Here is a break-out of each scholarship player’s numbers for the pre-conference games, the conference games, the post season games and totally:
G= games actually played, M= minutes, P= points, R= rebounds, A= assists, S= steals, B= blocks, 2FG = two point field goals makes and attempts, 3FG = three point field goal makes and attempts, FT= free throws TO = turnovers and PF = personal fouls
Averages are per game, (for every game they were available to play), for minutes, per 40 minutes for everything else. MFG: are missed two pointers and three pointers combined. MFT are missed free throws. + = “positives”, which is P+R+A+S+B. - = “negatives”, which is MFG<9both types), + MFT + TO +PF. NP: “Net Points”, which + minus -. OE: Offensive efficiency, which IS P-MFG-MFT and FG = Floor Game, which is NP-OE.

Comments: If you have a starter that isn’t even averaging playing ½ of a game, you know you’ve got a problem positon. I also have a rule of thumb that an adequate starter is a player who averages at least 10NP per 40 minutes. DaJuan was thus adequate and a little moreso against the lesser completion of the pre-conference schedule and overall but was below adequate in the conference season. His numbers improved in the post season, especially his rebounding numbers. A a huge key is that he started to avoid fouls. Often big men are more productive than we realizer but they can’t stay on the court due to fouls. A guy who is averaging 6-7 fouls per 40 minutes obviously isn’t going to play anywhere near 40 minutes. DaJuan may be figuring this game out and if he is, he could be primed for a big season next year. His playing time didn’t go up, despite the reduced fouling because JB wanted Lydon’s skills in the game and maybe because DaJuan still isn’t fully recovered from his surgeries. He may never be fully recovered, in which case he’ll never be a 30 minute a game guy. But we won’t need him to be next year, with Chukwu available.

Comments: Chinoso remains an unknown quantity for one reason: he’s committed 21 fouls in 67 minutes. You just aren’t going to see much of a guy in that situation. One good thing: fouls were his only fault in conference play. He didn’t miss a field goal or free throw, (not that he attempted any) and didn’t turned the ball over. He did get 5 rebounds, two steals and a block in 28 minutes. That’s not bad. But his excessive fouling is an identification that he doesn’t know how to positon himself on defense, still another reason why he can’t get into games. JB didn’t use him at all in the post season. He actually played more minutes last year, (89), not a good sign for his career arc.

Comments: Tyler’s number s look consistent from pre- conference to conference to post-season. His problem was finding consistency from game to game, which occasions his coach’s frustrated comments. His rebounding became more consistent down the stretch (he never had less than 8 in any NCAA to9runament game), but his scoring waivered, (2 points in the UNC game). He just never developed an offensive game away from the basket- either shooting or driving to the hoop. That’s why he may be pressed next year by Matthew Moyer, (or by Tyler Lydon with Moyer in Lydon’s spot). Still, T-Rpb doesn’t make very many bad plays. His errors are of omission.

Comments: Tyler had an exceptional freshman year- he’s been a major contributor from day one and will obviously be a key player for this team as long as he’s here. A 6-9 guy who can shoot like that and is also a solid all-around player is a gem. And the fact that he can essentially play three positions for us- center and both forward spots is amazing. His positives remained just about constant through both the pre-conference, conference and post- season. He missed a few more shots against tougher completion and his assist rate sharply declined in the postseason. (It would have been astronomical if had him at the high post). His foul rate wasn’t anywhere near his mates at the center positon. In fact his fouls probably were the result of the time he had to put in at center, since Coleman was fouling even more and Obokoh wasn’t being used any more. Next year he should be a full-time forward and a star, although, like all newly minted star players he’s going to have to adjust to being the focus of the defense.

Comments: Did Malachi Richardson have a great post-season? Did he even have a great season? Not really. He showed flashes of great talent and one of those flashes put us in the Final Four. But there were too many missed shots, (ncluding a horrible 4 for 20 game in the St. John’s loss - 0 for 11 from three), and not enough of the rest of his game. He did rebound fairly well for a player who was really a third guard. He had some assists during the conference season. He didn’t get a lot of blocks and steals and had more turnovers and fouls than you’d like. But with more strength, consistency and wisdom, eh can be a great player for us- if he doesn’t hear the NBA’s siren call. He’s not nearly ready for the league but, as we know, that never seems to matter.

