EP reached the 1000 point club last night. Here are some interesting observations. If Elfrid averages just 15ppg and plays the minimum number of scheduled games for the remainder of this year and his senior season (48) he would finish with approximately 1,720 career points.
(EP currently averages 19 ppg and we would likely play more games than 48)
That would place him 6th on the All Time list in between Jerry Flake and Graylin Warner.
Shawn Long only has to average 14.8 ppg for the rest of the year to join the 1,000 point club as a sophmore.
From my quick review only Bo Lamar, Andrew Toney, Kevin Brooks, Jerry Flake, Roy Ebron, Sydney Grider, and Elvin Ivory joined the 1000 point club in their first two years.
If Shawn Long maintains his career average of 17.2 (he averaged 15 as a freshman and approx. 19 this year) and plays only the minimum number of scheduled games (18 + 30 + 30 (no post season).
He will finish with 2,133 career points. That is good enough for 4th all time. He would be behind only Bo, Toney and Kevin Brooks. And, he would likely pass Kevin Brooks with post season games.
For the youngsters, Bo Lamar had two 1,000 point seasons.
