Focus on Steals

[Niastri]

One thing I've noticed about the players that GMAC has retained and the ones that he's gone to get in the portal. All of them are good at getting steals.

Dual had a 3.7 steal percentage, which is elite.

But, White 2.1, Goodrick 2.1, Tobiason 2.2 and Doty 2.1 are all over 2 for steal%

To put it in perspective, Sadiq White was tied for second in steal percentage on last year's team. To put it in perspective, Judah Mintz was a 3.3 steal% guy for his career.

This is true but also it’s a focus on not exposing driving lanes as a result too.

I suspect there is a synergistic effect with having multiple guys that steal the ball well as well. The best example I remember was the Andy Rautins, Wes Johnson, Scoop Jardine team with 7 guys over .9 steals per game, and everybody on the roster was 2+ steals%.

That team averaged 9.6 steals per game, but that didn't begin to explain the effect they had on the opposing offense. The trap out of the 2-3 near the sideline was so effective you could tell we were getting a steal long before the play developed.

Opponents were so worried about it getting stolen, they stayed out of about a third of the offensive court. That team was just dominant defensively.

Yeah, I like that a lot. It's being active and disruptive. As for Mintz, he was a mixed bag. He got his steals but he also went for too many and then let his team play 4-5 while he was late getting back.
