Baylor’s best player through five games:

This guy has been on fire since transferring from Miami a few seasons ago. He has added a solid guard to a Baylor team that is already very talented. Louisville’s guards must come to play and not find themselves giving Lecomte open looks during the game.

Check out this quick bio of Lecomte, courtesy of Baylor’s official athletic website:

"“Junior point guard from Brussels, Belgium, transferred to Baylor after playing two seasons at Miami (Fla.) … Practiced with BU squad during 2015-16 season, redshirted to satisfy NCAA transfer requirements … Finished Miami career ranked second in school history with .434 3-point percentage … Holds Miami school record for 3-point percentage in ACC play (.458) … Name pronounced MAHN-ew la-CONN-t.”"

Lecomte is a legit scoring threat that the Cards need to pay attention to. He has put up 13, 18, 19, 16, and 8 points in the Bears’ first five games of the season.

Not to mention, he can pass with precision and experience that gives his teammates great opportunities to find the basket.
