It can be hard for a freshman to make a big impact on any collegiate team right out of the gate.
This season there is no shortage of success on the hardwood for freshmen in the Big East. In one way or another, each team in the conference is getting contributions from their newest members.
At Seton Hall, 6-foot, 2-inch guard Myles Powell is leading the charge. The Trenton, N.J. native is ranked 17th in the conference with 14.8 points per game. He’s also sixth in three-pointers made per game with 2.2.
On a team that is coming off a Big East championship and NCAA Tournament berth, Powell is showing encouraging signs of being able to replace lost firepower such as Isaiah Whitehead.
