Jimmer Fredette was just an 18.5 minute, 7.0 point per game scorer on 40.7% efficiency as a freshman in 07-08. There was little reason back then to expect him to lead the entire country in scoring.

In his first three Mountain West games of the 10-11 season, he has scored 39 points against UNLV (7-for-13 from distance), 22 against Air Force and 47 against Utah (16-for-28 from the field).

Fredette's scoring has increased incrementally over his four seasons, though the freshman to sophomore season saw the biggest jump.

Freshman Average: 7.0
Sophomore Average: 16.2, +131%
Junior Average: 22.1, +36%
Senior Average: 26.1, +18%

Fredette's minutes have remained fairly constant since his sophomore season, with the shots per 40 minutes accounting for the scoring surge.

Freshman Average: 12.6
Sophomore Average: 14.1, +12%
Junior Average: 18.5, +31%
Senior Average: 21.9, +18%

The remarkable thing about Fredette is that he has increased his efficiency despite national attention and opposing defenses who gameplan specifically to stop him. He is shooting a career high 48.2% from the field this season.

Four-year seniors like Tyler Hansbrough and Brandon Roy saw decreases in their efficiency during their final season, which makes Fredette's upward trajectory all the more rare.
