I think he scores 1-2 fewer ppg.

The scorers to me for the team next are Mark Smith and Watson. Dru’s Job will be to get them and Tilmon the ball where all they need to do is finish.

So as a scorer I expect less from Dru that what we got from Geist. For what it’s worth Geist almost doubled my expectations for him this past season.

The difference I see are in other areas. Dru is a much more natural distributor, so I think that he will finish with 2-3 more assists per game. He also will change the spacing just by being on the floor. This will open up opportunities for his teammates.

When Mizzou plays Dru, Mark and Watson at the same time Tilmon will have a ton of room to work in the post.
