No context is crazy! Injuries have derailed his season and his numbers
Lest we forget Tarrisā¦AND ZEB JACKSON! Yes, believe it or not Zeb is still playing college basketball. Heās a super-senior for VCU this year and has played 20 games off the bench for them, averaging 21.3mpg. He continues the trend of former players who donāt know how to shoot with a 48% eFG% that is dragged down by his 45% 2pt%. His 3pt% is actually decent at 33% on 87 attempts this year. He is however shooting 88% at the FT line and averaging about 3.5 boards, 2 assists, and 1.5 TOs. VCU is having a really good season at 20-5 in second place behind George Mason in the A-10.
If weāre going to include Anderson, might also include Papa Kante as well. As a freshman for Pitt (14-10) heās getting a handful of minutes per game off the bench where heās 16-26 from 2pt and 15-24 from FTs.
Khani Rooths never quite felt like a Michigan guy given how short his commitment was, but heās playing 13mpg for Louisville off the bench. He isnāt doing much in those minutes, but heās at least in the rotation.
I swear he would have been all conference if not for that!
this is really sweet. for some reason i canāt picture the two of them talking. i guess i imagined them not knowing who the other was for the three years they shared on campus
4 years!! Including 1 big ten championship and 2 second weekends!
one of those years was the covid year so it didnāt count, donāt you remember
Christian Anderson scored 21 pts, 7/13 FG, 5/8 3 Pt in 38 minutes in yesterdayās win over WVU. Turns out heās more than good enough to be a contributor for a top 10 KenPom team.
His ORTG for the season is 120.9 at 59.4 eFG, 61.9 TS and 41.7 from 3 pt. Heās as advertised as an offensive threat.
Heās still a fairly low usage player and heās taking 2x the number of 3s as 2s, so Iām really more curious how the D looks bc no way McCasland would give him tick without it. The little bit of his minutes Iāve seen he def looked bigger and was giving better effort than he ever gave for Germany.
While watching this Texas/LSU game, I started wondering whether there was an update on Laila Phelia and found out there was, but also that so many other former Wolverines are dealing with injuries this year
