
A similar sampling of ****per game** data:  
  
****5.1** PPG, ****1.9** RPG, ****1.9** APG, ****0.9** SPG (32 GP, ****18.4** MP/G)  
  
That season, there were ****two** ****freshmen** besides ****Conwell** to average ****5+** PPG, ****1.5+** RPG, ****1.5+** APG, ****0.5+** SPG in ****19 MP/G** or ****less** (min. 30 GP):  
  
1\. Moe Odum - 5.6 PPG, 1.7 RPG, ****3.5 APG**, 0.8 SPG (31 GP, ****15.9 MP/G**)  
2\. Donovan Dent - 5.6 PPG, ****2.0 RPG**, 2.3 APG, 0.9 SPG (34 GP, 18.5 MP/G)  
  
Let's look at those categories through the ****per 40** lens:  
  
****Conwell** (2022-23) - ****11.0** PTS/40 MP, ****4.1** TRB/40 MP, ****4.1** AST/40 MP, ****1.9** STL/40 MP  
  
The ****six freshmen** besides ****Conwell** and ****Dent** (12.2, 4.4, 5.0, 1.9) in ****2022-23** to hit ****11+** PTS/40 MP, ****4+** TRB/40 MP, ****4+** AST/40 MP, ****1.5+** STL/40 MP (min. ****32** GP) are listed below. All stats shown are ****per 40**:  
  
****11-13 PTS/40 MP**  
1\. Kylan Boswell - 12.1 PTS, 4.1 TRB, 4.2 AST, 2.0 STL (35 GP, 15.2 MP/G)

4\. Cason Wallace - 14.6 PTS, 4.6 TRB, ****5.3 AST**, 2.4 STL (32 GP, 32.2 MP/G)  
5\. Anthony Black - 14.7 PTS, ****5.8 TRB**, 4.5 AST, 2.4 STL (36 GP, 34.9 MP/G)  
  
****15+ PTS/40 MP**  
6\. Arturo Dean - ****16.0 PTS, 5.6 TRB, 5.1 AST, 3.4 STL** (32 GP, 29.7 MP/G)  
  
****Black** was the ****6th** overall pick in **2023**, while **Wallace** was selected **10th**.

### Note #049: Labaron Philon (Freshman & Sophomore Study)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-049-labaron-philon-freshman-sophomore-study/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T02:40:14.000Z
Alabama guard **Labaron Philon** entered the **2026 NBA Draft**, and was chosen **22nd** overall,after his **sophomore** 2025-26 season with the SEC's Crimson Tide.

In **2025-26**,Philon was a photon cannon with **22.0 PPG** and **5.0 APG** in 33 GP (30.9 MP/G).

Since **1947-48**, just **five** NCAA Division I **sophomores** besides **Philon** averaged **22+** PPG and **5+** APG:  
  
**22-24 PPG**  
1\. Skip Brown (1974-75) - 22.7 PPG, **6.8 APG** (26 GP, **37.6 MP/G**)  
  
**24-25 PPG**  
2\. Bimbo Coles (1987-88) - 24.2 PPG, 5.9 APG (29 GP, 34.1 MP/G)  
3\. [**Ja Morant**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/ja-morant/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2018-19) - 24.5 PPG, **10.0 APG!** (33 GP, **36.6 MP/G**)  
4\. Rodney Stuckey (2006-07) - 24.6 PPG, 5.5 APG (29 GP, 33.3 MP/G)  
  
**25+ PPG**  
5\. [**Kenny Anderson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/kenny-anderson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1990-91) - **25.9 PPG**, 5.6 APG (30 GP, **38.9 MP/G**)

For fun I, the **four freshmen** since **1947-48** to hit those **PPG** and **APG** thresholds:  
  
1\. [**Markelle Fultz**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/markelle-fultz/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2016-17) - 23.2 PPG, 5.9 APG (25 GP, 35.7 MP/G)  
2\. [**Darius Acuff Jr.**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2025-26) - 23.5 PPG, **6.4 APG** (36 GP, 35.1 MP/G)  
3\. R.J. Cole (2017-18) - 23.7 PPG, 6.1 APG (33 GP, **37.9 MP/G**)  
4\. [**Trae Young**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/trae-young/) (2017-18) - **27.4 PPG, 8.7 APG** (32 GP, 35.4 MP/G)

The **only** player to meet the **per game** measureables above in **31 MP/G** or **less** (min. 25 GP), besides **Philon**, is:

**Curtis McCants** (1995-96) - 22.0 PPG, 8.3 APG (27 GP, 31.0 MP/G)

**McCants** was a **junior** in the season above.

**Stuckey* is here to stay:*  
[*Note #026*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-026-nolan-minessale-marquette-made/) *(Nolan Minessale) /* [*Note #036*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-036-koa-peat-frontcourt-enforcer/) *(Koa Peat) /* [*Note #040*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-040-ebuka-okorie-nashua-natural/) *(Ebuka Okorie)*

**Cole* caught fire in* [*Note #003*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) *on Keaton Wagler, and the* [*Okorie Note*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-040-ebuka-okorie-nashua-natural/)*.*

Okay, Philon's **sophomore shooting** on deck:

- 162/282 2P/2PA **(57.4 2P%)**
- 81/203 3P/3PA **(39.9 3P%)**
- 158/198 FT/FTA **(79.8 FT%)**

**Philon** is the **only** NCAA DI men's player, since **1980-81**, to shoot **57+** 2P% (min. 280 2PA), **39.5+** 3P% (min. 200 3PA), and **79.5+** FT% (min. 195 FTA) in a **single** season!

If we remove **3P** entirely, only **one** **sophomore** besides Philon,since **1953-54**,has reached the above **2P** and **FT** benchmarks in a **single** season:

**Chris Mullin** (1982-83) - 228/395 2P/2PA (57.7%), 173/197 FT/FTA (87.8%)

Yep. Now, let's swap the **FT** criteria for the **3P**: just **two** others (since **1980-81**) met the above **2P** and **3P** qualifiers in a **single** season:  
  
1\. [**Kerry Kittles**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/kerry-kittles/) (1994-95) - 178/295 2P/2PA **(60.3%)**, 86/209 3P/3PA **(41.1%)**  
2\. Jalen Brunson (2017-18) - **184/307 2P/2PA** (59.9%), **86/211 3P/3PA** (40.8%)

**Kittles** and **Brunson** were both **juniors** in the seasons listed above.

Alright, another swap incoming: let's flip **2P** for **FT**.

There are **three** **sophomores** since **1980-81**, besides **Philon**, to eclipse the **3P** and **FT** baselines above:  
  
1\. Nik Stauskas (2013-14) - 92/208 3P/3PA **(44.2%)**, 168/204 FT/FTA (82.4%)  
2\. Grayson Allen (2015-16) - 90/216 3P/3PA (41.7%), **211/252 FT/FTA** (83.7%)  
3\. Allan Houston (1990-91) - **99/231 3P/3PA** (42.9%), 177/205 FT/FTA **(86.3%)**  
  
For fun II, those **three freshmen** to hit the **3P** and **FT** numbs:  
  
1\. Kevin Durant (2006-07) - 82/203 3P/3PA (40.4%), **209/256 FT/FTA** **(81.6%)**  
2\. [Darius Acuff Jr.](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2025-26) - 91/207 3P/3PA **(44.0%)**, 178/220 FT/FTA (80.9%)  
3\. [**Keaton Wagler**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/)(2025-26) - **87/219 3P/3PA** (39.7%), 172/216 FT/FTA (79.6%)  
  
**Acuff Jr.** (7th overall) and **Wagler** (5th)were both selected in the **2026 NBA Draft** lottery pick.

### Note #048: Rafael Castro (Versatile Four/Five)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-048-rafael-castro-versatile-four-five/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T04:03:37.000Z
Once Providence Friar, then George Washington Revolutionary **Rafael Castro** was not selected in the **2026 NBA Draft** following his strong **senior** season in Foggy Bottom; however, he immediately signed a two-way deal with Milwaukee.

In **2025-26**, his **second** campaign with GW (after **two** years (2022-24) in Rhode Island's capital), the **6'10"** Castro was an astro across **29** GP (**27.3** MP/G):

- 15.3 PPG
- 9.1 RPG
- 1.7 APG
- 1.8 SPG
- 1.7 BPG

Since **1947-48**, Castro is the **only** NCAA Division I men's player to average **15+** PPG, **9+** RPG, **1.5+** APG, **1.5+** SPG, **1.5+** BPG in **27.5 MP/G** or **less**!

If we remove **BPG**,there is just **one** other player besides **Castro** to meet the other **four** per game criteria in **27.5** MP/G or **less**:

**Heder Ambroise** (1987-88) - 15.1 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 2.2 APG, 2.1 SPG (29 GP, 27.5 MP/G)

Now, if we: 1\. remove the **MP/G** ceiling, 2\. reinstate **BPG**,and 3\. add **62.5+ FG%** as a baseline (**Castro** shot **62.7%** on **252** FGA in 2025-26), **three** others join the mix:  
  
1\. Bo Outlaw (1992-93) - 16.2 PPG, **10.0 RPG, 3.3 APG, 2.3 SPG, 3.8 BPG**, 65.8 FG% (196/298) - 30 GP, **35.2 MP/G**  
2\. N'Faly Dante (2023-24) - 17.0 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 1.6 APG, 1.7 SPG, 1.9 BPG, **69.5 FG%** (153/220) - **22 GP**, **31.5 MP/G**  
3\. Shaquille O'Neal (1990-91) - **27.6 PPG, 14.7 RPG**, 1.6 APG, 1.5 SPG, **5.0 BPG** (!!), 62.8 FG% **(312/497)** \- 28 GP, **31.5 MP/G**

Let's play around and swap out **FG%** for **5+** **2P/G** (Castro - **5.4**) and **6.5+** **FTA/G** (Castro - **6.6**).

**Eight** times, since **1953-54**, a **senior** (including **Castro**) met those **seven** per gamethresholds (min. 29 GP):

**15-18 PPG**  
1\. Marqus Blakely (2009-10) - 17.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, **3.7 APG, 2.4 SPG**, 1.9 BPG, 5.7 2P/G, **8.7 FTA/G** (35 GP, 33.7 MP/G)  
2\. Derrick Coleman (1989-90) - 17.9 PPG, **12.1 RPG**, 2.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.0 BPG, 5.4 2P/G, **8.0 FTA/G** (33 GP, 35.3 MP/G)  
  
**18-20 PPG**  
3\. Javon McCrea (2013-14) - 18.5 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.5 SPG, **2.2 BPG**, 6.9 2P/G, 6.8 FTA/G (29 GP, 32.3 MP/G)  
4\. Sam Clancy (2001-02) - 19.1 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.5 BPG, 7.3 2P/G, 6.9 FTA/G (32 GP, **37.6 MP/G**)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
5\. Clarence Weatherspoon (1991-92) - **22.3 PPG, 10.5 RPG**, 1.6 APG, 1.6 SPG, 2.7 BPG, **7.7 2P/G**, 6.7 FTA/G (29 GP, **36.4 MP/G**)  
6\. Rashawn Thomas (2016-17) - **22.5 PPG**, 9.0 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.6 SPG, 2.0 BPG, **7.5 2P/G, 8.8 FTA/G** (34 GP, 33.7 MP/G)  
7\. [**Lionel Simmons**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/lionel-simmons/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1989-90) - **26.5 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, 1.9 SPG**, 2.0 BPG, **9.5 2P/G!**, 6.9 FTA/G (32 GP, **38.1 MP/G**)

FWIW, all players above averaged at least **five** more **minutes** per game than Castro.

If we expand to include **non-seniors** who met those marks in a **single** season, the list grows from **8** to **17**: and with that expansion, **Blakely** AND **Simmons** show up **two** more times, **each!** (as **juniors** and **sophomores**).

And whilebothaccomplished those season-long **per game** feats **thrice**, **no** other player did it **twice**.

Lastly, let's look deeper into the **2P** and **FT** shooting. **Castro** generated:

- 158/252 2P/2PA **(62.7 2P%)**
- 127/192 FT/FTA **(66.1 FT%)**

**Three** others in **2025-26** shot **62.5%+** from **2** (min. 250 2PA) and **66%+** from the **FT** line (min. 190 FTA):   
  
1\. Terry Anderson - 174/276 2P/2PA (63.0%), **170/224 FT/FTA** **(75.9%)**  
2\. Rashaud Marshall - 186/284 2P/2PA **(65.5%)**, 132/196 FT/FTA (67.3%)  
3\. Izaiyah Nelson - **187/297 2P/2PA** (63.0%), 145/200 FT/FTA (72.5%)  
  
**Marshall** is the **junior** of the bunch (others: **seniors**, including **Nelson**, who was a **second round** draft pick in **2026**.)

Of note, **Castro** did not attempt a **3-pointer** in **2025-26**. In his career, he is **1/8** from long-distance **(12.5 3P%)**.

### Note #047: Brayden Burries (Backcourt Anchor)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-047-brayden-burries-backcourt-anchor/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T01:10:39.000Z
Arizona guard **Brayden Burries** (along with fellow **freshman** teammate [**Koa Peat**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-036-koa-peat-frontcourt-enforcer/)) declared for the **2026 NBA Draft** after one year in Tucson, going **10th** overall to Milwaukee.

In **2025-26** for the Wildcats, Burries boiled with the following **per game** stats (across **39** GP**, 29.8** MP/G):

- 16.1 PPG
- 4.9 RPG
- 2.4 APG
- 1.5 SPG

Since **1947-48**, there have been **55** instances of an NCAA Division I men's player (including **Burries**) averaging at least **16** PPG, **4.5** RPG, **2** APG, **1.5** SPG in **30 MP/G** or **less**. **Three** were by **freshmen** \-Burries, and:  
  
1\. Tyreke Evans (2008-09) - 17.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG, **3.9 APG**, 2.1 SPG (37 GP, 29.0 MP/G)  
2\. Zion Williamson (2018-19) - **22.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG**, 2.1 APG, 2.1 SPG (33 GP, 30.0 MP/G)  
  
**Evans** was the **4th** overall pick in the **2009** NBA Draft. **Williamson** went **No. 1** overall in **2019**.

Of the **55** occurrences referenced above, **seven** (besides **Burries** and **Evans**  seasons) were sustained over **35+** GP:  
  
**16-17 PPG**  
1\. Christian Laettner (1989-90) - 16.3 PPG, **9.6 RPG**, 2.2 APG, 1.6 SPG (38 GP, 29.9 MP/G)  
2\. Paul Pierce (1996-97) - 16.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.7 SPG (36 GP, 28.1 MP/G)  
3\. DeMarre Carroll (2008-09) - 16.6 PPG, **7.2 RPG**, 2.2 APG, 1.6 SPG (38 GP, 28.0 MP/G)  
4\. Rick Fox (1990-91) - 16.9 PPG, 6.6 RPG, **3.7 APG**, 2.0 SPG (35 GP, 28.5 MP/G)  
  
**17-20 PPG**  
5\. Todd Day (1989-90) - 19.5 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 2.5 APG, **2.3 SPG** (35 GP, 28.8 MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
6\. Courtney Lee (2007-08) - **20.4 PPG**, 4.9 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.8 SPG (36 GP, 30.0 MP/G)  
7\. Todd Day (1990-91) - **20.7 PPG**, 5.3 RPG, **2.9 APG, 2.2 SPG** (38 GP, 29.5 MP/G)

Yes, **Day** did it **twice** (his **sophomore** and **junior** seasons at **Arkansas**). 

