During conference play (19 games including tournament), Deonte played double-digit minutes in 11 games, his most minutes in the tournament game against Xavier (24) and the first conference game against Creighton (20). Those are the only two times he got 20 or more minutes.

During those 11 games, Deonte averaged 16.1 mpg.

During those 16.1 minutes, he averaged 11.1 ppg.

An average of 11.1 ppg would have put him in the Top 25 (24th) in scoring in the conference.

Extrapolated to 25 mpg, that would come to 17.3 ppg, which would have been tied for 6th in the conference behind McDermott (33.7 mpg), Cotton (41.9 mpg), Christon (36.8 mpg), Starks (37.4 mpg), Smith-Rivera (37.0 mpg), Young (35.3 mpg), and tied him with Harrison (35.1 mpg).

Extrapolated to 30 mpg, DB's ppg would have been 20.6 ppg, which would have ranked 3rd in the conference behind only McDermott and Cotton.

(DB needs to improve his conditioning, but I think 25 mpg next year is reasonable and 30 mpg is not out of the question.)

In those 11 games, DB shot 50% from the field (48 of 96) and made 4 of 6 trey attempts.

In those 11 games - 16.1 mpg - DB averaged 3.3 rpg.

Extrapolated to 25 mpg, that would come to 4.7 rpg, not earth-shattering, but not terrible either.

Bottom line: I can very easily envision DB averaging at least 25 mpg next year and averaging 15-16 ppg and 5-6 rpg. If we are able to get out in transition, his ppg could even be higher, and if he can approach 30 mpg, he could average 18-20 ppg and 6-7 rpg. That many mpg will depend on what shape he is in and whether or not he can avoid foul problems. But if he can do both, he could be one of the top half dozen scorers in the league next year.
