The 15 points represent a season high for the senior point guard, who also contributed four assists for the fourth time in five games.

Impact Ruffin needed just five shot attempts to produce a season-high 15 points over a season-low 19 minutes. The junior guard was moved to the bench in favor of Trevor Baskin and responded with a highly efficient offensive performance. Ruffin averaged just 2.1 points last season across 10.1 minutes last year but has seen a spike in minutes and production this season, averaging 24.8 minutes through four games (three starts), posting 11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.

Elijah Malone - Explodes for 27 Malone closed with 27 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 90-88 2OT victory over Northern Colorado.
Impact Malone is a senior transfer from NAIA Grace College and earned the starting center nod during the offseason. After seeing only 13 minutes in the first game, Malone exploded Friday, leading the Buffaloes with 27 points in 31 minutes, shooting 66.7% while adding five boards, two steals and draining one of his two shots from three. While Malone has started the season off the fantasy radar, this performance makes him a player to monitor moving forward.

Andrej Jakimovski - Solid debut Jakimovski closed Monday's 76-56 win over Eastern Washington with 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 30 minutes.
Impact Jakimovski led the Buffaloes with 30 minutes Monday, posting a solid all-around line while contributing on both ends of the floor. The transfer from Washington State has never totaled more than 0.7 steals per game during any of his previous seasons, making the three he posted Monday feel like an outlier. However, he did average 9.7 points and 5.6 boards last season meaning that a small spike this season could land him as a relevant fantasy contributor.