Day played in **22** GP (32.2 MP/G) as a **senior** in **1991-92**, and was selected **8th** overall in the **1992** NBA Draft.

**16-17 PPG**  
1\. Tony Wroten (2011-12) - 16.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 3.7 APG, **1.9 SPG** (35 GP, 30.3 MP/G)

### Note #046: Quadir Copeland (Leader of the Pack)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-046-quadir-copeland-leader-of-the-pack/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T04:05:36.000Z
Former Syracuse (two seasons), McNeese State (one), and North Carolina State (one) guard **Quadir Copeland** declared for the **2026 NBA Draft**; though unselected, he penned a two-way deal with Houston.

In **2025-26** with the Wolfpack, the **6'6"** Copeland registered the following **per game** and **shooting** numbers (34 GP, 28.9 MP/G):

- 13.9 PPG
- 3.6 RPG
- 6.5 APG
- 1.8 SPG
- 155/314 FG/FGA (49.4 FG%)
- 141/182 FT/FTA (77.5 FT%)

Since **1980-81**, there have only been **three** NCAA Division I men's players, besides **Copeland**, to average at least **13.5** PPG, **3.5** RPG, **6.5** APG, **1.5** SPG while shooting **49.0+** FG% (min. 310 FGA) and **77.5+** FT% (min. 180 FTA) in a **single** season:  
  
1\. Negele Knight (1989-90) - 22.8 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 6.8 APG, 1.7 SPG, 234/465 FG/FGA (50.3%), 192/240 FT/FTA (80.0%)  
2\. [**Ja Morant**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/ja-morant/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2018-19) - 24.5 PPG, **5.7 RPG,** **10.0 APG (!), 1.8 SPG**, 265/531 FG/FGA (49.9%), **221/272 FT/FTA** (81.3%)  
3\. Scott Skiles (1985-86) - **27.4 PPG**, 4.4 RPG, 6.5 APG, 1.7 SPG, **331/598 FG/FGA (55.4%)**, 188/209 FTA **(90.0 FT%)** 
  
**Knight** and **Skiles** were **seniors** in their respective seasons above. **Morant** was a **sophomore** in his.

Now, let's remove **FT**s entirely and break down **FG**s into **2s** and **3s**: Copeland was 132/256 2P/2PA **(51.6%)** and 23/58 3P/3PA **(39.7%)** in **2025-26**.

Since **1980-81**, only **five** players (again including **Copeland**) have averaged **13.5+** PPG, **6.5+** APG, **3.5+** RPG, **1.5+** SPG while shooting **51.5+** 2P% (min. 255 2PA) and **39.5+** 3P% (min. 55 3PA) in a **single** season. The other **four**:  
  
1\. Jonah Radebaugh (2019-20) - 16.5 PPG, **6.3 RPG**, 6.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 143/277 2P/2PA (51.6%), 51/115 3P/3PA **(44.3%)**  
2\. Doug Overton (1989-90) - 17.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 6.6 APG, **2.7 SPG**, 147/263 2P/2PA **(55.9%)**, 54/124 3P/3PA **(43.5%)**  
3\. [**Kenny Anderson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/kenny-anderson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1989-90) - **20.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 8.1 APG**, 2.3 SPG, **235/432 2P/2PA** **(54.4%)**, 48/117 3P/3PA (41.0%)  
4\. Terrell Lowery (1990-91) - **28.5 PPG!**, 4.5 RPG, **9.1 APG, 2.5 SPG, 195/364 2P/2PA** (53.6%), **103/257 3P/3PA** (40.1%)

If we strip **2P** and **3P** shooting completely, there were **three** players besides **Copeland** to average **13.5+** PPG, **6.5+** APG, **3.5+** RPG, **1.5+** SPG in **2025-26**:  
  
1\. Braden Smith - 14.3 PPG, 3.5 RPG, **8.8 APG,** **1.7 SPG**   
2\. Joel Foxwell - 15.6 PPG, **4.3 RPG**, 6.5 APG, 1.5 SPG  
3\. [**Christian Anderson**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) \- **18.5 PPG**,3.6 RPG, **7.4 APG**, 1.5 SPG  
  
**Smith** (the **38th** overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft)was a **senior**, and **Foxwell** a **freshman**. **Anderson** (the **19th** overall pick 2026) was a **sophomore**.

Okay, Copeland's pure **shotmaking**: only **two** players in **2025-26** besides him met the **2P/3P/FT** baselines established above:  
  
1\. Labaron Philon - 162/282 2P/2PA **(57.4%)**, **81/203 3P/3PA** (39.9%), 158/198 FT/FTA (79.8%)  
2\. Nick Martinelli - **223/418 2P/2PA** **(53.3%)**, 45/108 3P/3PA **(41.7%)**, **178/220 FT/FTA** **(80.9%)** 
  
**Philon** (22nd overall) was a **sophomore**, **Martinelli** (55th) a **senior**. Both, like Copeland, are **2026 NBA Draft** entrants.

### Note #045: Otega Oweh (Junior & Senior Analysis)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-045-otega-oweh-junior-senior-analysis/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T02:14:38.000Z
Oklahoma-turned-Kentucky guard **Otega Oweh** was selected **41st** overall in the **2026 NBA Draft**,coming off a mega **senior** season in Lexington.

In **2025-26**, his **second** year as a **Wildcat** (following **two** with the **Sooners**), Oweh wowed in 36 GP (32.8 MP/G) with:

- 18.6 PPG
- 4.8 RPG
- 2.7 APG
- 1.8 SPG

That season, there were just **nine** NCAA Division I men's players (including **Oweh**) to average at least **18.5** PPG, **4.5** RPG, **2.5** APG, and **1.5** SPG. The other **eight**: 

**18.5-19.5 PPG**  
1\. Javontae Campbell - 18.7 PPG, 4.5 RPG, **5.1 APG, 3.0 SPG** (32 GP, 34.1 MP/G)  
2\. Rowan Brumbaugh - 19.2 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.6 SPG (33 GP, **36.1 MP/G**)

5\. Harold Pressley (1985-86) - 16.8 PPG, **10.1 RPG**, 2.4 APG, **2.2 SPG**, 2.2 BPG (37 GP, 34.8 MP/G)  
  
**17-18 PPG**  
6\. Marqus Blakely (2009-10) - 17.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, **3.7 APG, 2.4 SPG**, 1.9 BPG (35 GP, 33.7 MP/G)  
7\. Yaxel Lendeborg (2024-25) - 17.7 PPG, **11.4 RPG, 4.2 APG**, 1.7 SPG, 1.8 BPG (37 GP, 33.6 MP/G)  
  
**18-20 PPG**  
8\. Shane Battier (2000-01) - **19.9 PPG**, 7.3 RPG, 1.8 APG, 2.1 SPG, **2.3 BPG** (39 GP, 34.9 MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
9\. Danny Manning (1987-88) - **24.8 PPG**, 9.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.9 BPG (38 GP, 35.2 MP/G)

**Johnson** was the only **junior** to reach the above baselines. The otherswere **seniors**.

Also to note, **Pinckney** (1984-85) and **Pressley** (1985-86) reached the per game thresholds in **back-to-back** seasons at **Villanova**.

For fun, let's look at just former **SEC** players (since **1947-48**) to meet the above **per game** thresholds (no min. GP this time): 

**Brazile** and **Horry** are **two** of just **four**. The others:  
  
1\. Shaquille O'Neal (1990-91) - **27.6 PPG, 14.7 RPG**, 1.6 APG, 1.5 SPG, **5.0 BPG!**  
2\. Reggie Hanson (1990-91) - 14.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.6 APG, 1.5 SPG, **1.9 BPG**

As you can see, **O'Neal** and **Hanson** both met the criteria in the same season **(1990-91)**, and both also appeared in **28** games. 

**Horry** hit these baselines the following season **(1991-92)**, and was the last **SEC** player to do so since **Brazile** \~**35** years later.

Lastly, in **2025-26**, just **one** other NCAA DI men's player met the above **per game** marks besides **Brazile**:

**Rafael Castro** \- 15.3 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.7 BPG (29 GP, 27.3 MP/G)  
  
**Castro**, like Brazile, is also a **2026** **NBA Draft** hopeful.

**Lendeborg*, a National Champion in 2026 and the 11th overall Draft pick that year, landed in* [*Note #033*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-033-michael-ajayi-true-bulldog/) *(Michael Ajayi) and* [*Note #035*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-035-aaron-nkrumah-g-league-elite-camp-elevator/) *(Aaron Nkrumah).*

### Note #041: Meleek Thomas (Steel City Sniper)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-041-meleek-thomas-steel-city-sniper/
Last updated: 2026-07-14T00:27:54.000Z
Arkansas men's basketball player **Meleek Thomas** declared for the **2026 NBA Draft** following his 2025-26 **freshman** season with the Razorbacks, and was scooped up by Cleveland in the second round (34th overall).

In **2025-26**, Thomas torched from the **floor** and at the **line**, posting these shooting statistics:

- 121/270 2P/2PA **(44.8 2P%)**
- 82/197 3P/3PA **(41.6 3P%)**
- 91/108 FT/FTA **(84.3 FT%)**

Since **1980-81**, there have been **21** other instances of an NCAA Division I men's player shooting at least **44.5+** 2P% (min. 270 2PA), **41.5+** 3P% (min. 195 3PA), **84.0+** FT% (min. 105 FTA) in a **single** season. 

**Thomas** is the **only freshman** to qualify at those thresholds**!**

For fun: of the **21**, only **three** were **sophomores**:  
  
1\. Luke Kennard (2016-17) - 149/284 2P/2PA (52.5%), 88/201 3P/3PA (43.8%), 160/187 FT/FTA (85.6%)  
2\. Allan Houston (1990-91) - **166/319 2P/2PA** (52.0%), 99/231 3P/3PA (42.9%), **177/205 FT/FTA** (86.3%)  
3\. Stephen Curry (2007-08) - 155/287 2P/2PA **(54.0%)**, **162/369 3P/3PA (43.9%)**, 135/151 FT/FTA **(89.4%)**

And there were **four juniors**:  
  
1\. Allan Houston (1991-92) - 141/296 2P/2PA (47.6%), 82/196 3P/3PA (41.8%), **189/225 FT/FTA** (84.0%)  
2\. Shane Gibson (2011-12) - 166/295 2P/2PA **(56.3%)**, 87/201 3P/3PA **(43.3%)**, 112/130 FT/FTA **(86.2%)**  
3\. Shawn Respert (1993-94) - **180/357 2P/2PA** (50.4%), 92/205 3P/3PA **(44.9%)**, 142/169 FT/FTA (84.0%)  
4\. Mike Daum (2017-18) - **177/365 2P/2PA** (48.5%), **96/226 3P/3PA** (42.5%), **194/228 FT/FTA** (85.1%)

**Houston**, the **11th** overall pick in the **1993** NBA Draft, did it **twice**. He almost did it **thrice**, but *just* missed on **3P%** (82/198, **41.4**) as a **senior** in 1992-93.

Now, let's remove **FT**s entirely from the above criteria: the **only** other **freshman** besides **Thomas**, since **1980-81**, to hit the **2P** and **3P** benchmarks was...

His **teammate** in **2025-26!!**:   
[**Darius Acuff Jr.**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io)\- 197/388 2P/2PA (50.8%), 91/207 3P/3PA (44.0%)

That's right, in the last **45+** years only **two** freshmen were that efficient at that volume - and both were in the **same year**,on the **same team**!

**Acuff Jr.**, a **2026 NBA Draft** entrant, was selected **7th** overall by Sacramento.

### Note #040: Ebuka Okorie (The Nashua Natural)

Last updated: 2026-06-24T02:06:26.000Z
Stanford Cardinal guard **Ebuka Okorie** entered the **2026 NBA Draft** following his 2025-26 **freshman** season, going **17th** overall to Memphis.

The New Hampshire native Okorie was more than OK in **2025-26**. Let's start here:

- **5.5** 2P/G, **2.0** 3P/G, **7.3** FTA/G (31 GP, 35.1 MP/G)

**Since 1980-81**, there have been **48** NCAA Division I men's basketball players, including Okorie, to average **5.5+** 2P/G, **2+** 3P/G, **7+** FTA/G in a **single** season.

Of those 48, **three** were **freshmen**. **Okorie**, and:  
  
1\. Kevin Durant (2006-07) - 6.4 2P/G, 2.3 3P/G, 7.3 FTA/G (**35** GP, 35.9 MP/G)  
2\. Jason Conley (2001-02) - **7.4 2P/G, 2.8 3P/G, 7.5 FTA/G** (**28** GP, 34.3 MP/G)

For fun, the **three sophomores** to hit those marks:  
  
1\. Mike Daum (2016-17) - 5.6 2P/G, 2.3 3P/G, 8.3 FTA/G (35 GP, 32.7 MP/G)  
2\. Allen Iverson (1995-96) - 6.1 2P/G, 2.4 3P/G, **8.6 FTA/G** (37 GP, 32.8 MP/G)  
3\. Alphonso Ford (1990-91) - **8.5 2P/G, 3.1 3P/G**, 8.4 FTA/G (28 GP, 33.4 MP/G)  
  
If we remove **FTA/G** entirely, there were **two** other players besides **Okorie** in **2025-26** to put up **5.5+** 2P/G and **2+** 3P/G:  
  
1\. [**Darius Acuff Jr.**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 5.5 2P/G, 2.5 3P/G  
2\. Dominique Daniels Jr. - 5.9 2P/G, 2.0 3P/G

**Durant* debuted in* [*Note #039*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-039-kingston-flemings-royal-ascent/) *on 2026 Draft declarant Kingston Flemings.*

**Daum* dabbled in* [*Note #012*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-012-eian-elmer-statistical-shooting-outlier/) *(Eian Elmer) and* [*Note #034*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-034-jaylin-sellers-college-scoring-showcase/) *(Jaylin Sellers).*

🏀

Let's dig into more of ****Okorie**'s freshman **per game** stats.  
  
