Damian Dunn - Scores team-high 23 points Dunn posted 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 86-62 win over West Virginia.
Impact The Panthers cruised to an easy win Friday, but Dunn was the standout performer with an excellent scoring outing. Dunn has scored at least 19 points in two of his last three contests, and it'd be fair to say Dunn has been the Panthers' best players in the first two weeks of the regular season.

Jaland Lowe - Struggles from field Friday Lowe chipped in eight points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 86-62 win over West Virginia.
Impact Lowe had a rough showing from the field and missed nine of his 11 shots, but he still salvaged his fantasy line with excellent contributions in other categories, such as rebounds, assists and steals. Lowe is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game to open his campaign.

Guillermo Diaz Graham - Sniffs double-double Diaz Graham chipped in 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Monday's 83-64 win over Gardner-Webb.
Impact Diaz Graham was one of four Pittsburgh starters who scored in double digits in this comfortable win, and he finished just one rebound shy of posting a double-double while leading the team in the boards category. Ishmael Leggett and Jaland Lowe should continue to carry the Panthers, but Diaz Graham has proven he can make a sizable impact as a two-way presence on the paint when called upon duty.

Cameron Corhen - Posts double-double Friday Corhen fouled out of Friday's 83-68 victory over Murray State after recording 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes.
Impact Corhen posted his first double-double of the season in this win Friday, and he was one of four starters who scored in double digits for the Panthers. Pittsburgh should rely most of their offense in their backcourt, but Corhen is likely to play an important role as well. He has scored in double digits in his first two outings.

Damian Dunn - Goes for 19 points Dunn registered 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 83-68 win over Murray State.
Impact The Panthers relied heavily in their starting lineup to get the victory here, as four of the five starters registered at least 13 points. Dunn certainly stood out, and his first two outings this season suggest he's expected to hold a prominent role on offense for Pittsburgh in 2024-25.

Amsal Delalic - Will return Monday Delalic (hand) didn't play on Friday night vs. Murray State but is set to return Monday versus Garnder-Webb, Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Delalic will make his debut on Monday. The freshman guard should get an opportunity to play in what figures to be a blowout win for the Panthers.

Ishmael Leggett - Efficient double-double Monday Leggett posted 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 96-56 win over Radford.
Impact Jaland Lowe led the Panthers in scoring Monday, but Leggett had an impressive all-around showing and posted a double-double. Points and rebounds aside, Leggett was excellent on both ends of the court, and he figures to play a prominent role for Pittsburgh in 2024-25.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jaland Lowe - Scores 21 points Monday Lowe finished with 21 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 96-56 win over Radford.
Impact Lowe finished the season opener as the Panthers' highest scorer and playmaker, and he dictated the tempo of the offense as Pittsburgh cruised to an impressive win. Lowe averaged 13.1 points and 4.1 assists per game as a starter in his freshman year, and he figures to improve on those numbers now that he'll have a bigger role on offense in 2024-25.

Jorge Diaz Graham - Active for exhibition Diaz Graham (ankle) is active for Pittsburgh's exhibition against Point Park University, Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Not only is Diaz Graham healthy - which was a question as the big man dealt with an ankle injury this offseason - he's starting for the Panthers in their exhibition game. Him and Cam Corhen got the start in Pitt's front court, and that tandem could be what you see in the regular season moving forward. Either way, Diaz Graham is healthy and looks ready to be serious contributor in 2024-2025.
