not gonna catch me casting that particular stone
It sounds like last yearās atmosphere in leadership didnāt help.
Just for fun:
Dug: 28.6 mpg, 11 points, 6 assists, 3 turnovers per game. Unrealistically good from 2 (56%, last year was 44%), unrealistically bad from 3 (28%, last year as 37%).
Terrance: 32 mpg, 10.6 points, 4.6 boards, 36% from 3, 68% (!!) from 2. Aside from the hot two point shooting basically the same guy?
Tarris: 20 mpg, 11 points, 8.6 boards, 1.6 blocks. A major drop in turnover rate noteable?
GW3: only played 2 games w/e
Khayat: 21 minutes, 8.5 points, 3 boards. 4/10 on threes, 12/20 on twos
Glenn: 20 minutes, 7.3 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 2 turnovers. Shooting poorly.
Isaiah Barnes: 30 mpg, 11 points, 5 boards, no assists, shooting 37.5% on 4 threes a game
Frankie Collins: 30 mpg, 11 points, 4 assists, 4 boards, 2.5 turnovers, shooting bad. basically the same dude heās been the past two years
Zeb (still!): 22 mpg, 12 points, 3.6 boards, 2.4 assists, shooting 38% from three on 5+ attempts - first time heās really shot it well
Christian Anderson: Surprisingly effective! 25 mpg, 8 points, 2.8 assists, 0.7 turnovers, 39% on over 4 threes per game, shooting nearly 70% on a very small volume of 2ās.
Khani Rooths: 12 mpg, 3.4 points, 3 boards, half a steal, half a block. Shooting badly (35% and 2/15 on threes)
CA was getting a lot of preseason hype from Mccasland so im not surprised
Yeah, I mean this so far has to be somewhere north of 90th percentile outcome I had in my mind for him as a freshman. Maybe higher
Thanks for putting this together! Adding some others:
- Papa Kante - 9mpg, 69% on twos, 4ppg, 1.7rpg. Barely played in their first three games, played more in the last two. Has been really good at twos in limited volume.
- Hunter - Mostly the usual, though his minutes are notably lower this year at 26mpg. His 2s and FTs are the usual. His threes are only 3-for-11 so far and thus slightly behind but one more make and heās on track. Heās also his usual annoying self it would seem from his ejection.
- Caleb Love - Still plugging away, though off to a slow start from 3pt range. But his usual 15.5ppg.
lol how did I forget Hunter
It would be an interesting team if you put it all togetherā¦not good and probably frustrating to watch and root forā¦but:
PG - Frankie, Dug
SG - Zeb, Anderson, GW3
SF - Barnes, Khayat, Rooths
PF - TWill, Glenn
C - Hunter, Tarris, Kante
Thereās a case to make that the best PG is actually Anderson at least offensively
Iām not sure heās a PGā¦and if he is, there isnāt a SG. Frankie and Dug only āworkā with the ball in their hands. Anderson can be an off-ball shooter.
Not that it matters and I feel slightly ridiculous saying it but Iād probably start CA at the 2, and Zeb at the 3
The Wednesday night at the Big Ten (or whatever conference) Tournament vibes are STRONG with that roster.
It feels like eons since heās been here
Also, remind us which teams these players now play for.
It seems like heās playing point?
Sorryā¦Hunter is Kansas, Kante is Pitt, and Love is Zona
Sorry, I meant that for mgl.
