I'm going with Brady "Baby Bird" Manek.

From true Fr to Soph season he went from 10.2 to 12.2 ppg.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him being around a 15 ppg Jr
 
I think Manek as well. With Harmon, bienemy, Williams, & Reeves I don’t think Doolittle will have to get isolated as much. Harmon will be able to collapse the defenses more for kickouts as well.

Harmon - 9 ppg
Reeves - 10 ppg
Bienemy - 9 ppg
Manek - 14 ppg
Doolittle - 13 ppg
Williams - 8 ppg
Hill - 5 ppg
Kuath - 3 ppg
Iwaukofor - 3 ppg
 
Reaves, Manek and Doolittle, in that order.
 
Doo or Reaves. Wouldn't shock me if it's Manek but I'd lean toward the first two.
 
Manek, Reaves, Doo.

Williams, Harmon

(Smaller gap)

Bieniemy

Everyone else
 
I predict Reaves. Pretty tough year to predict, though.
 
I would be very surprised if it's not either Doolittle or Manek. IF it's anyone outside of those 2...OU has a chance to be very very good next year!!!

If I was betting, I would put my $ on Doolittle. W/O researching it...I would guess he was our leading score during the conference season. He'll be a senior and if he simply continues to grow in his role of being more assertive...he easily average 15-17 a game.
 
You are correct. Kristian Doolittle was OU's leading scorer in Conference games.

2018-19 Oklahoma Sooners
Leading Scorers in 18 Conference Games (Conference Stats Only)


PPG (FG%) .. (MPG) .. Class / Player
13.9 (.487) .. (33.4) .. Junior / Kristian Doolittle
12.1 (.488) .. (28.3) .. Sophomore / Brady Manek
11.9 (.355) .. (33.8) .. Senior / Christian James
_7.1 (.485) .. (19.7) .. Senior / Rashard Odomes
_6.2 (.435) .. (28.1) .. Freshman / Jamal Bieniemy
_5.9 (.362) .. (20.6) .. Graduate / Aaron Calixte
_4.2 (.371) .. (16.7) .. Graduate / Miles Reynolds

The above-listed 7 players played in all 18 conference games. Three of the listed players will be back next season. Two other departing players (Jamuni McNeace and Matt Freeman) played limited minutes in 16 conference games.
 
Very excited about next year's roster. Need to see leaps from Manek and Bienemy, and see Doolittle maintain what he did in the conference season. If that happens, and even half of the newcomers play up to expectations, we will be very good.
 
Doolittle then Reaves.

We had a player at work last week who said Reaves was the best player on the team from the first practice last year. I’d never met him before.
 
Wow... Williams looks legit in that video.

That’s what I’ve heard all year as well. He’s the best player on the team
 
I would love for Williams to be the leading scorer! I feel very good that we will have more guys who can score next year. Manek and Reaves give us at least two very good three point shooters. Brady hopefully will develop enough moves to occasionally create his own shot. Williams, Bienemy and Harmon should all be able to drive which opens up everything. Doo has already shown he can play great in the mid range plus generate shots for others.
 
It is a very interesting year when even good fans pick a hand full of different guys they think will lead the team in scoring.
