Excellent breakdown on a new way to look at usage, Dylan. Very well done.
The jump you’ve pegged for Franz would put him right in the middle of that list of historical jumps … First-round draft pick territory.
They are something I’ve been working on and definitely plan to use more. Everyone on UM’s roster is there in the post. Probably won’t publish a big list, at least right now, but will try to come up with more ways to incorporate them. Are you looking for something specific?
Great post.
I’m still more of a doomer on Eastern on the ball though, and though I like his game, on Smith too just because of the rough track record of transfer ups at his size.
Higher on Wagner’s potential to end the season as our main pick and roll ball handler. He’s the one lock of an NBA player on the roster and teams do just hand the keys over to big wings in ISO or pick and roll more and more these days. If he shows a marked improvement in the first half of the year I’ll be bullish on his uh, March (whenever the tourney is) potential in that role.
