3) Luke Maye

2018-19 stats:

29.7 MPG, 14.4 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 2.2 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 1.7 TPG
43.4 FG%, 34.8 3P%, 77.0 FT%

Best game:

12/15 vs. Gonzaga: 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6-of-10 shooting, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and 7-of-7 from the free throw line

Advanced data:

Maye is converting 72 percent of his shots at the rim, but such shots make up just 22.6 percent of his overall shot attempts on the season.

1,356,908: The number of Kentucky fans that still don’t like Luke Maye

Extra credit: William Amos Hough High School recently retired Maye’s number in a ceremony at the school; pretty good for a small-town kid out of Huntersville, North Carolina that was barely recruited coming out of high school.

Synopsis:

We’ve heard it time and time again; Maye is having a down season. We get it. He’s not putting up the same numbers that he did a season ago, but trust that you don’t want to see a UNC team this season that doesn’t have a strong dose of Maye in it. His heart, motor, leadership, and yes, production, is paramount to the Tar Heels’ success this year.
