Cluff has the highest Offensive Rating of any player in the country at 161.4, nine percentage points ahead of his nearest rival. He's eighth (30.9) in Player Efficiency, second in Offensive Rebound Percentage (21.3), 10th in Total Rebound Percentage (21.5), ninth is +/- (13.3), fourth in Total Win Shares per 40 minutes (.312), and third in True Shooting Percentage (.747).

Foxwell, meanwhile, is third overall for Total Assists (137) but is leading the whole freshman class nationally. He is fourth in assists per game at 7.2.
