Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 3752938, member: 297"] There's a chance you're a troll (and not even a good one at that), but just in case you're genuine, lemme help ya out. Per 40 numbers are useful for comparative purposes by estimating a stat line based on a player playing a hypothetical full college basketball game (well, hypothetical for other programs, JB actually plays his guys 40 minutes HEYYYYYOOOOOO) and not just per game averages, which can be misleading based on differences in minutes played per game. The comparison introduces an interesting data point. For example, Dolejaz has played center pretty much all season, and rarely comes out of the game. Dolejaz is a good player, but his per 40 stats of 12.4 points, 6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks is collectively a worse per 40 contribution than Edwards put together last season, part of the past performance from Edwards that didn't impress you.
