I have just been noticing it seems like there are not as many stars/big name guys who are the face of their team this year...guys that scare you and require you game plan around them. Maybe it just feels that way because the Griz have not had a go to guy the last few years, but looking around the league it just doesn't seem like there are a lot of guys who can put up 20 against anybody much less average 20...maybe thats why the league has been getting hammered by bigger conferences cause there are not a lot of guys who can get theirs even when stepping up in competition.
So I guess my question is the BigSky especially lacking in star power this year? Where are the stand out/Stars. A few years ago it seemed like 50% of the teams/the top half of the conference had A GUY/A stud who could carry his respective team and could put up 19-20pts on a nightly basis i.e....
Weber (Lillard, Bolomboy, Jermy Senglin, Jerick Harding)
Montana (Ever since Cherry we've had a guy)
Montana St. (Tyler Hall, Harold Frey)
EWU (4 of last 5 BigSky MVPs)
Portland State (Holland Woods)
UNC (Jordan Davis, Andre Spieght, Bodie Hume)
This year it just seems like the other teams are like the Griz and the sort of have a Default "the guy" someone who is slightly the best player who ends up averaging (a Pedestrian) 13-16pts per game based mostly on volume rather than scoring talent.
Right now in BigSky there are only 4 teams with guys averaging more than 17 which I would grant is better than pedestrian and indicates some consistent explosive ability.
UNC-Daylen Kountz Sr. (18.7 ppg) Transfer from Colorado
NAU-Jalen Cone Soph. (17.8 ppg) Transfer from Virginia Tech
WSU-Koby McEwen Sr. (17.5 ppg) Transfer from Marquette/Utah St.
EWU-Steel Venters Fr. (17.3) Of course EWU has a home grown Frosh challenging for top scorer in Conf
REST OF CONFERENCE
Idaho-Mikey Dixon Sr. (16.3 ppg) Transfer from GCU/SJU/QUIN
Sac St.-Bryce Folwer Sr. (16.3 ppg)
SUU-John Knight Sr. (15.4 ppg) Tranfer from Utah St.
Jubrilo Bello Jr. (13.7 ppg)
PSU-James Jean Sr. (12.9 ppg) Transfer from USD/HAW
UM-Josh Bannan Soph. (12.3 ppg)
ISU-Robert Ford Jr. (10.9 ppg)
Yes I am only looking at scoring so the angle I'm looking from is shallow...let me know if there are some true stars I am overlooking or undervaluing.
