per Marcus:

Carr, Willis, Kalscheur and Oturu were the ‘Big Four’

The Gophers’ top four scorers last season were Amir Coffey, Jordan Murphy, Daniel Oturu and Gabe Kalscheur who combined for 51.8 points per game. Gone are Coffey and Murphy, who also led the team in assists and rebounds, respectively. Who will fill those roles this year? Carr and Willis both averaged a team-high 12 points during the five exhibition games. Willis was much more efficient shooting 52 percent from the field and 37 percent from the three-point line. Meanwhile, Carr shot just 37 percent from the field and 25 percent from three. Carr didn’t let rough shooting stretches keep him from being aggressive. He also got his teammates involved with a team-best 4.6 assists. Kalscheur missed one of the games in Italy with an ankle injury, but he still averaged 11.5 points in four games. Oturu not surprisingly was the Gophers’ most productive big man. He was close to averaging a double-double with 11.4 points and 9.6 rebounds [16 rebounds vs. SW Minnesota State], to go along with 1.4 blocks in five games.
