One little thing, if Pope had a senior 6’11” center and future 15th pick in the NBA draft averaging over 22 points a game to throw to this season, he’d probably have more assists. 5 more a game? It’s hard to say. We did not have an underneath offensive threat that could consistently catch and shoot this year.
It’s really tough to compare stats from players of different eras on different teams. Payton’s first season was almost 40 years ago. It was the “modern era” for some of us, others of us are adults who weren’t even alive when GP was playing.

With a 3 pointer tonight, Pope will move in to a tie for third for the most consecutive games with a 3 (20).
Pope should also move into 3rd on the all time minutes played by a freshman list tonight. An win would give him a shot a breaking Payton's record there as well (albeit in 3 additional games).

Sounds like Pope is tied for first for freshman all-time scoring with Carson Cunningham, surpassing Johnson, Payton and others - all others.
