Oakland's Scoring Machine (2002-2004)
A prolific scorer from Oakland University's mid-2000s era, Mike Helms finished his college career as the third all-time leading scorer with 2,314 points. The 6-0 guard averaged 22.7 PPG across his career and earned AP honorable mention All-American honors in 2003 after ranking third nationally in scoring (26.9 PPG). A three-time First-team All-MCC selection and 2003 MCC Player of the Year, Helms demonstrated elite offensive consistency and scoring prowess, though his relatively modest assist numbers (2.2 APG) suggest a volume scorer rather than a facilitator.
