According to the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, if an Indiana boys basketball player saw action for a maximum 32 minutes per game, the state scoring leaders would be greatly different.

For example, South Bend Riley's superstar junior, 6-foot-7 Damezi Anderson, is the leading scorer in Indiana on a 32-minute basis with a 28.7 average, but ranks only ninth at 24.9 due to the time he sits out (playing average is 27.5 minutes). The highly-recruited swingman also averages 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals for the 15-0 Wildcats.

Another junior, 6-5 Musa Jallow of Bloomington North, is No. 2 with a 27.8 average with a full 32 minutes. However, he ranks only No. 9 overall with a 24.9 average. His average minutes per game is 28.7. He also averages 10 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

The No. 3 scorer is 6-10 senior Jack Nunge of Castle at 27.5. However, playing just 25.6 minutes per game, he ranks only No. 28 at an even 22 points per outing. He also averages 11.1 rebounds and 3.5 blocks while leading his team to a 17-2 record and No. 7-rating in the state.

At No. 4 is 6-0 junior Christian Harvey of Richmond with a 27.4 average. In the overall picture he is No. 8 at 25.1 while he averages 29.3 minutes. The talented guard averages 4.8 assists and 3.1 steals.

Senior Joel Neff of WACHE in Bluffton ranks No. 5 at 27.5 per 32 minutes, but he is only No. 22 at 22.5 while playing just 27.9 minutes per game. In addition, Neff averages 9.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Zach Gunn, a 6-6 senior from Hamilton Southeastrern, has the unusual distinction of being a "point per minute" player, averaging 25.8 points for every 25.8 minutes played.

Looking at the top 20, WACHE freshman Jake Lock (6-2), has the most impressive jump. He is listed as the state's No. 99 scorer with a 17.5 average, but over 32 minutes he is No. 19 with a 20.4 mark.
