Isaiah Sykes will enter his junior season in some elite
company. The Detroit native currently ranks seventh on the UCF career
field-goal percentage list. Sykes has made 54.9 percent (200-of-379) of his
attempts from the field as a Knight. Field-goal percentages in the mid-fifties
are rare for wing players, but the guard/forward typically gets to the basket
with ease and is a great offensive rebounder.
In 2011-12, Sykes shot 54.5 percent overall. In Conference
USA play, he shot 55.1 percent, good for fifth in the league. He was the lone
non-post player to rank among the top-five in the conference in field goal
percentage.