Firstly, he averaged ****23.2 PPG**.  
  
Since **1947-48**, only ****28** NCAA DI ****freshmen** have averaged ****23+** PPG.  
  
Continuing: Okorie averaged ****3.6 APG** in 2025-26 as well.  
  
That list of ****28** freshmen narrows to ****12** (23+ PPG, 3.5+ APG).  
  
****Okorie** also averaged ****3.6 RPG**. The freshmen list is now ****six** (23+ PPG, 3.5+ APG, 3.5+ RPG). The other ****five** are:  
  
****23-25 PPG**  
1\. [****Markelle Fultz**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/markelle-fultz/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2016-17) - 23.2 PPG, ****5.9 APG, 5.7 RPG** (****25 GP**, 35.7 MP/G)  
2\. R.J. Cole (2017-18) - 23.7 PPG, 6.1 APG, 3.9 RPG (33 GP, ****37.9 MP/G**)  
3\. Rodney Stuckey (2005-06) - 24.2 PPG, 4.1 APG, 4.8 RPG (30 GP, 33.0 MP/G)  
  
****25+ PPG**  
4\. [****AJ Dybantsa**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2025-26) - ****25.5 PPG**, 3.7 APG, ****6.8 RPG** (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G)  
5\. Trae Young (2017-18) - ****27.4 PPG, 8.7 APG**, 3.9 RPG (32 GP, 35.4 MP/G)  
  
If we ****added** Okorie's notable ****1.6 SPG** as a threshold too, we'd only lose ****one** from the ****five** above (Dybantsa, 1.1 SPG).  
  
To note, ****Okorie**, the aforementioned ****Acuff Jr.**, and ****Dybantsa** were ****three** of ****nine** players in ****2025-26** to average ****23+ PPG**.  
  
The only other ****two** in ****2025-26** to also average ****3.5+ APG** like the **three** above:  
  
1\. Deshaun Ruffin - 23.3 PPG, 5.3 APG  
2\. PJ Haggerty - 23.4 PPG, 3.8 APG  
  
****Ruffin** was a ****senior**, ****Haggerty** (who debuted in [Note #032](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-032-mark-mitchell-milestone-college-metrics/) on 2026 Draft prospect Mark Mitchell) a ****junior**.

🏀 🏀 That's right, another Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note!  
  
Anyway, to ****Okorie**'s ****shooting**:   
  
He was ****171/325** from ****2** ****(52.6 2P%)** in 2025-26.  
  
That season, ****five** other ****freshmen** besides Okorie shot ****52.5%+** from ****2** (min. 325 2PA):  
  
****300-350 2PA**  
1\. Brandon Benjamin - 188/328 2P/2PA (57.3 2P%)  
2\. DJ Hall - 183/332 2P/2PA (55.1 2P%)  
  
****350-400 2PA**  
3\. [****Koa Peat**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-036-koa-peat-frontcourt-enforcer/) \- 193/359 2P/2PA (53.8 2P%)   
4\. [****Cameron Boozer**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 236/384 2P/2PA (61.5 2P%)  
  
****400+ 2PA**  
5\. [AJ Dybantsa](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 259/456 2P/2PA (56.8 2P%)  
  
What's especially notable is how Okorie stacks up ****height-** and **position-wise** to his peers above:  
  
Boozer - 6'9" forward  
Dybantsa - 6'9" forward  
Benjamin - 6'8" forward  
Peat - 6'8" forward  
Hall - 6'7" forward  
****Okorie** \- ****6'2" guard**  
  
Of the ****117** NCAA DI ****freshmen**, since ****1953-54**, to shoot ****52.5+** 2P% on at least 325 2PA, only ****ten** (including Okorie) were ****6'2"** or ****shorter** (less than ****9%** of the total).  
  
Now, let's add on ****3s:** Okorie was ****63/178 3P/3PA** (35.4 3P%) in ****2025-26**.  
  
Since ****1980-81**, only ****one** other men's player shot at least ****52.5+** 2P% (min. 325 2PA) and ****35+** 3P% (min. 175 3PA) in their ****freshman** season:  
  
****Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf** (1988-89) - 275/523 2P/2PA (52.6%), 84/216 3P/3PA (38.9%)  
  
Abdul-Rauf, formerly ****Chris Jackson**, was the ****3rd** overall pick in the ****1990** NBA Draft.  
  
If we add Okorie's ****FT/FTA** and **FT%** numbers (188/226, 83.2%) as baselines, he becomes the ****only freshman** since ****1980-81** to hit those ****2P/3P/FT** benchmarks.  
  
There have only been ****four** instances of ****non-freshmen** meeting those splits in a ****single** season:  
  
****Seniors**  
1\. Mike Daum (2018-19) - 219/378 2P/2PA ****(57.9%)**, 67/181 3P/3PA (37.0%), 196/234 FT/FTA (83.8%)  
2\. Hersey Hawkins Jr. (1987-88) - ****290/499 2P/2PA (58.1%), 87/221 3P/3PA** (39.4%), ****284/335 FT/FTA** (84.8%)  
3\. Bo Kimble (1989-90) - ****312/563 2P/2PA** (55.4%), ****92/200 3P/3PA (46.0%!)**, 231/268 FT/FTA ****(86.2%)**  
  
****Sophomores**  
4\. Mike Daum (2016-17) - 195/344 2P/2PA (56.7%), 79/189 3P/3PA ****(41.8%)**, ****251/289 FT/FTA (86.9%)**  
  
Yep, ****Daum** did it twice.

URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-039-kingston-flemings-royal-ascent/
Last updated: 2026-07-09T23:42:23.000Z
Houston guard **Kingston Flemings** entered the **2026 NBA Draft** (along with his **freshman** counterpart [**Chris Cenac Jr.**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-037-chris-cenac-jr-limitless-length/)) following his only college season, going **8th** overall to Atlanta.

Flemings took flight in **2025-26** with the Cougars, posting these **per game** numbers (in 37 GP, 31.7 MP/G):

- 16.2 PPG
- 5.2 APG
- 4.1 RPG
- 1.5 SPG

**Since 1947-48**, there have been **eight** NCAA Division I men's players (including **Flemings**) to average at least **16** PPG, **5** APG, **4** RPG, **1.5** RPG in their **freshman** season. The other **seven**:

**16-18 PPG**  
1\. John Wall (2009-10) - 16.6 PPG, 6.5 APG, 4.3 RPG, 1.8 SPG (**37 GP**, 34.8 MP/G)  
2\. Chauncey Billups (1995-96) - 17.9 PPG, 5.5 APG, **6.3 RPG**, 1.6 SPG (26 GP, 35.5 MP/G)  
  
**18-20 PPG**  
3\. Dennis Smith Jr. (2016-17) - 18.1 PPG, **6.2 APG**, 4.6 RPG, 1.9 SPG (32 GP, 34.8 MP/G)  
4\. D'Angelo Russell (2014-15) - 19.3 PPG, 5.0 APG, 5.7 RPG, 1.6 SPG (35 GP, 33.9 MP/G)  
  
**20+ PPG**  
5\. [**Kenny Anderson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/kenny-anderson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (1989-90) - **20.6 PPG, 8.1 APG**, 5.5 RPG, **2.3 SPG** (35 GP, **37.7 MP/G**)  
6\. Danny Ainge (1977-78) - **21.1 PPG**, 5.3 APG, **5.8 RPG, 2.0 SPG** (30 GP, **38.0 MP/G**)  
7\. [**Markelle Fultz**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/markelle-fultz/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) (2016-17) - **23.2 PPG, 5.9 APG, 5.7 RPG**, 1.6 SPG (**25 GP**, 35.7 MP/G)

Of the **seven** above, **six** were top **nine** picks in their respective **NBA Drafts**. Only **Ainge** (**31st** overall in 1981) was not. 

Furthermore, **five** of those **six** were top **three (!)** picks. **Smith Jr.** was not(**9th** overall in2017).

*We welcomed *Wall* in* [*Note #008*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-008-acaden-lewis-freshman-statistical-analysis/) *on Miami (FL) transfer Acaden Lewis.*

**Billups* was included in* [*Note #003*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) *on potential 2026 NBA Draft lottery pick Keaton Wagler.* 

**Smith Jr.* was also in the* [*Lewis Note*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-008-acaden-lewis-freshman-statistical-analysis/)*, and *Russell* the* [*Wagler Note*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/)*.*

In **2025-26**, there were **five** **non-freshmen** to meet the above **PPG**/**APG**/**RPG**/**SPG** marks like **Flemings**:

**Seniors**  
1\. Quion Williams - 17.7 PPG, 5.4 APG, **8.2 RPG (!)**, 1.8 SPG (32 GP, 36.1 MP/G)  
2\. Jaylin Henderson - **18.2 PPG, 5.8 APG**, 4.1 RPG, 1.6 SPG (31 GP, **37.3 MP/G**)

If we remove **SPG**, we see one more name from **2025-26**, **senior**:

**Quinn Denker** \- 19.2 PPG, 7.0 APG, 5.1 RPG

If we remove **RPG** too, there was only **one** other **freshman** in **2025-26** to average **16+** PPG and **5+** APG like **Flemings**:  
  
[**Darius Acuff Jr.**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/darius-acuff-jr/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 23.5 PPG, 6.4 APG (36 GP, 35.1 MP/G)

### Note #038: Cameron Carr (Combine Clinician)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-038-cameron-carr-nba-combine-clinician/
Last updated: 2026-06-26T13:13:07.000Z
Former Tennessee Volunteer and Baylor Bear **Cameron Carr** declared for the **2026 NBA Draft** (popping at the **NBA Combine**), and was selected **24th** overall, following his lone season in Waco.

Carr played in **34** games (33.7 MP/G) for Baylor in **2025-26**, after only playing in **18** games across **two** seasons at Tennessee (2023-24, 2024-25).

As a **junior** (per Sports Reference, redshirted his sophomore year (4 GP) with the Vols due to injury) in 2025-26, **Carr** cruised to:

- 18.9 PPG
- 5.8 RPG
- 2.6 APG
- 0.9 SPG
- 1.3 BPG

**Since 1947-48**, there have been **five** other NCAA Division I **juniors** besides Carr to meet those **per game** baselines (min. 30 GP):  
  
**20-22 PPG**  
1\. DaRon Holmes II (2023-24) - 20.4 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 2.6 APG, 0.9 SPG, **2.1 BPG** (33 GP, 32.5 MP/G)  
2\. Michael Bradley (2000-01) - 20.8 PPG, **9.8 RPG**, 2.6 APG, 0.9 SPG, 1.8 BPG (31 GP, 34.0 MP/G)  
3\. Dwayne Wade (2002-03) - 21.5 PPG, 6.3 RPG, **4.4 APG**, **2.2 SPG**, 1.3 BPG (33 GP, 32.1 MP/G)  
  
**22+ PPG**  
4\. Bubba Wells (1995-96) - **26.3 PPG**, 7.3 RPG, 2.9 APG, 1.6 SPG, 1.5 BPG (30 GP, 36.1 MP/G)  
5\. [**Lionel Simmons**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/lionel-simmons/) (1988-89) - **28.4 PPG, 11.4 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.7 SPG, 1.9 BPG** (32 GP, **38.1 MP/G**)

In **2025-26**, only **one** other player met Carr's **per game** baselines (no GP floor): **freshman**, and fellow **2026 NBA Draft** declarant (who was picked **4th** overall):  
  
[**Caleb Wilson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/caleb-wilson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- 19.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.4 BPG (**24 GP**, 31.3 MP/G)

For fun, if we remove **APG** entirely, we get **two** more players in **2025-26** to hit the other **four** per game thresholds:  
  
1\. Hannes Steinbach - 18.5 PPG, **11.8 RPG**, 1.1 SPG, 1.2 BPG (30 GP, 34.6 MP/G)  
2\. JT Toppin - **21.8 PPG**, 10.8 RPG, **1.4 SPG, 1.7 BPG** (**25 GP**, 34.8 MP/G)  
  
**Steinbach**, another **2026 NBA Draft** entrant who was selected **14th** overall, was a **freshman** in the season above. **Toppin** a **junior**.  
  
**D-Wade* debuted in* [*Note #035*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-035-aaron-nkrumah-g-league-elite-camp-elevator/) *on 2026 NBA Draft hopeful Aaron Nkrumah.*

Last updated: 2026-07-20T01:50:19.000Z
Former Houston big man **Chris Cenac Jr.** was chosen **27th** overall by the Celtics in the **2026 NBA Draft**, following his 2025-26 **freshman** season in H-Town.

- 9.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 0.7 APG, 0.8 SPG, 0.5 BPG

Since **1947-48**, only **three** NCAA Division I men's players besides Cenac Jr. have met the above **per game** thresholds as **freshmen** (in **25 MP/G** or **less**):  
  
1\. Joel Embiid (2013-14) - 11.2 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 APG, 0.9 SPG, **2.6 BPG** (28 GP, 23.1 MP/G)

Let's remove the **MP/G** threshold from above, and just look at **2025-26**. There were **six** other **freshmen** besides **Cenac Jr.** that season to average **9.5+** PPG, **7.5+** RPG, **0.5+** APG/SPG/BPG:  
  
**12-15 PPG**  
1\. Declan Wucherpfennig - 12.1 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 1.6 APG, 0.8 SPG, 0.5 BPG (34 GP, 31.6 MP/G)  
2\. Tomislav Buljan - 13.1 PPG, **10.3 RPG**, 1.5 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.5 BPG (35 GP, 25.9 MP/G)  
3\. Brandon Benjamin - 14.2 PPG, **10.4 RPG**, 1.2 APG, 0.7 SPG, **1.6 BPG** (32 GP, 31.3 MP/G)

4\. Hannes Steinbach - **18.5 PPG,** **11.8 RPG**, 1.6 APG, 1.1 SPG, **1.2 BPG** (30 GP, 34.6 MP/G)  
5\. [**Caleb Wilson**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/caleb-wilson/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- **19.8 PPG**, 9.4 RPG, **2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.4 BPG** (24 GP, 31.3 MP/G)

**Benjamin** and **Wucherpfennig** were **teammates** at **Fairfield** in 2025-26! 

**Steinbach** (14th overall), **Wilson** (4th), and **Boozer** (3rd), like **Cenac Jr.** (27th), were all **2026 NBA Draft** first round selections.  
  
