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)

**Smith**, like **Brown Jr.**, played for **Louisville**.

Now, for fun, if we **remove** the **MP/G** threshold, here are the **four sophomores** in **2025-26** to qualify (Brown Jr. was the **only frosh** again):  
  
1\. [**Robert Wright III**](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-021-robert-wright-iii-dynamic-sophomore-guard-genes/) \- 18.1 PPG, 4.6 APG, 3.5 RPG, 1.2 SPG (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G)
