At this point in his career, Devyn Marble has a very strong chance to finish as a top-5 all-time scoring Hawkeye. The question is - where will he land?
Dev currently sits at 1,529 points, putting him 146 points behind #5 Ronnie Lester and 250 points behind #2 Acie Earl.
As of right now, Iowa is virtually assured 9 more games this year, counting the B1G tournament and a postseason tournament game. Over the course of these 9 games, Devyn would have to average the following to finish in the respective slots:
#5 Ronnie Lester - 16.2 ppg
#4 BJ Armstrong - 19.5 ppg
#3 Greg Stokes - 26.6 ppg
#2 Acie Earl- 27.8 ppg
Of course, the required average decreases the farther into both tournaments we go. What follows is the amount of points, up to us winning the B1G and national championships (why the hell not), for each slot, starting with 10 games remaining (or one win in the B1G tournament) to 18 games remaining (whole banana):
#5 14.6, 13.3, 12.2, 11.2, 10.4, 9.7, 9.1, 8.9, 8.1
#4 17.6, 16.0, 14.7, 13.5, 12.6, 11.7, 11, 10.4, 9.8
#3 23.9, 21.7, 19.9, 18.4, 17.1, 15.9, 14.9, 14.0, 13.3
#2 25.0, 22.7, 20.8, 19.2, 17.9, 16.7, 15.6, 14.7, 13.9
A nice middle of the road estimate of 2 wins in the B1G tourney and 1 in the NCAA (or vice versa) is highlighted.
I think we'll see Devyn reach the #4 slot with relative ease. I think if he reaches #3, he'll reach #2...and both are within shouting distance.
It will be interesting to watch.
...and yes, I know Aaron White will pass him next year.
