Life after B-Mac: What to expect from NU’s offense in 2018-19

EVANSTON, Ill. — Bryant McIntosh is gone. Scottie Lindsey is gone. The Wildcats offense that you’ve known for the past four years is gone, too. With six new players on the roster, along with key losses, Chris Collins has had to adjust his offensive playbook to fit his personnel.

Perhaps the two greatest casualties of the offseason are McIntosh and Lindsey. The team’s starting backcourt from last season led the Wildcats in usage percentage, per sports-reference, creating shot opportunities for themselves as well as their teammates. With them now gone, it’s unclear who is going to fill the offensive vacuum that’s left behind.
