Scottie Lindsey leaves Northwestern as one of the program’s most prolific scorers, wrapping up his career 19th in points scored and ninth in three-pointers. He led the 2017-18 team in scoring and often propped up a sagging Wildcat offense. His improvement from 2015-16 to 2016-17 was a major reason why Northwestern reached the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Yet Lindsey often left something more to be desired. His intensity on the defensive end waned at times, his playmaking skills never completely developed, and he could shoot Northwestern out of games.

Lindsey improved immensely over his first two years on campus, increasing his efficiency even as his usage rate increased, while cutting turnovers and getting to the line at a higher rate.
