2024-25 Pitt Panthers
Pitt returns four of its top six scorers from a year ago with the backcourt of Ishmael Leggett and Jaland Lowe leading the way. Leggett averaged 12.3 points, while leading the team in rebounding (5.5 rpg.) and steals (41) en route to earning ACC Sixth Man of the Year honors. Lowe came on strong over the final three months of the season averaging 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game in ACC play.
Zack Austin (6.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg., 44 blocks), Guillermo Diaz Graham (6.7 ppg., 3.9 rpg.), and Jorge Diaz Graham (3.5 ppg. 2.5 rpg.) also return with starting experience for the Panthers.
The incoming class of Panthers is well balanced with productive veterans Damian Dunn and Cameron Corhen complimented by a trio of high-ceiling freshman – Brandin Cummings, Amsal Delalic, and Amdy Ndiaye. Dunn, a two-time All-AAC selection, has totaled 1,288 points in 109 career games, while Corhen is a two-year starter at Florida State who averaged 9.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in just 21.5 minutes per game last season with the Seminoles.