Comments: Michael Gbinije was obviously our best player. But his numbers are low for a best player, 14.9NP per 40 minutes on the season. Last year Rakeem Christmas was 21.6. The 1985-86 team had four players that were 20NP/40 or better. Mike would have finished 6th in NP/40 on the 2009-2010 team. Over the years our top player has averaged 20.4. The second best has averaged 17.4. And the third best 15.7. His numbers declined in the conference season and declined further in the post season. He’s had some great games but hasn’t really had a great season. Three big reasons: It’s hard to consistently put up good numbers from the backcourt. Your shooting percentage is going to be lower and the rebounds father away. Secondly, he was playing out of position. He should have had a point guard to bring the ball up and get the offense going whi9le he moved to get open. Instead, that became his job. Thirdly. he was the focus of the defense, much more than Lydon or Richardson or even Cooney. He did achieve one thing constantly: he scored in double figures every game, no matter how much the defense worked to get it. The offense was tailored for his talents: shooting from outside and driving to the basket. But he didn’t get enough help and, if your best player isn’t up front, the season is likely to be a bumpy ride. Think of our best teams: how many of them had a guard as their best player? Maybe the Pearl Washington/Sherman Douglas teams- maybe- but who else?

COMMENTS: Trevor Cooney had a fine post season and one of his career best games against North Carolina in the national semi-finals. It sile4nced his critics, even if it didn’t eliminate them. He was certainly playing poorly for a long stretch before that and his performances were worth of criticism. But if you are going to criticize a player, you’ve got to credit him, too and his career ended on a high note. I think one reason he performed as well as he did down the stretch is that he didn’t reply so much on the three point shot. 37 of his 66 shots, ((56%) came from inside the arc on drives or pull-ups. In conference play it was 77 of 214, (36%). He can make three pointers but isn’t a great outside shooter. BY limiting his three pointers to the best opportunities, (and gaining confidence from his other scoring), he hit 48% of his treys, rather than 33%, as he had done in conference play. He’s not just a shooter: he’s a scorer and he’s better off when he plays that way.

Comments: We’ve gotten glimpses of Frank Howard’s abilities- and of his liabilities. His assist average is easily the best on the team. He’s also an outstanding rebounder for a guard. He steals the ball as well as Cooney or Gbinije. Unfortunately, he cannot shoot. He also turns the ball over too much. The latter could be attributed to his freshman status. But the other is more likely to remain a problem, especially when Tyus Battle comes in expecting to be our point guard. It remains to be seen if he’ll ever be anything more than a back-up, although if Battle is as good as they say he might leave after a year or two and Howard is a guy who could re-emerge late in his career.

Comments: If you have a starter that isn’t even averaging playing ½ of a game, you know you’ve got a problem positon. I also have a rule of thumb that an adequate starter is a player who averages at least 10NP per 40 minutes. DaJuan was thus adequate and a little moreso against the lesser completion of the pre-conference schedule and overall but was below adequate in the conference season. His numbers improved in the post season, especially his rebounding numbers. A a huge key is that he started to avoid fouls. Often big men are more productive than we realizer but they can’t stay on the court due to fouls. A guy who is averaging 6-7 fouls per 40 minutes obviously isn’t going to play anywhere near 40 minutes. DaJuan may be figuring this game out and if he is, he could be primed for a big season next year. His playing time didn’t go up, despite the reduced fouling because JB wanted Lydon’s skills in the game and maybe because DaJuan still isn’t fully recovered from his surgeries. He may never be fully recovered, in which case he’ll never be a 30 minute a game guy. But we won’t need him to be next year, with Chukwu available.

Comments: Chinoso remains an unknown quantity for one reason: he’s committed 21 fouls in 67 minutes. You just aren’t going to see much of a guy in that situation. One good thing: fouls were his only fault in conference play. He didn’t miss a field goal or free throw, (not that he attempted any) and didn’t turned the ball over. He did get 5 rebounds, two steals and a block in 28 minutes. That’s not bad. But his excessive fouling is an identification that he doesn’t know how to positon himself on defense, still another reason why he can’t get into games. JB didn’t use him at all in the post season. He actually played more minutes last year, (89), not a good sign for his career arc.