**Benjamin* broke through in* [*Note #016*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/) *on Eric Reibe +* [*Note #027*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-027-massamba-diop-zags-new-z-axis/) *on Massamba Diop.*

Last updated: 2026-06-24T03:29:47.000Z
Former Arizona big man **Koa Peat** declared for the **2026 NBA Draft** after his 2025-26 **freshman** season with the Wildcats, and was chosen with the final pick of the first round **(30th)**. 

In **2025-26**, Peat produced the following **per game** numbers (across 36 GP, 27.8 MP/G) to help the 'Cats reach their first Final Four since 2001:

- 14.1 PPG
- 5.6 RPG
- 2.6 APG
- 0.6 SPG
- 0.7 BPG
- 5.6 FG/G
- 4.5 FTA/G

**Since** **1947-48**, only **nine** NCAA Division I men's players (including **Peat**) have averaged at least **14** PPG, **5.5** RPG, **2.5** APG, **0.5** SPG, **0.5** BPG. **5.5** FG/G, **4.5** FTA/G in their **freshman** season (min. 30 GP). Here are the other **eight**:

**15-17 PPG**  
1\. Dedric Lawson (2015-16) - 15.8 PPG, **9.3 RPG**, 2.5 APG, 1.2 SPG, **1.7 BPG**, 5.5 FG/G, 5.5 FTA/G (33 GP, 32.2 MP/G)  
2\. Bonzi Wells (1994-95) - 15.8 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.8 APG, **2.8 SPG**, 0.6 BPG, 5.9 FG/G, 4.7 FTA/G (30 GP, 29.6 MP/G)

**17-19 PPG**  
4\. Paolo Banchero (2021-22) - 17.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 3.2 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 6.3 FG/G, 4.8 FTA/G (39 GP, 33 MP/G)

**Flagg** and **Boozer** met the above thresholds in **back-to-back** seasons at **Duke**. **Banchero** also played for the Blue Devils.

Now, if we **remove** the **min.** **GP** threshold, **five** more **freshman** enter the fold:

1\. C.J. Anderson (2004-05) - 16.1 PPG, **8.6 RPG**, 2.8 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.3 BPG, 6.2 FG/G, 6.6 FTA/G (28 GP, 34.4 MP/G)

If we remove **FG/G** and **FTA/G** entirely, **Peat**, **Boozer**, and **Wilson** remain the only **freshman** in **2025-26** to average **14+** PPG, **5.5+** RPG, **2.5+** APG, **0.5+** SPG, **0.5+** BPG. If we remove **BPG** too, another **freshman** enters: 

[**AJ Dybantsa**](https://lemmonlabs.io/tag/aj-dybantsa/?ref=lemmonlabs.io) \- **25.5 PPG**, 6.8 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.1 SPG (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G)

After noteworthy 2026 G League Elite Camp and NBA Combine performances, former Tennessee State men's basketball player **Aaron Nkrumah** inked an Exhibit 10 contract.

All players besides **McCollum (junior)** were **seniors** in the seasons above.

**McCollum* McComes up in* [*Note #024*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-024-gavin-doty-siena-sophomore-ironman/) *on Syracuse commit Gavin Doty.*

**Harper* hits in* [*Note #019*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-019-allen-graves-complete-court-impact/) *on 2026 NBA Draft prospect Allen Graves, and* [*Note #033*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-033-michael-ajayi-true-bulldog/) *on another Draft entrant: Michael Ajayi.*

If we **remove** the **FG/G** and **FTA/G** thresholds from above, we see **six** more who met that PPG/RPG/APG/SPG/BPG criteria in a **single** season (still min. 30 GP):  
  
**Seniors**  
1\. Matt Rafferty (2018-19) - 17.5 PPG, **9.0 RPG, 4.3 APG**, 2.5 SPG, **1.1 BPG** (33 GP, 33.4 MP/G)

While no one else in **2025-26** besides **Nkrumah** hit the above **per game** benchmarks, if we remove **BPG**, **one** other player from 2025-26 joins:

**Prophet Johnson** \- 18.2 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 3.7 APG, 2.6 SPG (30 GP, 35.4 MP/G)

If we remove **SPG** as well, **five** others from **2025-26** appear:

### Note #033: Michael Ajayi (True Bulldog)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-033-michael-ajayi-true-bulldog/
Last updated: 2026-07-14T00:40:10.000Z
College eligibility exhausted, former **Pepperdine**, **Gonzaga**, and **Butler** men's basketball player **Michael Ajayi** was not drafted in **2026**,butagreed to a two-way NBA contract with Charlotte.

As a graduate **senior** in **2025-26** for the (Butler) Bulldogs, the 6'7" hybrid averaged **16.4 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 3.2 APG**, and **1.1 SPG** (32 GP, 33.6 MP/G).

Since **1947-48**, there have been **13** other **individual** seasons, besides **Ajayi**'s, where an NCAA Division I men's player averaged **16+** PPG, **11+** RPG, **3+** APG, and **1+** SPG:  
  
**Seniors**  
1\. Yaxel Lendeborg (2024-25) - 17.7 PPG, 11.4 RPG, **4.2 APG**, 1.7 SPG (**37 GP**, 33.6 MP/G)  
2\. David West (2002-03) - 20.1 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 3.2 APG, 1.3 SPG (32 GP, 36.5 MP/G)  
3\. Adam Sonn (2002-03) - 16.1 PPG, **12.1 RPG**, 3.8 APG, 1.1 SPG (29 GP, 32.4 MP/G)  
4\. Adam Keefe (1991-92) - **25.3 PPG, 12.2 RPG**, 3.0 APG, 1.7 SPG (29 GP, 37.2 MP/G)  
5\. Lionel Simmons (1989-90) - **26.5 PPG**, 11.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, 1.9 SPG (32 GP, **38.1 MP/G**)   
6\. Ron Harper (1985-86) - 24.4 PPG, 11.7 RPG, **4.3 APG**, **3.3 SPG** (31 GP, 36.9 MP/G)  
7\. Carey Scurry (1984-85) - 21.1 PPG, **14.1 RPG**, 3.1 APG, **2.9 SPG** (28 GP)  
8\. Larry Bird (1978-79) - **28.6 PPG, 14.9 RPG, 5.5 APG, 2.5 SPG** (34 GP)  
  
**Juniors**  
9\. Billy Owens (1990-91) - 23.3 PPG, 11.6 RPG, 3.5 APG, **2.4 SPG** (32 GP, **38.0 MP/G**)  
10\. Lionel Simmons (1988-89) - **28.4 PPG**, 11.4 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.7 SPG (32 GP, **38.9 MP/G**)  
11\. Larry Bird (1977-78) - **30.0 PPG**, 11.5 RPG, 3.9 APG, **2.4 SPG** (32 GP)  
  
**Sophomores**  
12\. Larry Bird (1976-77) - **32.8 PPG, 13.3 RPG, 4.4 APG, 2.8 SPG** (28 GP, 36.9 MP/G)  
  
**Freshmen**  
13\. Ben Simmons (2015-16) - 19.2 PPG, 11.8 RPG, **4.8 APG**, 2.0 SPG (33 GP, 34.9 MP/G)

Yes, **Bird** met this **per game** criteria in **three** separate seasons! And **Lionel Simmons** met it **twice**.

**Lendeborg** (11th overall pick), like **Ajayi**, was also a **2026 NBA Draft** entrant.

FWIW, all above (including Ajayi) averaged **0.5+ BPG** as well.

Also, to note, **Ajayi** shot **171/346** from **2** **(49.4 2P%)** and **18/69** from **3 (26.1 3P%)** in **2025-26**.

Across his **three** Division I seasons (he also played **two** JUCO seasons), he shot 408/835 from 2 **(48.9 2P%)** and 65/196 from 3 **(33.2 3P%)**. More on this later...

Lastly, **no one** in **2025-26** averaged **16+** PPG, **11+** RPG, and **3+** APG like **Ajayi**.

**Two** others that season averaged **16+** PPG, **11+** RPG and **1+** SPG like him:

### Note #032: Mark Mitchell (Metric Milestones)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-032-mark-mitchell-milestone-college-metrics/
Last updated: 2026-06-26T13:17:23.000Z
Former Duke and Missouri forward **Mark Mitchell** went undrafted, but signed an NBA Exhibit 10 deal following a standout 2025-26 **senior** season.

In **2025-26** with the Tigers, the **6' 8"** Mitchell (with a lengthy **7'2"** wingspan) posted the following **shooting** numbers:

- 185/324 2P/2PA **(57.1 2P%)**
- 19/49 3P/3PA **(38.8 3P%)**
- 178/266 FT/FTA **(66.9 FT%)**

**Since 1980-81**, only **four** other NCAA Division I men's players have shot **57+** 2P% (min. 320 2PA) and **38+** 3P% (min. 45 3PA) with **265+** FTA in a **single** season like Mitchell:

**Seniors**  
1\. Hersey Hawkins Jr. (1987-88) - **290/499 2P/2PA** (58.1%), **87/221 3P/3PA** (39.4%), **284/335 FT/FTA (84.8%)**  
2\. Jaedon Ledee (2023-24) - 243/425 2P/2PA (57.2%), 20/45 3P/3PA **(44.4%)**, 226/308 FT/FTA (73.4%)

**Juniors**  
3\. Ike Diogu (2004-05) - 211/353 2P/2PA **(59.8%)**, 18/45 3P/3PA (40.0%), 248/311 FT/FTA (79.7%)

**Freshmen**  
4\. Cameron Boozer (2025-26) - 236/384 2P/2PA **(61.5%)**, 54/138 3P/3PA (39.1%), 221/280 FT/FTA (78.9%)

**Hawkins Jr.** was the **sixth** overall pick in the **1988 NBA Draft**. Diogu went **ninth** overall in **2005**.

**Boozer**, who will simply not go away ([all references](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/)), was selected **3rd** overall in the **2026** NBA Draft.

Now, if we remove **FT**s entirely, there have been **43** (including the **five** above) since **1980-81** to hit the **2P** and **3P** baselines.

**Mitchell** was **one** of **twenty seniors** to do it, **Boozer** one of just **three freshmen**. For fun, the other **two**:  
  
1\. Marvin Bagley III (2017-18) - **247/382 2P/2PA (64.7%)**, 23/58 3P/3PA (39.7%)  
2\. TJ Leaf (2016-17) - 208/323 2P/2PA **(64.4%)**, 27/58 3P/3PA **(46.6%)** 
  
**Mitchell** and **Boozer** were the only **two** players in **2025-26** to meet these **2P** and **3P** thresholds.

**Bagley III* and *Leaf* both appear in* [*Note #031*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-031-jamier-jones-freshman-gamewrecker/) *on Jamier Jones.*

### Note #031: Jamier Jones (Freshman Gamebreaker)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-031-jamier-jones-freshman-gamewrecker/
Last updated: 2026-06-25T00:29:00.000Z
Former Providence Friar **Jamier Jones** entered the transfer portal after his **freshman** 2025-26 season, committing to **Missouri** for 2026-27.

In **2025-26**, Jones appeared in **28** games and shot **123/206** from **2** (59.7%), **12/31** from **3** (38.7%) and **87/131** from the **FT** line (66.4%).  
  
**Since 1980-81**, there have been **74** NCAA Division I men's basketball players to register a **59+** 2P% (min. 200 2PA), **38+** 3P% (min. 30 3PA), and **65+** FT% (min. 130 FTA) in a **single** season. Of those **74**, only **two** were **freshmen** (!) 

One was **Jones**, the other was:

**Cameron Boozer (2025-26)** \- **236/384** 2P/2PA **(61.5%)**, **54/138** 3P/3PA **(39.1%)**, **221/280** FT/FTA **(78.9%)**

Yes, in the last **45+** years only **two** freshmen have met the above shooting thresholds, and **both** did it in **2025-26**. 

**Three** others besides **Jones** and **Boozer**, in **2025-26** (all classes), met those same splits above:

**Senior**  
1\. Bruce Thornton - **175/273 2P/2PA (64.1%**), 62/155 3P/3PA **(40.0%)**, 141/170 FT/FTA **(82.9%)** 
  
**Junior**  
2\. Jack Karasinski - 141/207 2P/2PA **(68.1%), 71/171 3P/3PA (41.5%), 155/192 FT/FTA** (80.7%)  
  
**Sophomore**  
3\. Blake Barkley - 144/228 2P/2PA (63.2%), 18/47 3P/3PA (38.3%), 126/150 FT/FTA **(84.0%)**

Even if we remove the **FT** requirements entirely, **Jones** and **Boozer** are still the only **two** **freshmen** who qualify (**59+** 2P% on **200+** 2PA, **38+** 3P% on **30+** 3PA) in 2025-26.

Since **1980-81**, only **five** other **freshmen** outside of Jones and Boozer have met the above **2P** and **3P** shooting baselines:

**57-58 FG%**  
1\. Jess Settles (1993-94) - 140/230 2P/2PA (60.9%), 16/42 3P/3PA (38.1%)  
  
**58-60 FG%**  
2\. John Konchar (2015-16) - 134/213 2P/2PA (62.9%), **29/66 3P/3PA (43.9%)**  
3\. Trip Day (2017-18) - 129/205 2P/2PA (62.9%), 22/53 3P/3PA (41.5%)  
  
**60+ FG%**  
4\. Marvin Bagley III (2017-18) - **247/382 2P/2PA (64.7%)**, 23/58 3P/3PA (39.7%)  
5\. TJ Leaf (2016-17) - **208/323 2P/2PA (64.4%)**, 27/58 3P/3PA **(46.6%)**

*The Cameron *Boozer* freshman 2025-26 season is everywhere all at once (*[*all CB references*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/)*).*

**Thornton*, the 31st overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft,appears in* [*Note #027* ](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-027-massamba-diop-zags-new-z-axis/)*on new Gonzaga center Massamba Diop.*

### Note #030: Christian Bliss (The Marathon Man)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-030-christian-bliss-marathon-man/
Last updated: 2026-06-03T12:11:33.000Z
Whilst analyzing a **different** Christian (Anderson, recently featured in [Note #028](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/)), we knew we needed to take a closer look at this **Christian (Bliss)**. 

**Bliss** entered the transfer portal after his **2025-26** season with **Delaware**, committing to **Stanford** for 2026-27\. 

In 2025-26, the **sophomore** (per Sports Reference), who **redshirted** his freshman year at Virginia in 2023-24 and **did not play** for the Cavaliers in 2024-25, averaged **16.7 PPG, 5.9 APG, 5.2 RPG**, and **1.8 SPG** in his lone season with the Blue Hens. 

