Projecting Stetson's numbers

Let us assume for a moment that Stetson is the heir to the 3 spot next season (by no means a given, but he is the leading candidate at this point). Let us assume that he does not shoot better or take more shots. If we divide Leroy Isler's minutes/game (25.3) by Stetson's (9.5), we arrive at a factor of 2.663. Then, if we multiply that factor by Stetson's per game numbers from last season, we come up with 5.6 points/game and 6.3 rebounds/game. Now, the points are not impressive (although not that much below Leroy's 6.5/game), but the rebound number is VERY impressive for a small forward, since our leading rebounder last season (Will) had only 7.0/game. By comparison, James White averaged 6.0 rebounds/game last season. Pretty good board numbers for a small forward, if Stetson hits them.