Comments: Tyler’s number s look consistent from pre- conference to conference to post-season. His problem was finding consistency from game to game, which occasions his coach’s frustrated comments. His rebounding became more consistent down the stretch (he never had less than 8 in any NCAA to9runament game), but his scoring waivered, (2 points in the UNC game). He just never developed an offensive game away from the basket- either shooting or driving to the hoop. That’s why he may be pressed next year by Matthew Moyer, (or by Tyler Lydon with Moyer in Lydon’s spot). Still, T-Rpb doesn’t make very many bad plays. His errors are of omission.

Comments: Tyler had an exceptional freshman year- he’s been a major contributor from day one and will obviously be a key player for this team as long as he’s here. A 6-9 guy who can shoot like that and is also a solid all-around player is a gem. And the fact that he can essentially play three positions for us- center and both forward spots is amazing. His positives remained just about constant through both the pre-conference, conference and post- season. He missed a few more shots against tougher completion and his assist rate sharply declined in the postseason. (It would have been astronomical if had him at the high post). His foul rate wasn’t anywhere near his mates at the center positon. In fact his fouls probably were the result of the time he had to put in at center, since Coleman was fouling even more and Obokoh wasn’t being used any more. Next year he should be a full-time forward and a star, although, like all newly minted star players he’s going to have to adjust to being the focus of the defense.

Comments: Did Malachi Richardson have a great post-season? Did he even have a great season? Not really. He showed flashes of great talent and one of those flashes put us in the Final Four. But there were too many missed shots, (ncluding a horrible 4 for 20 game in the St. John’s loss - 0 for 11 from three), and not enough of the rest of his game. He did rebound fairly well for a player who was really a third guard. He had some assists during the conference season. He didn’t get a lot of blocks and steals and had more turnovers and fouls than you’d like. But with more strength, consistency and wisdom, eh can be a great player for us- if he doesn’t hear the NBA’s siren call. He’s not nearly ready for the league but, as we know, that never seems to matter.

Comments: Michael Gbinije was obviously our best player. But his numbers are low for a best player, 14.9NP per 40 minutes on the season. Last year Rakeem Christmas was 21.6. The 1985-86 team had four players that were 20NP/40 or better. Mike would have finished 6th in NP/40 on the 2009-2010 team. Over the years our top player has averaged 20.4. The second best has averaged 17.4. And the third best 15.7. His numbers declined in the conference season and declined further in the post season. He’s had some great games but hasn’t really had a great season. Three big reasons: It’s hard to consistently put up good numbers from the backcourt. Your shooting percentage is going to be lower and the rebounds father away. Secondly, he was playing out of position. He should have had a point guard to bring the ball up and get the offense going whi9le he moved to get open. Instead, that became his job. Thirdly. he was the focus of the defense, much more than Lydon or Richardson or even Cooney. He did achieve one thing constantly: he scored in double figures every game, no matter how much the defense worked to get it. The offense was tailored for his talents: shooting from outside and driving to the basket. But he didn’t get enough help and, if your best player isn’t up front, the season is likely to be a bumpy ride. Think of our best teams: how many of them had a guard as their best player? Maybe the Pearl Washington/Sherman Douglas teams- maybe- but who else?

COMMENTS: Trevor Cooney had a fine post season and one of his career best games against North Carolina in the national semi-finals. It sile4nced his critics, even if it didn’t eliminate them. He was certainly playing poorly for a long stretch before that and his performances were worth of criticism. But if you are going to criticize a player, you’ve got to credit him, too and his career ended on a high note. I think one reason he performed as well as he did down the stretch is that he didn’t reply so much on the three point shot. 37 of his 66 shots, ((56%) came from inside the arc on drives or pull-ups. In conference play it was 77 of 214, (36%). He can make three pointers but isn’t a great outside shooter. BY limiting his three pointers to the best opportunities, (and gaining confidence from his other scoring), he hit 48% of his treys, rather than 33%, as he had done in conference play. He’s not just a shooter: he’s a scorer and he’s better off when he plays that way.

Comments: We’ve gotten glimpses of Frank Howard’s abilities- and of his liabilities. His assist average is easily the best on the team. He’s also an outstanding rebounder for a guard. He steals the ball as well as Cooney or Gbinije. Unfortunately, he cannot shoot. He also turns the ball over too much. The latter could be attributed to his freshman status. But the other is more likely to remain a problem, especially when Tyus Battle comes in expecting to be our point guard. It remains to be seen if he’ll ever be anything more than a back-up, although if Battle is as good as they say he might leave after a year or two and Howard is a guy who could re-emerge late in his career.