The **ten** NCAA Division I men's players to average at least **16.5** PPG, **5.5** APG, **5** RPG, **1.5** SPG in their **sophomore** season **since 1947-48**:

**16.5-17 PPG**  
1\. Jason Kidd (1993-94) - 16.7 PPG, **9.1 APG**, 6.9 RPG, **3.1 SPG** 
**2\. Christian Bliss** (2025-26) - 16.7 PPG, 5.9 APG, 5.2 RPG, 1.8 SPG  
3\. Anthony Peeler (1989-90) - 16.8 PPG, 5.8 APG, 5.4 RPG, 2.0 SPG

**17-17.5 PPG**  
4\. Magic Johnson (1978-79) - 17.1 PPG, **8.4 APG, 7.3 RPG**, 2.3 SPG  
5\. Nick Calathes (2008-09) - 17.2 PPG, 6.4 APG, 5.3 RPG, 1.9 SPG  
6\. Penny Hardaway (1991-92) - 17.4 PPG, 5.5 APG, **7.0 RPG**, 2.5 SPG  
7\. DeVante Jones (2019-20) - 17.4 PPG, 5.7 APG, 5.8 RPG, 1.7 SPG  
  
**17.5-24 PPG**  
8\. Michael Anderson (1985-86) - 18.8 PPG, **7.3 APG**, 6.5 RPG, **3.0 SPG** 
  
**24+ PPG**  
9\. Ja Morant (2018-19) - **24.5 PPG, 10.0 APG**, 5.7 RPG, 1.8 SPG  
10\. Kenny Anderson (1990-91) - **25.9 PPG**, 5.6 APG, 5.7 RPG, **3.0 SPG**

**Hardaway* first appears in* [*Note #018*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-018-thomas-haugh-high-voltage-per-game-output/) *on Thomas Haugh's electric 2025-26 season. *Michael Anderson's* first app was in* [*Note #028*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) *on Christian Anderson.*

🏀

In ****2025-26**, only ****eight** other NCAA Division I men's players averaged at least ****16.5 PPG** and ****5.5 APG**, including ****Bliss**.  
  
The ****only** other ****sophomore** who met those ****two** thresholds, our friend:   
  
[****Christian Anderson**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) \- 18.5 PPG, ****7.4 APG**  
  
The only ****freshman** to do it in ****2025-26**?  
  
****Darius Acuff Jr. - 23.5 PPG**, 6.4 APG  
**(*[**Note #003*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) */* [**Note #010*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-010-alex-wilkins-freshman-lead-guard/) */* [**Note #023*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-023-dwayne-aristode-efficient-scoring-hybrid/) */* [**Note #025*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-025-elijah-crawford-next-villanova-wildcat-weapon/)**)*  
  
Now let's tack on ****RPG** (Bliss = **5.2**).  
  
Only ****one** other player in ****2025-26** averaged at least ****16.5** PPG, ****5.5** APG, ****5.0** RPG:  
  
****Quinn Denker** \- 19.2 PPG, 7.0 APG, 5.1 RPG  
  
FWIW, Denker was a ****senior** that season.  
  
Lastly, let's swap ****RPG** for ****SPG** (Bliss = ****1.8**).  
  
There were only ****two** others in ****2025-26**, besides ****Bliss**, to reach the ****16.5+** PPG, ****5.5+** APG, ****1.5+** SPG thresholds (min. 30 GP):  
  
****Kevin "Boopie" Miller** \- ****19.1 PPG, 6.4 APG**, 1.5 SPG  
****Jaylin Henderson** \- 18.2 PPG, 5.6 APG, 1.6 SPG  
  
Miller was a ****junior**, Henderson a ****senior**.

---

🏀 🏀 Since Christian ****Anderson** got the Lemmon Labs ****Triple-Double** Note treatment, we figured Christian ****Bliss** should too:  
  
Anyway, as mentioned in the [Note](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) on Anderson, what originally popped about Bliss was his ****39.8 (!) MP/G** (1233 MP total) across **31 GP** in ****2025-26**.   
  
Since **1977-78**, there has only been ****one** player in a ****single** season who averaged a ****higher MP/G** (min. 1230 MP total) than Bliss:  
  
****Bryce Cotton** (2013-14) - ****39.9 MP/G** ****(1398 MP)** in ****35 GP**  
  
Of the ****17** since 1977-78 that averaged **39+** MP/G (min. 1230 MP), only ****five** were ****sophomores** (including Bliss). The other **four**:  
  
****1230-1300 MP**  
1\. Kerry Kittles (1993-94) - 39.3 MP/G (1258 MP)  
2\. Leon Wood III (1981-82) - ****39.5 MP/G** (1263 MP)  
  
****1300-1400 MP**  
3\. Lionel Simmons (1987-88) - 39.0 MP/G ****(1326 MP)**  
  
****1400+ MP**  
4\. Tyus Battle (2017-18) - 39.0 MP/G ****(1443 MP)**  
  
Lastly: in ****2025-26**, Christian ****Anderson** was the ****only** other NCAA DI men's player besides ****Bliss** to average ****38+ MP/G**.  
  
Only ****four** others played ****37.5+** ****MP/G** in ****2025-26**: Cruz Davis (37.9), Jordan Riley (37.8), Bennett Stirtz (37.7), Amir Lindsey (37.6).  
  
Like Bliss and Anderson, ****Davis**, ****Riley**, ****Stirtz**, and ****Lindsey** all appeared in ****30+** games that season.  
  
***Kittles** *is highlighted in* [**Note #014*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-014-corey-hadnot-ii-guard-efficiency-glitch/) *on Corey Hadnot II, while* ***Simmons** *appears in* [**Note #024*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-024-gavin-doty-siena-sophomore-ironman/) *(Gavin Doty) and* [**Note #028*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) *(Christian Anderson)*.  
  
***Battle** **is also mentioned in* [**#028*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/)**.*

### Note #029: Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn (The Shooting Anomaly)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-029-dra-gibbs-lawhorn-shooting-anomaly/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T00:47:48.000Z
Former Illinois and UNLV guard **Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn** entered the transfer portal following his 2025-26 **junior** season with the Runnin' Rebels, committing to **Texas Tech** for 2026-27.

In **2025-26**, Gibbs-Lawhorn popped with the following **per game** metrics (35 GP, 34.1 MP/G):

- 20.7 PPG
- 3.1 RPG
- 2.5 APG
- 1.5 SPG
- 0.5 BPG
- 4.5 2P/G
- 2.9 3P/G
- 3.1 FT/G

Since **1980-81**, only **16** NCAA Division I men's players have averaged at least **20.5** PPG, **3** RPG, **2.5** APG, **1.5** SPG, **0.5** BPG, **4.5** 2P/G, **2.5** 3P/G, **3** FT/G in a **single** season. **Four juniors** besides **Gibbs-Lawhorn** hit these baselines:

**< 25 PPG**  
1\. Ray Allen (1995-96) - 23.4 PPG, **6.5 RPG, 3.3 APG**, 1.7 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 5.1 2P/G, 3.3 3P/G, 3.4 FT/G in 35 GP

**25-30 PPG**  
2\. Quincy Douby (2005-06) - 25.4 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.8 SPG, **0.8 BPG**, 5.2 2P/G, **3.5 3P/G**, 4.5 FT/G in 33 GP  
3\. Lester Hudson (2007-08) - 25.7 PPG, **7.8 RPG, 4.5 APG, 2.8 SPG**, 0.7 BPG, 5.1 2P/G, **3.8 3P/G**, 4.3 FT/G in 33 GP

**Bradshaw** played **two** years at Bethune-Cookman (1983-85), then did not play for **four** years (1985-89, military service), before **returning** for his junior season above at U.S. International. 

He had an impressive **senior** year (1990-91) as well for the Gulls (28 GP):

**37.6 PPG** (led NCAA Division I, scored DI record **72** points vs. Loyola Marymount), 5.1 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.0 BPG, **10.6 2P/G**, 2.1 3P/G, **9.9 FT/G**

**Allen* is a major focal point of* [*Note #005*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-005-juke-harris-ray-allen-sophomore-leap/) *on Juke Harris.*

🏀

Let's just look at Gibbs-Lawhorn's ****2025-26 shooting** splits:  
  
****57.1 2P% (156/273)** and ****41.4 3P% (101/244)**  
  
Since ****1980-81** (when 3-pointers were introduced), ****no** men's player has shot at least ****57%** from ****2** on ****270+** 2PA and ****41%** from ****3** on ****240+** 3PA in a ****single** season ****except** Gibbs-Lawhorn.  
  
If we filter down to ****56.5 2P%**, however, we find:   
  
****Justin Wright-Foreman** (2018-19) - 56.8 2P% (220/387), 42.5 3P% (110/259)  
  
Wright-Foreman, notably, attempted ****114** more ****2s** than Gibbs-Lawhorn, and ****15** more ****3s**.  
  
We keep whittling down to ****55.0 2P%** to uncover our next player:  
  
****Buddy Hield** (2015-16) - 55.2 2P% (154/279), ****45.7 3P% (147/322)**  
  
Lower the ****2P%** a little more to ****54.0** and we get:  
  
****Stephen Curry** (2007-08) - 54.0 2P% (155/287), ****43.9 3P% (162/369)**  
  
***Hield** *was just mentioned in* [**Note #028*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) *on 2026 NBA Draft entrant Christian Anderson.*

### Note #028: Christian Anderson (Sophomore Stock-Riser)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T02:48:01.000Z
Texas Tech's **Christian Anderson**, whowas a third team All-American as a **sophomore** in 2025-26, went **19th** overall in the **2026 NBA Draft** following that super season.

In **2025-26**, Anderson averaged **18.5 PPG, 7.4 APG**, and **3.6 RPG** in 33 GP for the Red Raiders.

Since **1947-48**, the only other **two** NCAA Division I men's basketball players who averaged at least **18** PPG, **7** APG, and **3.5** RPG in their **sophomore** season were:  
  
1\. Ja Morant (2018-19) - **24.5 PPG, 10.0 APG**, 5.7 RPG  
2\. Michael Anderson *no relation* (1985-86) - 18.8 PPG, 7.3 APG, **6.5 RPG**

Let's tack on these baselines as well: **1.5+ SPG** (C. Anderson **1.5**), and **3.0+ 3P/G** (C. Anderson **3.3**). The other **five** players to meet these plus the criteria above in a **single** season:

**Seniors**  
1\. Charles Jones (1997-98) - **29.0 PPG**, 7.4 APG, **5.2 RPG, 2.9 SPG, 3.9 3P/G**  
2\. Damon Stoudamire (1994-95) - 22.8 PPG, 7.3 APG, 4.3 RPG, 1.7 SPG, **3.7 3P/G**

**Juniors**  
3\. Terrell Lowery (1990-91) - **28.5 PPG, 9.1 APG**, 4.5 RPG, 2.5 SPG, 3.3 3P/G  
4\. Marques Green (2002-03) - 21.3 PPG, 8.0 APG, 3.7 RPG, 2.6 SPG, 3.5 3P/G

**Freshmen**  
5\. Trae Young (2017-18) - **27.4 PPG, 8.7 APG**, 3.9 RPG, 1.7 SPG, **3.7 3P/G**

Christian **Anderson** is the **only sophomore** since1947-48to reach that set of **per game** marks.

Stoudamire **(46.5)**, the **7th** overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, Anderson (41.5), and Lowery (40.1) were the only **three** to shoot over **40%** from **3**. Anderson (260) had slightly more 3PA than Lowery (257) and Stoudamire (241).

For fun, another **sophomore** observation to chew on, focusing solely on offense:

The **only** other sophomore, since **1947-48**, to average **2.9+** 2P/G, **3.3+** 3P/G, **2.9+** FT/G and **6+** APG besides **Anderson**:

**Jay Williams** (2000-01) - 3.9 2P/G, 3.4 3P/G, 3.6 FT/G, 6.1 APG in 39 GP  
  
**Williams* and *Morant* are the focus of* [*Note #025*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-025-elijah-crawford-next-villanova-wildcat-weapon/) *on Villanova's Elijah Crawford. *Ja* can also be located in* [*Note #021*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-021-robert-wright-iii-dynamic-sophomore-guard-genes/) *on BYU's Robert Wright III.*

### Note #027: Massamba Diop (Zags New Z-Axis)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-027-massamba-diop-zags-new-z-axis/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T01:40:38.000Z
Former Arizona State center **Massamba Diop** entered the transfer portal following his 2025-26 **freshman** season with the Sun Devils, committing to **Gonzaga** for 2026-27.

Let's look at the **7'1"** Diop's **2025-26 shooting** splits:

- 161/271 2P/2PA **(59.4 2P%)**
- 8/26 3P/3PA **(30.8 3P%)**
- 103/144 FT/FTA **(71.5 FT%)**

The other **two** NCAA Division I **freshmen** in **2025-26** to shoot **59+** 2P% (min. 270 2PA), **30+** 3P% (min. 25 3PA), and **70+** FT% (min. 140 FTA) were:  
  
1\. Cameron Boozer - **236/384 2P/2PA** **(61.5%),** **54/138 3P/3PA (39.1%)**, **221/280 FT/FTA (78.9%)**  
2\. Hannes Steinbach - 191/309 2P/2PA **(61.8%)**, 18/53 3P/3PA (34.0%), 120/158 FT/FTA **(75.9%)**  
  
To note before moving on, **Boozer** (3rd overall)and **Steinbach** (14th) both were **2026 NBA Draft** lottery picks after their freshman seasons.

Now, if we drop the **FT** numbers entirely, only **one** other **freshmen** in **2025-26**  
shot at least **59%** from **2** (min. 270 2PA) and **30%** from **3** (min. 25 3PA):  
  
**Amon Dörries** \- 173/288 2P/2PA (60.1%), 28/84 3P/3PA (33.3%)  
  
If we just look at overall FG%, **four freshmen** in **2025-26** shot **56.5+%** from the floor on **295+** FGA, including **Diop** and **Steinbach**. The other **two**:  
  
1. **Shelton Henderson** \- 190/335 FG/FGA (56.7%)  
2. **Brandon Benjamin** \- 190/336 FG/FGA (56.5%)  
  
Let's revisit the original **2P/3P/FT** baselines from above that only **Diop**, **Boozer** and **Steinbach** hit: if we look at all **freshmen** since **1980-81** (when 3s were introduced) to reach those thresholds, only **two** additional namescome up!  
  
1\. Deandre Ayton (2017-18) - **264/416 2P/2PA (63.5%)**, 12/35 3P/3PA (34.3%), 140/191 FT/FTA (73.3%)  
2\. Kevin Love (2007-08) - 198/324 2P/2PA (61.1%), **29/82 3P/3PA** (35.4%), **198/258 FT/FTA** (76.7%)  
  
That's right: in the last **45+** years, of the only **five** instances a **freshmen** met those shooting splits, **three** of them occurred in **2025-26**.

