Vaughn vs. Logan

The first time I heard someone compare Deonta Vaughn to Steve Logan last year, I thought it was a ridiculous comparison. So did Vaughn, who smiled and shrugged off the comparison after saying that he had heard that many times before. Obviously, Vaughn isn’t in the same class with Logan, who, after all, was a first-team All-American in 2002 and ranks second on UC’s career scoring list with 1,985 points. For one thing, Vaughn is just a sophomore who hasn’t learned to get his shot whenever he wants it the way Logan did. Vaughn’s biggest problem has been that he hasn’t been aggressive enough in looking to score, but I sense that has started to change in recent games. And the more talent he has surrounding him during the next two years, the more scoring opportunities he’ll have. It’s interesting to note that Vaughn has already scored 686 points in his UC career. At the end of his sophomore year, Logan had scored 618 points. He averaged 17.6 as a junior and became a dominant player as a senior, averaging 22 points and scoring 770. Only Oscar Robertson scored more in one season in a UC uniform. Is Vaughn potentially good enough to have a season like the one Logan had as a senior? Is it ludicrous even to talk about Vaughn in the same conversation with Logan?
