📄 The Century Scorers Club for 2044 Season

Welcome to the Century Scorers Club. Where we showcase the players who reach the ultimate scoring rating. 100.

In the past when we’ve seen 100 rating talents like Jo Jo Crowell, Rasheed Plowman, Corey Jordan, Elton Kaminski, Phillip Chappell, Laron Dickens, Jamie Stewart, Chico Delea, Marco Logan, Kyle Bragg, Justin Sykes, Joshua Hudson, Howard Barr, Kurt Sylla, Damon Mills, Ernie Campbell or Dan McRae.

It’s … TWO players!

Let’s introduce the players this season above 100. Kam Owens

Kam Owens — Baylor — Guard (#22) — 6’2”, 219

Owens walks in as a high-usage engine with two elite carry traits right away: Scoring 100 and Passing 100. Baylor’s getting a creator who can run offense and generate points even if the rest of his skill mix is still uneven. His shot profile leans perimeter (58% outside / 42% midrange) and he’s not just a stationary gunner either (22% drive), so the ball can live in his hands without the offense stalling out.

The upside swing is the defensive ceiling. Stealing 97 with solid Defensive Ability 73 and Athleticism 87 screams disruption guard — the kind of player who turns possessions into instant transition chances. He also rebounds way better than most guards (72 OREB / 87 DREB), which fits Baylor’s pace-changing style when a guard can finish possessions and ignite breaks.

The “how good, how fast” question is the polish. His Inside 21 is a real limiter, and the control/decision layer needs work (Ball Handling 53, Court IQ 47, Discipline 51, Drawing Fouls 47). Translation: he can produce, but some of it may come with volatility early (loose possessions, fewer easy free throws, more perimeter-dependence).

Best early role: primary/secondary initiator who pressures passing lanes, runs set-heavy looks (Motion/Triangle + attack sets), and wins with creation + chaos.

Next up with 100 is.. Donald Caron

Donald Caron — Missouri — Guard (#15) — 6’6”, 216

Caron profiles like a big guard/wing scorer with a much cleaner shooting foundation than most freshmen: Outside 76 and FT 83 with Scoring 100. His usage is heavily shot-first (95% shoot / 5% drive), and his floor zones skew more midrange (57% midrange / 39% outside / 4% post). That reads like a rhythm jumper, pull-up, and catch-ready weapon — not a downhill pressure guard.

Where he really separates is the physical + secondary impact package. Athleticism 95 at 6’6” gives Missouri a high-ceiling finisher and matchup piece, and he rebounds like a forward (77 OREB / 87 DREB). Defensively he’s productive across multiple play types: Stealing 86, Shot Blocking 76, Defensive Ability 71 — that’s real two-way utility, especially when he’s used to swallow space and contest at the point of attack.

The limiter is ball control and feel. Ball Handling 43 and Court IQ 43 say you don’t want him living as a heavy on-ball creator yet, even though Passing 84 is respectable. He’s better as a play-finisher than a play-starter early — run him through sets (Motion/High Post/attack looks), let him shoot, crash, and defend multiple spots.

Best early role: starting-caliber 2/3 who spaces, hits tough mids, rebounds up a position, and adds stocks without needing to dribble-create.

…

Honorable mention to Franklin Crawford at 99 from Texas.

Predictions on stats anyone? Good luck this CBGM Season.