FWIW, there were **six** **non-freshmen** in 2025-26 who met the above criteria:  
  
**Seniors**  
1\. Camren Hunter - 182/305 2P/2PA (59.7%), **75/203 3P/3PA** (36.9%), 125/157 FT/FTA (79.6%)  
2\. Bruce Thornton - 175/273 2P/2PA **(64.1%)**, **62/155 3P/3PA** **(40.0%)**, 141/170 FT/FTA **(82.9%)**  
3\. Graham Ike - **213/350 2P/2PA** (60.9%), 24/71 3P/3PA (33.8%), 118/148 FT/FTA (79.7%)  
  
**Juniors**  
4\. Dailyn Swain - 182/302 2P/2PA (60.3%), 32/93 3P/3PA (34.4%), **163/200 FT/FTA (81.5%)** 
  
**Sophomores**  
5\. [Nolan Minessale](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-026-nolan-minessale-marquette-made/) \- 184/307 2P/2PA (59.9%), 44/144 3P/3PA (30.6%), **174/232 FT/FTA** (75.0%)  
6\. Morez Johnson Jr. - 183/278 2P/2PA **(65.8%)**, 12/35 3P/3PA (34.3%), 122/156 FT/FTA (78.2%)  
  
*Again and again... (*[*Cameron Boozer references*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/)*)*

**Benjamin* is highlighted in* [*Note #016*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/) *on former UConn center Eric Reibe.*

🏀

Let's look at some of Diop's ****per game** numbers in ****2025-26** next:  
  
****13.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.1 BPG** in 29.6 MP/G (33 GP)  
  
Only ****two** other NCAA Division I men's players in ****2025-26** averaged at least 13.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2 BPG (min. 30 GP) - and they were **both** Big East ****seniors**:  
  
1\. Zuby Ejiofor - ****16.3 PPG**, 7.3 RPG, 2.1 BPG in 30.0 MP/G (37 GP)  
2\. Tarris Reed Jr. - 14.7 PPG, ****9.0 RPG**, 2.0 BPG in 27.3 MP/G (35 GP)  
  
FWIW, All ****three** also averaged ****1+ APG**:   
Ejiofor - ****3.5**  
Reed Jr. - 2.3  
Diop - 1.1  
  
Let's strip away ****PPG** entirely: only ****one** other ****freshmen** in ****2025-26**, besides ****Diop**, averaged 5.5+ RPG and 2.0+ BPG on the season:  
  
[****Najai Hines**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-009-najai-hines-freshman-statistical-analysis/) \- 5.5 RPG, 2.2 BPG in ****18.0 MP/G** (31 GP)  
  
***Reed Jr.** *, like Ike above, also gets mentioned in* [**Note #014*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-014-corey-hadnot-ii-guard-efficiency-glitch/)**.*

### Note #026: Nolan Minessale (Marquette Made)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-026-nolan-minessale-marquette-made/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T02:43:16.000Z
Former St. Thomas-Minnesota guard **Nolan Minessale** is returning home in 2026-27, committing to **Marquette University** after playing high school ball **one mile** down the street at Marquette University High School.

As a **sophomore** in **2025-26**, Minessale went nuclear for the Tommies, averaging **19.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG**, **4.3 APG,** and **5.1 FT/G,** whileshooting **50.6%** from the floor **(228/451)**.

The **only** other **sophomore**, since **1953-54**, to average at least **19.5** PPG, **4.5** RPG, **4** APG, and **5** FT/G while shooting **50+**% from the floor:  
  
**Larry Bird** (1976-1977) - **32.8 PPG, 13.3 RPG**, 4.4 APG, 6.6 FT/G, **54.5 FG% (375/689)**

Now, let's swap the **50+** FG% for another **per game** metric, **SPG**. Minessale averaged a notable **1.6** in 2025-26.

The other **six** NCAA Division I men's players, besides **Minessale** and **Bird (2.8 SPG)**, to average **19.5+** PPG, **4.5+** RPG, **4+** APG, **1.5+** SPG, and **5+** FT/G in their **sophomore** season (min. 25 GP):

**< 20 PPG**  
1\. Mark Sears (2021-22) - 19.6 PPG, **6.0 RPG**, 4.1 APG, 1.7 SPG, 5.4 FT/G

**20-24 PPG**  
2\. James Harden (2008-09) - 20.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 4.2 APG, 1.7 SPG, **5.8 FT/G**  
3, Shamorie Ponds (2017-18) - 21.6 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 4.7 APG, 2.3 SPG, 5.o FT/G

**24-26 PPG**  
4\. Ja Morant (2018-19) - 24.5 PPG, 5.7 RPG, **10.0 APG**,1.8 SPG, **6.7 FT/G**  
5\. Rodney Stuckey (2006-07) - 24.6 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 5.5 APG, **2.4 SPG**, 5.2 FT/G  
6\. Kenny Anderson (1990-91) - **25.9 PPG**, 5.7 RPG, 5.6 APG, **3.0 SPG**, 5.2 FT/G  
  
And if we swap **FT/G** for **BPG** (Minessale\- **0.6**), only **four** other **sophomores** besides himsince **1947-48** have met the above benchmarks averaging at least **0.5 BPG** as well (**Bird** and **Morant** are two of the four).

Lastly, if we remove the **SPG** and **BPG** thresholds all together, just **17** NCAA DI **sophomores** have met the **19.5+** PPG, **4.5+** RPG, **4+** APG criteria in a single season (min. 25 GP).

**Bird* just appeared in* [*Note #024*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-024-gavin-doty-siena-sophomore-ironman/) *on Gavin Doty's own sophomore takeover.*

****11.2 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.1 BPG** in 34 GP (26.3 MP/G)  
  
Of the ****22** men's NCAA DI players in ****2024-25** to average ****11+** PPG, ****3.5+** RPG, ****2+** APG, ****1+** SPG, ****1+** BPG, ****three** were ****freshmen** \- Minessale, and:

**Both were selected in the* ***2025 NBA Draft** *\- Flagg was the* ***No.1** **overall pick, Sorber* ***15th** *.*  
  
Minessale also shot ****56.2%** from the floor in ****2024-25**.  
  
Since ****1953-54**, only **three** other ****freshmen** besides Minessale averaged the ****per game** benchmarks above ****+** shot at least ****56%** from the field (min. 30 GP):  
  
1\. Zion Williamson (2018-19) - ****22.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG**, 2.1 APG, ****2.1 SPG, 1.8 BPG** in 33 GP (30.0 MP/G)

### Note #025: Elijah Crawford (Next Wildcat Weapon)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-025-elijah-crawford-next-villanova-wildcat-weapon/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T01:02:47.000Z
Former BYU and UIC guard **Elijah Crawford** entered the transfer portal following his 2025-26 sophomore season with the Flames, committing to **Villanova** for 2026-27.

From his freshman to sophomore year, Crawford more than **5x-ed** his minutes **(5.1 MP/G** to **25/8 MP/G)**, playing in roughly the same amount of games (**21** in 2024-25 at BYU, **23** in 2025-26 at UIC). 

In **2025-26**, he notched **21.8 PTS/40 MP, 7.6 AST/MP**, and was notably efficientfrom **2-point** range (100/191, **52.4%**). 

**Since** **1953-54**, the other **two** NCAA Division I men's basketball players in their **sophomore** season to record **21.5+** PTS/40 MP and **7.5+** AST/40 MP while shooting **52+%** from **2** (min. 190 2PA):  
  
**200-300 2PA**  
1\. Jay Williams (2000-01) - **27.1 PTS/40 MP**, 7.6 AST/40 MP, 52.0 2P% **(153/294)** in31.8 MP/G **(39 GP)** 
  
**300+ 2PA**  
2\. Ja Morant (2018-19) - **26.8 PTS/40 MP, 11.0 AST/40 MP, 55.6 2P% (208/374)** in **36.6 MP/G** (33 GP)

Yep, it's **Jay** and it's **Ja**. 

Of note, Crawford played **much** less than both Williams and Morant. 

He also was not particularly efficient from **3** (**27.6%**, 21/76 - but after attempting just **nine** his freshman year).   
  
Williams **(42.7%, 132/309)** and Morant (36.3%, 57/157) were much more effective from long range.

**Crawford** registered **5.5 FT/40 MP** (61/81, 75.3%) as well. 

Besides him, **Williams**, and **Morant**, only **seven** other **sophomores** since **1977-78** have posted **21.5+** PTS/40 MP, **7.5+** AST/40 MP, and **5.5+** FTA/40 MP (min. 20 GP, 500 MP).

### Note #024: Gavin Doty (Siena Sophomore Ironman)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-024-gavin-doty-siena-sophomore-ironman/
Last updated: 2026-05-26T23:26:16.000Z
Former Siena guard **Gavin Doty** has decided to follow his coach, 2003 National Champion (as a player) Gerry McNamara, from the Saints to **Syracuse** for the 2026-27 season.

As a **sophomore** with Siena in **2025-26**, Doty was a workhorse, averaging **18.0 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 2.2 APG, 4.5 FT/G** in 36.8 MP/G.

**Since** **1947-48**, there have been **57** NCAA Division I men's **sophomores** to average at least **18** PPG, **6.5** RPG, **2** APG and **4.5** FT/G. 

Of those, **ten** shot **80+%** on those **FT** attempts. They are:

**155-175 FTA**  
1\. Bubba Wells (1994-95) - 19.3 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.0 APG, 4.6 FT/G, 83.0 FT% (132/159)  
2\. Tucker Neale (1992-92) - 21.9 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.3 APG, 5.0 FT/G, 81.5 FT% (141/173)  
  
**175-199 FTA** 
**3\. Gavin Doty (2025-26) -** 18.0 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 2.2 APG, 4.5 FT/G, **85.8 FT%** (157/183)  
4\. Ryan Gomes (2002-03) - 18.4 PPG, **9.7 RPG**, 2.1 APG, 5.1 FT/G, 84.0 FT% (163/194)  
  
**200-300 FTA**  
5\. Larry Bird (1976-1977) - **32.8 PPG, 13.3 RPG, 4.4 APG**, 6.0 FT/G, 84.0 FT% (168/200)  
6\. Luke Babbitt (2009-10) - 21.9 PPG, **8.9 RPG,** 2.1 APG, 5.9 FT/G, **91.7 FT% (199/217)**  
7\. C.J. McCollum (2010-11) - 21.8 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 2.1 APG, **6.4 FT/G**, 84.5 FT% (197/233)  
8\. Charles Bradley (1982-83) - **26.7 PPG**, 6.6 RPG, 2.0 APG, 5.9 FT/G, 80.4 FT% (189/235)  
  
**300+ FTA**  
9\. Alec Burks (2010-11) - 20.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 2.9 APG, **6.6 FT/G**, 82.5 FT% (249/302)  
10\. Pete Maravich (1967-68) - **43.8 PPG (!)**, 7.5 RPG, **4.0 APG, 10.5 FT/G (!)**, 81.1 FT% **(274/338)**

And for fun/because we can't resist, the **four** **sophomores** (out of the 57 earlier) who sustained the **PPG, RPG, APG, FT/G** benchmarks across **35+ GP** are:   
  
1\. Alec Burks (38 GP)  
**2\. Gavin Doty (35 GP)**  
3\. Blake Griffin (2008-09) - **22.7 PPG, 14.4 RPG**, 2.3 APG, 5.5 FT/G (35 GP)  
4\. Caleb Swanigan (2016-17) - 18.5 PPG, **12.5 RPG,** **3.1 APG**, 4.7 FT/G (35 GP)

And if we lower that threshold **one** game to **34+ GP**, Babbitt now enters along with:  
  
1\. Lionel Simmons (1987-88) - **23.3 PPG, 11.4 RPG**, 2.5 APG, **5.8 FT/G**   
2\. Caron Butler (2001-02) - **20.3 PPG**, 7.5 RPG, **3.0 APG**, 4.6 FT/G  
3\. Jerry Stackhouse (1994-95) - 19.2 PPG, **8.2 RPG**, 2.7 APG, 5.4 FT/G

Back to just the **10** free-throw marksmen **(80+%)** from before: let's note, Doty's **4.5 FT/G** was **56th** of the **57** qualified **sophomores**, and he was **46th** in **FTA** (183).   
  
Gomes was **40th** in **FTA** (194), Bird (200) was **32nd**. Maravich (338) and Burks (302) were **1st** and **3rd**, respectively. 

Doty was **57th PPG**, **t-46th RPG** (his **5.5 DRB/G** was **18th**), and he was   
**t-39th APG**. 

**Thirty-eight** of the 57 attempted a **3** \- of those that did, Doty was **one** of **seven** to average at least **1.3 3P/G** (46/141, **32.6%**). 

**Charles Bradley* also gets a ref in* [*Note #005*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-005-juke-harris-ray-allen-sophomore-leap/) *on Juke Harris.* 

**Butler* and *Swanigan* receive shoutouts in* [*Note #007*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-007-isaac-celiscar-sophomore-statistical-analysis/) *on Isaac Celiscar.*

🏀

Let's look deeper at the ****2025-26** season:  
  
There were ****18** NCAA Division I men's players (all classes) to average at least ****18 PPG** and ****6.5 RPG**.  
  
If we tack on ****2+ APG**, the list narrows to ****11**.  
  
Add ****4.5+ FT/G** as well, and we're down to ****eight**. Here they are (by class):  
  
****Seniors**  
1\. Keyshawn Hall - 19.3 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 2.6 APG, ****6.3 FT/G**

8\. Caleb Wilson - 19.8 PPG, ****9.4 RPG**, 2.7 APG, 5.4 FT/G  
  
For fun, if we include Doty's ****1.3 SPG** as a threshold as well, only freshmen ****Boozer** and ****Wilson** remain with him.  
  
**This* ***Boozer** *guy won't go away! (*[**all Cameron Boozer references*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/tag/cameron-boozer/)**).*

### Note #023: Dwayne Aristode (Efficient Freshman Hybrid)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-023-dwayne-aristode-efficient-scoring-hybrid/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T00:54:22.000Z
Former Arizona Wildcat **Dwayne Aristode** entered the transfer portal following his 2025-26 **freshman** season in Tucson, committing to **Oregon** for 2026-27\. 

In 2025-26, Aristode registered **11.5 PTS/40 MP** (in 13.3 MP/G, 35 GP). He did not have incredible volume (2.7 FGA/G), but shot an efficient **46.2%** from **3 (30/65)** and **54.8%** from **2 (17/31)**. 

