J'Vonne Hadley - New season high in loss Hadley accumulated 19 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 76-73 loss to Arizona State.
Impact The return of high-volume scorer Tristan da Silva from an ankle injury didn't affect the offensive output of Hadley, who was efficient from the field en route to a season-best scoring total. With da Silva seemingly at full strength and KJ Simpson continuing to lead the scoring charge, Hadley's fantasy ceiling may be a bit limited, but his efficiency has served the Buffaloes well. The senior guard is currently averaging career highs in scoring (10.6 ppg), shooting percentage (56.3) and three-point percentage (41.7) for a tournament-hopeful Colorado squad.
