Next year's leading scorer

Going with Ahmed

Mussini

Im going to say Mussini because I haven't see any of the other guys play. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Ahmed, ponds or Lovett. Mussini will be playing off the ball next year and will have many more open 3's so I will go with him.

If Mussini is the leading scorer next year we are well and truly screwed.

Most accurate thing ever posted on  a ST John's basketball forum

Guards will be scoring 80% of the points. Mussini and Lovett should both have no problem hitting double-digits. Ahmed is probably the best bet to lead the way, but we are probably talking 13-16 ppg territory.

Ponds is an alpha scorer...just a matter of when that starts. I think he'll threaten 20 ppg more than once in his career.

LoVett, most minutes, assists, and points.

Ahmed, Mussini, Ponds in that order. Sima may end up in the top 3 too next year.

No Lovett? I think he will be really good.

I do too, but I think moreso as a facilitator then a scorer early on.

AHmed.  Guard position minutes will be split up 3 or 4 ways but Ahmed will get a solid 30-33.  If only 3 guards sharing time Ponds may sneak in.

Question is will Bashir Ahmed be Bootsy Thornton or James Scott? You never know with jucos.

You guys underestimate Mussini. He is a freshman and the only one who can dribble up the court. With Lovett, this kid will explode

What was wrong with James Scott? Loved me some James Scott.

Would be far and away our best player

If Mussini can shoot - he looks like he can but they don't go in and we've had players who look like they could shoot before - what else does he do well. Seriously. He's small, weak, and slow, both of foot and witted. His handle is sketchy. He rebounds pretty good for his size. He has quick hands. He's sneaky quick going to the basket. I don't doubt that he'll be a fine four year player but explode? As a freshman Gerry McNamara (cause he's white) was ten times the player Mussini is, he never exploded.

I think Gerry Mac had to play point his 4 years?  It's tough getting your shot off as a freshman point, and SJU doesn't havent anything resembling Carmello. Right now, I see Ahmed as a question mark(eligibility wise) and Ponds and Lovett haven't set foot on the college court yet.

Playing off the ball with better players will def help Mussini but the fact that a 6-0 165 pound guy is really a true two guard does limit his future expectations.

Loved James Scott, he was money his senior year. Dopey Brian Mahoney. Felipe Lopez, Zendon, Roshown McLeod, Rowan Barrett, Charles MInlend, Scott and Tarik Turner went 14 and 14. And I didn't even mention Tom Bayne. They'd beat this team 99 times out of 100.

Other than taking set shots that look like they should go in, what does he do well.
