Last post on this - you seriously have a reading comprehension issue. The numbers you are using are from the whole season, including his games against Colgate, Holy Cross & Boston U., where he went 18-for-27 from the field and 9-for-12 from 3. Call me crazy but I don't think we'll be seeing many teams the likes of Boston U. (4-6 record, 262 RPI), Holy Cross (4-6 record, 146 RPI) and Colgate (2-9 record, 338 RPI) in the ACC.

Take those three games out against inferior competition and his shooting percentage is 35.7%.

Again, I think Gillon is OK. But he's a bit player on a really good team, which we are not right now. He has trouble finishing against bigger front lines (which we will see in the ACC), struggles to get his shot off against bigger guards (which we will see in the ACC) and his handle is not as crisp as it should be for a guy who is undersized. Quite honestly, the kid from Monmouth is a better player than he is, and he'd struggle at this level.

Suit yourself if you want to trust the data and be the board guru on anything basketball, but contrary to popular belief (yours), others do know a thing or two. Possibly at a higher level than you, too.

I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully I do on a consistent basis against the better teams remaining on our schedule.
