One of the stat nerd sites of the basketball world, Torvik, has produced a list of the top projected point per game leaders, and John Blackwell is in the top 10. Torvik has his PPG projected at 18.3, which would be up about three points per game from last year.
The list features many of the names you would expect, with JT Toppin at the top of the list and the Big Ten's leading scorer from last season, Nick Martinelli, coming in at sixth. Ohio State's Bruce Thornton is listed at seventh. Those are the only other Big Ten players ahead of Blackwell.
