Previous season EM BPR - Source

For reference, a BPR of 4.25+ puts you in the Top 250 for this past season. LSU's highest rated player was Wright at 4.42. Returning players of note - Fountain 2.79, Ward 1.76, Williams 1.45, Reed 0.34

Guards:
3.10 Cam Carter (Jr Kansas State): 14.6 PTS, 5.0 REB, 2.6 AST

That's great that Cam has the 3rd best BPR among the players we're pursuing. The BPR reveals some interesting things. For example, Dean had a 3.04 BPR, which was a nice jump from his 1.0 last year. Jalen Reed jumped from -1.69 to 0.34. Ward made a big jump from -0.83 to +1.76. So many players made big jumps. Fountain practically didn't change from 2.70 last year to 2.79 this year, but that's a good role player. Compare that to Baker's 1.48, which is very close to his 1.60 last year. That correlates to what I saw on the court.

Jordan improved from 3.77 to 4.42. Hopefully Cam can have a similar improvement. Cook improved from 2.97 to about 4.45, which I'm not sure matched what we saw on the court.

By the way, Stewart went from 2.74 to 3.18 BPR. Based on that alone, I hope he returns.
