4 1,000 point scorers

Impressive.....

"Giving new meaning to the term prolific is the possibility of having four current players in the 1,000 Point Club during the same season, a true rarity in college basketball. Already in the club are William Walker with 1,700 career points and Tyler Brown with 1,036. Just outside stand Ryne Lightfoot only 23 points shy, at 977 career points, and Mark Lettinga 167 points shy, at 833 career points. Never before in the illustrious history of Bethel basketball have the Pilots had four 1,000 point scorers in the same season."

While I agree that having four 1,000 point scorers on one team is an impressive feat, I think most people would understand that a big part of that is due to the fact that these guys have been playing and starting since they arrived on campus outside of a maybe a year of Lettinga's career.

Don't get me wrong, you still have to put the ball in the basket, and these guys have all proven they can do that, but if not for the struggles of the Pilot teams early in their careers (More Walker and Lettinga than Brown and Lightfoot) then normally players of their experience might not have seen so much floor time to reach these impressive numbers. Big props to the accomplishments of this group but I just thought I would give my perspective on reading that.

One thing I would wonder is if Lightfoot and Brown will reach the 2,000 point plateau. I would guess so since both have already proven their worth in their first two seasons, but that would be pretty impressive also to have teammates of the same year each reach 2,000 career points.
