UConn's Collier, Samuelson in select company
When your name is mentioned in the same breath as Kerry Bascom in discussions about UConn women's basketball, you are certainly doing something right.
Well, before this season Bascom is the only UConn women's player to see her scoring average jump by more than 10 points in one season - until now.
Bascom went from averaging 8.4 points per game as a freshman to putting up 22.6 per contest during her sophomore season.
Currently Napheesa Collier's scoring average is up 12.3 points from her freshman season and fellow sophomore Katie Lou Samuelson has made a jump of 10.7 points per game.
I've spent the last few days doing a little more research on this subject and among Division I women's players, Collier is eighth and Samuelson 12th in biggest scoring average improvement with Samuelson being the only player on the list who was a double-digit scorer a season ago. As a matter of fact, Samuelson and Collier have the two highest 2015-16 scoring averages of the players on the list.
