Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger on developing new scorers

Sports

June 28th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger says the Cyclones need to develop additional scorers this summer. With Izaiah Brockington going pro and Big 12 freshman of the year Tyrese Hunter transferring to Texas the Cyclones lost their top two scorers from last year’s team that made it to the Sweet-16.

Otzelberger says summer is a good time to begin to establish roles.

Holmes is a transfer from St. Bonaventure and Kalscheur averaged just over nine and a half points last season. Otzelberger expects more scoring from senior forward Jaz Kunc (koons), who shot better than 39 percent from three point range.

Otzelberger wants Kunc to be more aggressive on offense.
