Could be wrong though. He's right there with the other two - could legitimately make a case for all three. And if Michael Hutchinson was getting a few more starts I think you'd have to include him as well.

You will be wrong.
It's a confidence thing. You can see how tentative he was at the beginning of the season. Then he sat and started to play better. He started getting comfortable playing set-up man but wasn't shooting. Now he's started shooting more and the goals are coming.
He's gaining confidence, and the coaching staff are using him in all situations. I find it really hard to believe he drops off because he gets tired. You can see the fire in his eyes. He's going to continue tearing it up now that his confidence is growing.
