Killyan Toure, please have a seat.
The freshman from Pamiers, France came to Ames last fall with expectations and then promptly exceeded all of them. Jon Rothstein just named him one of five Big 12 breakout players to watch heading into next season. If you watched Iowa State this year that comes as absolutely no surprise.
The Freshman Season
Toure started all 37 games as a freshman tying the school record for starts by a first year player. He averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 ****** ists and 1.5 steals in 25.3 minutes per game. His 54 steals were the fifth most by a freshman in program history. One of only 11 freshmen in the entire country to put up those numbers across the board.
The defensive impact was immediate and undeniable. Tamin Lipsey, the best perimeter defender in the country, called Toure the best defender he had ever played with. When the greatest on ball defender in college basketball says that about a freshman you pay attention.