**Since 1980-81**, the other **five** NCAA Division I men's players to notch 11.5+ PTS/40 MP while shooting at least **46%** from **3** (min. 65 3PA) and **54%** from **2** (min. 30 2PA) as a **freshman** (min. 30 GP) are:

**100-150 FGA**  
1\. John Leahy (1991-92) - 13.6 PTS/40 MP (20.7 MP/G), **56.1 3P%** (46/82) and 55.3 2P% (21/38) on 120 FGA  
2\. Phil Booth (2014-15) - 16.1 PTS/40 MP (14.5 MP/G), 48.5 3P% (32/66) and   
**64.5 2P% (40/62)** on 128 FGA  
3\. Darin Smith Jr. (2024-25) - 15.1 PTS/40 MP (18.1 MP/G), 46.3 3P% (37/80) and **58.0 2P%** (40/69) on 149 FGA

**150-330 FGA**  
4\. Reed Sheppard (2023-24) - 17.2 PTS/40 MP (28.9 MP/G), **52.1 3P% (75/144)** and 55.5 2P% (66/119) on **263 FGA** 
  
**330+ FGA**  
5\. Jaycee Carroll (2004-05) - **19.3 PTS/40 MP** (30.4 MP/G), **47.6 3P% (79/166)** and **57.0 2P% (94/165)** on **331 FGA**

Aristode **(6' 8"),** and listed at **guard** (per Sports Reference, forward elsewhere)**,** is the **tallest** of those above. The others:  
  
Smith Jr. - 6' 7" forward  
Leahy - 6' 7" forward  
Sheppard - 6' 3" guard  
Booth - 6' 3" guard  
Carroll - 6' 2" guard

---

🏀

Let's just look at the ****2025-26** season, and deeper into Aristode's **3-point** shooting (****46.2%**, 30/65).  
  
Only ****two** other NCAA Division I ****freshmen** in 2025-26 shot at least ****45%** from ****3** on ****65+** 3PA:  
  
1\. Andrej Shoshkikj - 45.1 3P% (46/102)  
2\. Lilian Marville - ****52.2 3P%** (48/92)  
  
****Shoshkikj** is a ****6' 2"** guard, ****Marville** a ****6'1"** guard.  
  
FWIW, all ****three** have ****international** roots: Aristode (Netherlands), Shoshkikj (North Macedonia), Marville (France)  
  
For fun, if we drop the ****3P%** threshold down to ****43.8**, our friends ****Darius** ****Acuff Jr.** (referenced in [Note #003](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) on Keaton Wagler/ [Note #010](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-010-alex-wilkins-freshman-lead-guard/) on Alex Wilkins) and [Note #006](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-006-jake-hall-freshman-season-analysis/) feature ****Jake Hall** would be the others to make the list:  
  
1\. Jake Hall - 43.8 3P% ****(117/267)**  
2\. Darius Acuff, Jr. - 44.0 3P% ****(91/207)**

### Note #022: Aday Mara (7'3" Playmaking Unicorn)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-022-aday-mara-playmaking-unicorn/
Last updated: 2026-06-24T01:28:10.000Z
Michigan **7'3"** center **Aday Mara** captured a 2026 National Championship with the Wolverines, then headed for the NBA, where he was selected **12th** overall in the **2026 Draft**.

Below are Mara's **sophomore 2024-25** season (at UCLA), and **junior 2025-26** season (at Michigan), **per 40** metrics:  
  
**2024-25**  
19.6 PTS/40 MP, 12.3 TRB/40 MP, 4.9 BLK/40 MP, 3.2 AST/40 MP in 33 GP (13.1 MP/G)  
  
**2025-26**  
20.7 PTS/40 MP, 11.5 TRB/40 MP, 4.4 BLK/40 MP, 4.1 AST/40 MP in 40 GP (23.4 MP/G)

Let's start with his **2025-26** numbers: the combination of **4.4 BLK/40 MP** and **4.1 AST/40 MP** sticks out. 

If we just filter by these **two** criteria, **since 1947-48**, only **one** other player in NCAA Division I men's basketball had a season with **4+** BLK/40 MP and **4+** AST 40/MP:  
  
**Oliver Miller** (1990-91) - 4.8 BLK/40 MP, 4.4 AST/40 MP (38 GP, 24.5 MP/G)

Let's go deeper into Miller's **1990-91** season. In addition to the blocks and assists, he also produced **25.6 PTS/40 MP** and **12.6 TRB/40 MP.**

Thiscampaign is the **only** individual season, **since 1947-48**, to meet Mara's sophomore (**19.5+** PTS/40 MP, **12+** TRB/40 MP, **4.5+** BLK/40 MP, **3+** AST/40 MP) **OR** junior (**20.5+** PTS/40 MP, **11.5+** TRB/40 MP, **4+** BLK/40 MP, **4+** AST/40 MP) season benchmarks (min. 30 GP).  
  
**Miller** would play one more season at Arkansas after his junior year above; he was eventually selected **22nd** overallin the **1992 NBA Draft.**

Also of note, as a **freshman** at UCLA, Mara's **per 40** metrics:   
14.5 PTS/40 MP, 8.1 TRB/40 MP, 3.0 BLK/40 MP, 2.2 AST/40 MP in 28 GP (9.6 MP/G)  
  
Only **thirty-two** other NCAA Division I men's players hit those benchmarks (**14.5+** PTS/40 MP, **8+** TRB/40 MP, **3+** BLK/40 MP, **2+** AST/40 MP) in their **freshman** season (min. 28 GP).

---

🏀

Let's take a closer look at Mara's ****per game** numbers and ****shooting** splits in his ****junior** 2025-26 season: ****12.1** PPG****, 6.8** RPG****, 2.6** BPG (****103** BLK total), ****2.4** APG (****97** AST total).  
  
In ****2025-26**, the ****two** other NCAA Division I men's players besides Mara to average at least ****12** PPG, ****6.5** RPG, and ****2.5** BPG:  
  
1\. [Flory Bidunga](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-002-flory-bidunga-historical-stat-line-efficiency/) \- 13.3 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 2.6 BPG  
2\. Kyle Evans - 12.1 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 3.3 BPG  
  
Mara also shot ****68.0%** from ****2** (on 291 2PA) + ****66.8%** from the floor ****overall** (301 FGA).  
  
Since **1974-75**, here are the ****three** NCAA Division I men's basketball players besides Mara in 2025-26, to shoot ****66.5%** or better on ****300+** FGA + have at least ****100** blocks in a ****single** season:  
  
1\. Hakeem Olajuwon (1983-84) - 67.5 FG% (369 FGA), ****207 BLK**  
2\. Brandon Clarke (2018-19) - 68.7 FG% (374 FGA), 117 BLK  
3\. Oliver Miller (1990-91) - ****70.4 FG%** (361 FGA), 103 BLK  
  
And the ****only** other NCAA Division I men's player who shot at least ****68%** from ****2**\-point range on ****290+** 2PA and had ****95+** assists in a ****single** season besides ****Mara** in 2025-26 and ****Miller** in 1990-91 (70.7 2P% (358 2PA), 103 AST):  
  
The ****No. 1** pick in the **1991 NBA Draft:**  
****Larry Johnson** (1990-91) - 69.8 2P% (417 2PA), 104 AST  
  
***Olajuwon** *has surfaced a few times:* [**Note #002*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-002-flory-bidunga-historical-stat-line-efficiency/) *on Flory Bidunga's historically-efficient sophomore year, and* [**Note #011*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-011-oswin-erhunmwunse-historical-center-efficiency/) *on Oswin Erhunmwunse's own historic metrics.*

Let's go deeper into ****2025-26**, and focus more on Haugh's   
****2P** efficiency (****56.8%** ****on 222 2PA**, 32.6% on 178 3PA).  
  
The other ****two** NCAA Division I men's players in 2025-26, besides Haugh, to average at least **17** PPG, ****6** RPG, ****2** APG, ****1** SPG, ****1** BPG while shooting at least ****55%** from ****2**\-point range:

### Note #017: Drew Fielder (6'11" Efficiency Engine)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-017-drew-fielder-stretch-scoring-engine/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:05:46.000Z
Former Boise State Bronco and Georgetown Hoya **Drew Fielder** has again entered the transfer portal, committing to **Alabama** for 2026-27.

In his first and only year at Boise St., as a **junior** in **2025-26**, Fielder averaged **24.8 PTS/40 MP** (14.5 PPG, 23.7 MP/G) while shooting **60.6%** from **2** (131/216) and **40.9%** from **3** (38/93) in 32 GP.

Since **1980-81**, the NCAA Division I men's players to post at least **24.5** PTS/40 MP on **60.5** 2P% (min. 215 2PA) and **40.5** 3P% (min. 90 3PA) are:  
  
**28+ PTS/40 MP**  
1\. Doug McDermott (2011-12) - **28.7 PTS/40 MP** (31.9 MP/G), 63.3 2P% (253/400), **48.6 3P%** (54/111)  
2\. Calbert Cheaney (1990-91) - **28.5 PTS/40 MP** (30.3 MP/G), 62.4 2P% (246/394), **47.3 3P%** (43/91)  
  
**28-26 PTS/40 MP**  
3\. Ryan Davis (2021-2022) - 26.3 PTS/40 MP (26.4 MP/G), **66.1 2P%** (152/230), 44.1 3P% (45/102)  
4\. Jamal Mashburn (1991-92) - 26.1 PTS/40 MP (32.7 MP/G), 61.4 2P% (221/360), **43.9 3P% (58/132)** 
  
**26-25 PTS/40MP**  
5\. Jeff Hodge (1988-89) - 25.7 PTS/40 MP (33.8 MP/G), 61.1 2P% (220/360), 48.1 3P% (52/108)  
6\. Dylan Windler (2018-19) - 25.6 PTS/40 MP (33.2 MP/G), **65.9 2P%** (143/217), **42.9 3P% (100/233)**

**< 25 PTS/40 MP** 
**7\. Drew Fielder (2025-26) -** 24.8 PTS/40 MP (23.7 MP/G), 60.6 2P% (131/216), 40.9 3P% (38/93)

FWIW, no player listed **except** Fielder (**6' 11"**) is taller than **6'8"**.  
  
Also of note, in his **2024-25 sophomore** season at Georgetown, Fielder's MP/G and GP (23.5, 31) were almost identical to his junior year at Boise, **but his PTS/40 MP** was only **12.1** that season. 

His **3-point** shooting, which was **40.7%** (22/54) as a freshman at G'Town, dipped to **25.0%** (18/74) his sophomore year before rebounding in a big way in 2025-26 (**on 19 more attempts**).

**McDermott* is also highlighted in* [*Note #012*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-012-eian-elmer-statistical-shooting-outlier/) *on Eian Elmer's three-year college shooting exhibit.*

🏀

If we lower the ****2P%** threshold a **tick* to ****60.4**, enters:  
  
1989 NBA Draft 4th overall pick:  
****Glen Rice** (1988-89) - ****30.2** PTS/40 MP **(34.0 MP/G), 60.4** 2P% **(264/437!), 51.6** 3P% **(99/192)**

****Matt Rogers** (2024-25) **\-** 25.2 PTS 40/MP (26.6 MP/G), ****65.0 2P% (225/403)**, 40.3 3P% (60/149)

### Note #016: Eric Reibe (Donovan Clingan Connection II)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-016-eric-reibe-freshman-donovan-clingan-connection-ii/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:09:26.000Z
Former **UConn** Husky center **Eric Reibe** has entered the transfer portal after his freshman 2025-26 season, committing to **USC** for 2026-27.

In **2025-26**, Reibe averaged **5.9 PPG** and **3.3 RPG** in just **13.8 MP/G**. He shot an efficient **65.8% (104/158)** from the floor in 40 GP.

The **only** other NCAA Division I men's player, since **1953-54**, to average at least **5.5** PPG, **3.0** RPG, and shoot **65+%** from the field (min. **155** FGA) in **less** than **14** MP/G is **UConn's** very own:

**Donovan Clingan (2022-23) -** 6.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 65.5 FG% (112/171),   
**13.1** MP/G (39 GP)

Clingan was also a **freshman** when he hit Reibe's numbers. 

If we **drop** the FG% threshold *slightly* to **64.5%**, the only other **freshman** to meet the criteria is another former **Big East** center:

**Ryan Kalkbrenner (2020-21) -** 5.9 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 64.5 FG% (80/124),   
13.8 MP/G (31 GP)

Clingan was selected **7th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft**, while Kalkbrenner went **34th** overall in **2025**.

*We made another *Clingan* connection in* [*Note #009, on former Seton Hall and new UConn center Najai Hines*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-009-najai-hines-freshman-statistical-analysis/)*.*

Let's look at some of Reibe's 2025-26 ****per 40** metrics:  
  
****17.2 PTS/40 MP, 9.5 TRB/40 MP, 2.1 BLK/MP**  
  
He shot a particularly efficient ****69.0% from 2**, hitting on 100/145 FGA's inside the arc.  
  
The ****five** NCAA Division I men's players, ****since** ****1953-54**, with ****17+** PTS/40 MP, ****9.5+** TRB/40 MP, and ****2+** BLK/40 MP while shooting ****69%** or better from ****2** in their ****freshman** season (min. 30 GP) are:

The ****only** other NCAA Division I men's basketball player to shoot at least ****39%** from ****3** (min. 175 3PA) and at least ****60%** from ****2** (min. 120 2PA) that season: ****Nebraska** junior **Pryce Sandfort**.

### Note #014: Corey Hadnot II (Positional Scoring Glitch)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-014-corey-hadnot-ii-guard-efficiency-glitch/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:12:26.000Z
Former Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodon **Corey Hadnot II** entered the transfer portal after his **junior** 2025-26 season, committing to the **Houston** Cougars for 2026-27.

In **2025-26**, Hadnot II averaged **20.4 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.5 APG**, and shot an efficient **60.3%** on **312 2PA** (he also shot 57/159 from 3 (35.8%), 52% overall). 

Here are the other NCAA Division I men's **individual seasons**, since **1953-54**, where a player averaged **20** PPG, **4** RPG, **3.5** APG, and shot at least **60%** on **300+** 2PA:  
  
**Sorted by 2PA (descending)**  
1\. Reggie Williams (2006-07) - **28.1 PPG**, 8.0 RPG, 4.4 APG, **65.8 2P% (398 2PA!)**  
2\. Cameron Boozer (2025-26) - 22.5 PPG, **10.2 RPG**, 4.1 APG, 61.5 2P% (384 2PA)  
3\. Nathan Knight (2018-19) - 21.0 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 3.5 APG, 61.6 2P% (367 2PA)  
4\. Reggie Williams (2007-08) - **27.8 PPG**, 9.7 RPG, 3.9 APG, **63.7%** (355 2PA)  
  
A few things:  
  
Yes, VMI's **Reggie Williams**, who led NCAA Division I men in scoring (**PPG**) in each season listed above, did it **twice.**

Back to **Hadnot II**: what's notable to me is that Williams (6'6" forward), Boozer (6' 9" forward), and Knight (6'10" forward) are a) different positions and b) **much taller** than the **6'3" guard** Hadnot II.   
  
