CLEMSON – Through 12 games this season, the Clemson Tigers have already had seven different leading scorers. For context, the Tigers had only five different scoring leaders across 34 games last year.
So far, veterans Dillon Hunter and R.J. Godfrey have predictably taken turns atop the scoring chart. Hunter led with 15 points against the Mercer Bears this past Saturday, while Godfrey piloted efforts against Alabama and West Virginia. Transfer guard Jestin Porter paced Clemson against BYU and Georgia, and Carter Welling led the charge at Georgetown.
On Tuesday night, however, it was redshirt freshman Ace Buckner’s night to shine.
