Gabe Kalscheur - Logs 15 points across 40 minutes Kalscheur amassed 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and three steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 77-40 victory over McNeese State.
Impact As a senior, Kalscheur has at least 10 points scored across all but one of his five logs that have more than 30 minutes. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if he receives that much time during future games. However, Caleb Grill (illness) must sit out more in order for Kalscheur to receive that benefit.

Gabe Kalscheur - Part of starting lineup Kalscheur is a part of the Cyclones' starting lineup Sunday.
Impact Caleb Grill (illness) must sit out, so the Cyclones need a replacement. Their sixth man is Kalscheur. He averaged 9.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals across his 34 games started during the NCAA's 2021-22 season.

Gabe Kalscheur - Succumbs to tough defense Kalscheur ended with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 loss to Iowa.
Impact Kalscheur and the entire Cyclones team struggled against the Hawkeyes pressure on the defensive perimeter, as his team shot just 3-of-22 from beyond the arc Thursday. The senior guard has historically struggled with three-point shooting over his five-year career, and this has continued in the 2022-23 campaign by converting just 25 percent of his 5.3 three-point tries per game. Kascheur's scoring inefficiency has also extended to his overall field-goal percentage (33.3). Nevertheless, he should continue to play a prominent role off the bench against McNeese State on Saturday.

Robert Jones - Double-double off the bench Jones contributed 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 loss to Iowa.
Impact Jones had the best all-around stat line of any Iowa State player Thursday, finishing as the team's leading rebounder and tying Tamin Lipsey for the second-most points. This also marked Jones' first double-double performance since transferring from Denver ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. He has also scored at least 10 points in six of his last seven games. While the 6-foot-10 forward now ranks third on the team in scoring (8.2), his relatively limited minutes (18.2) and field-goal tries per contest (6.7) while likely cap his scoring to the low teens.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaren Holmes - Stymied in blowout defeat Holmes contributed seven points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 loss to Iowa.
Impact Holmes was unable to provide any spark to the Cyclones' woeful shooting performance, as he was held to single-digit scoring for just the second time this season. Over nine starts in 2022-23, the St. Bonaventure transfer has been the only Iowa State to average double-digit points (13.9). However, he's also shot a career-low 36.9 percent from the floor while attempting a career-high 13.6 field goals per game. Holmes' prominent shooting role alongside fellow senior guard Gabe Kalscheur should continue to net him a respectable scoring average moving forward.

Robert Jones - Provides jolt off the bench Jones finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 71-60 victory over St. John's.
Impact Jones put up double-digit points for the fifth time this season despite fouling out of Sunday's win. The 6-foot-10 senior has now played 17.1 minutes per game behind starting center Osun Osunniyi (18.0) this season, and he's provided a consistent 7.9 points while coming off the bench in all eight games so far this season. Jones has slightly increased his scoring efficiency while taking 3.9 more field-goal attempts per game compared to the 2021-22 campaign, and he should continue to play a key-reserve role against in-state rival Iowa on Thursday.

Caleb Grill - Crashes boards in win Grill amassed seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and five steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 71-60 victory over St. John's.
Impact Grill notched a season high in rebounds to make up for his relatively mediocre shooting performance Sunday. The senior guard came off the bench in all 35 games for Iowa State last season, though he's taken on a full-time starting role alongside Tamin Lipsey through the first eight games of the 2022-23 campaign. Grill's primary contributions have still come from deep range for the Cyclones, taking 5.8 of his 8.5 field-goal attempts per game from beyond the arc. However, the three-point specialist has been largely hit or miss, as 11 of his 16 made threes have come in two of his eight games. Grill will look to establish some more consistency against the in-state-rival Hawkeyes on Thursday.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aljaz Kunc - Nears double-double in win Kunc supplied 12 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 71-60 victory over St. John's.
Impact Kunc logged one of his best all-around performances of the season, including his second-most points and rebounds in a game so far in the 2022-23 campaign. The 6-foot-8 senior has stepped up into a full-time starting role after coming off the bench for all but 10 of his 35 games last season. Kunc increased his shooting efficiency by 4.6 percent so far this season, though his three-point percentage has taken a 6.8-percent dip. The 225-pound forward has now averaged 7.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists while playing 28.4 minutes per game this season. He will look to continue playing a prominent role against the in-state-rival Iowa Hawkeyes on Thursday.