And, for fun, if we slightly drop the **300+** 2PA qualifier to **295+** 2PA, enters:  
  
**Kerry Kittles** (1994-95) **\-** 21.4 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 3.5 APG, 60.3 2P% (295 2PA)  
  
The **6'5" guard** Kittles played one more year at Villanova after his junior season above, eventually going **8th overall** in the **1996 NBA Draft.**  
  
Lastly, chances are, it's a Cameron Boozer note: ([Note #003](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/), [Note #004](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-004-tre-singleton-per-40-statistical-analysis/))

---

🏀

In 2025-26, ****eight** NCAA Division I men's basketball players, including Hadnot II and Boozer, shot at least ****60%** from **2** on ****310+ 2PA**, they were:  
  
****Sorted by height (descending)**  
Tarris Reed, Jr. - 6'10'' center  
Hank Alvey - 6'9" forward  
****Cameron Boozer** ****\- 6'9" forward**  
Logan Duncomb - 6'9" center  
Graham Ike - 6'9" forward  
Leonardo Bettiol - 6'8" forward  
Ethan Potter - 6'8" forward

### Note #012: Eian Elmer (Three-Year Shooting Show)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-012-eian-elmer-statistical-shooting-outlier/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:16:25.000Z
Former Miami (OH) basketball player **Eian Elmer**, who helped lead the school to an **undefeated regular season** in **2025-26**, entered the transfer portal following the RedHawks historic year and will play for Wisconsin in 2026-27\. 

Elmer's high and generally consistent **3PT%** and **FG%** across his three collegiate seasons stood out to me, especially on increasing shooting volume.   
  
**Eian Elmer Shooting Stats**  
Freshman (2023-24) - 25/62 from 3 (40.3 3PT%), 86-164 overall (52.4 FG%)  
Sophomore (2024-25) - 58/145 from 3 (40.0 3PT%), 134-283 overall (47.3 FG%)  
Junior (2025-26) - 72/168 from 3 (42.9 3PT%), 142-285 overall (49.8 FG%)  
  
**Since 1980-81:**  
\# of NCAA Division I men's players, as **freshmen**, to shoot: at least **40%** from **3** on **60+** 3PAand at least **52%** on **160+** FGA: **22**  
  
\# of NCAA Division I men's players, as **sophomores**, to shoot: at least **40%** from **3** on **145+** 3PA and at least **47%** on **280+** FGA: **82**  
  
\# of NCAA Division I men's players, as **juniors**, to shoot: at least **42.5%** from **3** on **165+** 3PA and at least **49.5%** on **285+** FGA: **28**

Only a select few each season hit Elmer's rare shooting baselines. But **no one met his benchmarks all three years.** 
  
**Mike Daum,** South Dakota State legend and **3x** Summit League Player of the Year, was the **only** player who met both Elmer's **freshman** and **sophomore** year thresholds. He didn't qualify for Elmer's **junior** season numbers, but he only missed on **FG%** (46.5) while taking **591 FGA** compared to Elmer's **285**. 

---

🏀

For fun, a few others (from the group of ****22**) that met Elmer's ****freshman** year shooting marks, but didn't repeat it:  
  
****James Harden** \- in his ****2008-09** ****sophomore** season he cleared all of Elmer's sophomore shooting criteria except ****3PT%** (****35.6**, both players hit ****58** threes but Elmer did it on ****15** less attempts). Harden declared for the **2009** NBA Draft after that year and was selected ****3rd** overall.  
  
****Doug McDermott -** in his ****2011-12 sophomore** campaign he met all of Elmer's sophomore shooting criteria except ****3PA** (****111**, but shot a blistering ****48.6%** from **3**), and in his ****2012-13 junior** year, he met all of Elmer's junior shooting thresholds except ****3PA** again (****157** (almost qualified), + he scorched the nets again with a ****49.0 3PT%**).  
  
***Lonzo Ball** *(*[**Note #013*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-013-nikolas-khamenia-freshman-statistical-footprint/) *on Nikolas Khamenia),* ***Tony Bennett** *(*[**Note #010*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-010-alex-wilkins-freshman-lead-guard/) *on Alex Wilkins' monster 2025-26 freshman season) and* ***John Konchar** *(*[**Note #007*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-007-isaac-celiscar-sophomore-statistical-analysis/) *on Isaac Celiscar's efficient sophomore year) also met Elmer's criteria as freshmen.*

URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-011-oswin-erhunmwunse-historical-center-efficiency/
Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:17:57.000Z
Former Providence College center **Oswin Erhunmwunse** entered the transfer portal after his 2025-26 season with the Friars, committing to another Big East school, **Creighton** University, for the 2026-27 season. 

As a **sophomore** in **2025-26**, Erhunmwunse averaged **6.9 PPG, 8.3 RPG, and 2.1 BPG**, while shooting **67.3%** on **147 FGA**. 

Since 1953-54, only **seven** NCAA Division I men's basketball players have averaged at least **6.5** PPG, **8** RPG, and **2** BPG while shooting greater than **65%** on **145+** FGA as a **sophomore**:  
  
**145-200 FGA** 
**1\. Oswin Erhunmwunse (2025-26)** \- 6.9 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 2.1 BPG, 67.3% (147 FGA)  
  
**200-300 FGA**  
2\. Mike Watkins (2017-18) - 12.1 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.3 BPG, 68.5 FG% (213 FGA)  
3\. Kevin Samuel (2019-20) - 10.0 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 2.7 BPG, 65.3 FG% (216 FGA)  
**4\. Tacko Fall (2016-17)** \- 10.9 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 2.6 BPG, **71.5 FG%** (235 FGA)  
5\. Warren Kidd (1990-91) - 13.4 PPG, **12.3 RPG**, 2.3 BPG, **70.0 FG%** (247 FGA)

6\. Daniel Gafford (2018-19) - **16.9 PPG**, 8.7 RPG, 2.0 BPG, 66.0 FG% (324 FGA)  
7\. Rasheed Wallace (1994-95) - **16.6 PPG**, 8.2 RPG, **2.7 BPG**, 65.4 FG% (364 FGA)  
  
Erhunmwunse had the **fewest FGA** by a solid margin, and was the **only** player not to average **double-figure** points.

---

🏀

In some ways, Erhunmwunse's ****2024-25 freshman** year at Providence jumps out even more: he averaged ****6.8** PPG, ****5.6** RPG, and ****1.6** BPG in ****20.1** minutes per game, plus shot an even higher ****72.3%** from the floor ****(130 FGA)**.   
  
Since 1953-54, just ****five** other NCAA Division I men's players in their ****freshman** season averaged at least ****6.5** PPG, ****5.5** RPG, ****1.5** BPG in ****20.1** MP/G or less + shot at least ****60%** (min. 125 FGA):  
  
****125-150 FGA**  
1\. Tacko Fall (2015-16) - 7.4 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 2.3 BPG, ****75.0 FG%** (128 FGA)  
2\. Najai Hines (2025-26) - 6.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2.2 BPG, 60.2 FG% (133 FGA)  
  
****150-200 FGA**  
3\. Hakeem Olajuwon (1981-82) - 8.3 PPG, ****6.2 RPG, 2.5 BPG,** 60.7 FG% (150 FGA)  
4\. Donovan Clingan (2022-23) - 6.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.8 BPG, ****65.5 FG%** (171 FGA)  
  
****200+ FGA**  
5\. Zach Collins (2016-17) - ****10.0 PPG**, 5.9 RPG, 1.8 BPG, ****65.2 FG% (207 FGA)**  
  
**We have an entire post centered around* ***Hines** *(*[**Note #009, detailing his historical per 40 metrics at Seton Hall*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-009-najai-hines-freshman-statistical-analysis/)**).* ***Fall** **and* ***Clingan** *are mentioned there, too.*

### Note #008: Acaden Lewis (Two-Way Freshman Impact)
URL: https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-008-acaden-lewis-freshman-statistical-analysis/
Last updated: 2026-07-11T14:25:24.000Z
Former Villanova guard **Acaden Lewis** entered the transfer portal after one year with the Wildcats, and has **committed to Miami (FL)** for the 2026-27 season. 

As a freshman in **2025-26**, Lewis averaged **12.2 PPG, 5.3 APG, 3.0 RPG**, and **1.9 SPG**, while shooting **53.3% from 2** (244 2PA) and **45.8%** (340 FGA) overall from the floor.

Here are the other NCAA Division I men's basketball players, **since 1953-54**, who averaged at least **12** PPG, **5** APG, **3** RPG, **1.5** SPG while shooting at least **50%** from **2**\-point range (min. 240 2PA) and **45%** (min. 340 FGA) **overall** as a **freshman**:

**340-400 FGA**  
1\. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2017-18) - 14.4 PPG, 5.1 APG, 4.1 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 50.0 2P% (320 2PA) and **48.5 FG%** (377 FGA)  
  
**400-450 FGA**  
2\. Dennis Smith Jr. (2016-17) - 18.1 PPG, 6.2 APG, 4.6 RPG, 1.9 SPG, 50.9 2P% (267 2PA) and 45.5 FG% (420 FGA)  
3\. John Wall (2009-10) - 16.6 PPG, **6.5 APG**, 4.3 RPG, 1.8 SPG, 50.9 2P% (324 2PA) and 46.1 FG% (438 FGA)  
4\. Markelle Fultz (2016-17) - **23.2 PPG**, 5.9 APG, **5.7 RPG**, 1.6 SPG, 50.2 2P% (313 2PA) and 47.6 FG% (439 FGA)  
  
**450-500 FGA**  
5\. Kingston Flemings (2025-26) - 16.1 PPG, 5.2 APG, 4.1 RPG, 1.5 SPG, 50.3 2P% (360 2PA) and **47.6 FG%** (466 FGA)  
6\. Danny Ainge (1977-78) - **21.1 PPG**, 5.3 APG, **5.8 RPG**, 2.0 SPG, **51.4 2P%/FG%** (473 2PA/FGA)  
  
**500+ FGA**  
7\. Kenny Anderson (1989-90) - **20.6 PPG, 8.1 APG**, 5.5 RPG, **2.3 SPG, 54.4 2P% (432 FGA)** and **51.5 FG% (549 FGA)**  
  
Of note, of **six** that took **100+ 3PA** in their respective season, **Lewis** was the **least efficient** (27-100, **27.0%**) - the other **five**:   
  
Flemings - 41/106 3P/3PA, 38.7%  
Wall - 37/114 3P/3PA, 32.5%  
Anderson - 48/117 3P/3PA, **41.0%**  
Fultz - 52/126 3P/3PA, **41.3%**  
Smith Jr. - 55/153 3P/3PA, 35.9%  
  
Barely missing the cut was **2007** NBA Draft **19th** overall pick **Javaris Crittenton,** who as a **freshman** in **2006-07** met all Lewis baselines except the **2P%** threshold:  
  
**14.4** PPG, **5.8** APG, **3.7** RPG, **2.0** SPG, **45.0** FG% on **351** FGA and **48.8 2P%** on 250 2PA   
  
He entered the draft after his lone season at **Georgia Tech**.  
  
We also wanted to include **1990** NBA Draft **2nd** overall pick **Gary Payton** so we're going to: as a **freshman** in **1986-87** (**12.5** PPG, **7.6** APG, **4.0** RPG, **1.9** SPG) he was just shy on qualifying **FGA** (333, 45.9%), and missed on **2P%** (47.0, 298 2PA).

*We also mentioned *Fultz* and *Anderson* in* [*Note #003 about 2026 NBA Draft prospect Keaton Wagler.*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/)

Portland's ****Joel Foxwell -** 15.6 PPG, 6.5 APG, 4.3 RPG, 1.5 SPG  
  
****Foxwell** entered the transfer portal after playing ****one** year with the Pilots, committing to ****Arizona State** for 2026-27.

Last updated: 2026-05-19T01:29:37.000Z
Former Wake Forest basketball player **Juke Harris** entered the transfer portal following his **sophomore** 2025-26 season with the Demon Deacons, committing to **Tennessee** for 2026-27\. 

In **2025-26**, Harris averaged **21.4 PPG, 6.5 RPG,** and buried **87 three-pointers**. 

There is only **one** other NCAA Division I male, since **1980-81**, who averaged at least **21** PPG, **6.5** RPG, and made **80+ threes** in their **sophomore** season:  
  
**Ray Allen** (1994-95) **\-** 21.1 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 85 threes made  
  
**Allen**, however, had a considerably **higher 3P%** compared to **Harris**:   
  
Allen: 85/191 **(44.5%)**, Harris: 87/262 **(33.2%)**

---

🏀

As a ****freshman** in ****2024-25**, ****Harris** appeared in ****31** games averaging ****6.1** PPG and ****2.8** RPG in ****19 minutes** per game.   
  
He made considerable **leaps** in ****PPG (+15.3)** and ****RPG (+3.7)** from his ****freshman** to ****sophomore** season.  
  
The NCAA men's players to go from averaging ****6.5 PPG** or ****less** their ****freshman** year to **21 PPG** or **more** their ****sophomore** year (min. 30 GP both seasons) are:  
  
****1\. Juke Harris (2024-25 to 2025-26)** \= 6.1 PPG > 21.4 PPG  
2\. Ben Stanley (2018-19 to 2019-20) = 4.4 PPG > 22.0 PPG  
3\. Grayson Allen (2014-15 to 2015-16) = 4.4 PPG > 21.4 PPG  
4\. Ben Bentil (2014-15 to 2015-16) = 6.4 PPG > 21.1 PPG  
  
If we slightly increase the ****6.5** PPG ****freshman** average to ****7.5 PPG** or **less** (still min. 30 GP both seasons), ****2022** NBA Draft ****4th** overall pick **Keegan Murray** enters the fold:   
  
2020-21 to 2021-22 = ****7.2 PPG** \> **23.5 PPG**  
  
**\*Just missing both of these parameter sets is* ***David Robinson** *(also referenced in* [**Note #002 on Flory Bidunga's historical efficiency*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-002-flory-bidunga-historical-stat-line-efficiency/)**), who had a similar freshman-to-sophomore leap (1983-84 to 1984-85): 7.6 PPG > 23.6 PPG (32 GP as sophomore, 28 GP as freshman).*   
  
***Charles Bradley** *(1981-82 to 1982-83) also did: 5.0 PPG > 26.7 PPG (32 GP as sophomore, 28 GP as freshman).*
