How about that Trevor Cooney?

He'd make a decent mid major player. He should transfer to Vermont.

And knock us out of the Tourney

My reasoning is that MCW was very good and would have seemed even better if he was passing to Hot White instead of Shakey Potatoes. On the other hand, what happens to TE's A/TO ratio and team wins if TE is passing to Shakey? TE is going to have much less control of the game without good TC. TE and MCW are roughly a push. White Hot >>> Shakey.

The MCW of today is a far cry from the MCW of last year. Today,s MCW is far better than any college point guard.

The MCW of today is a far cry from the MCW of last year. Today,s MCW is far better than any college point guard.

Last year's model got us to the Final Four. Here is a comaprison from my "Net Points, etc. post:

Let’s compare Tyler Ennis to his immediate predecessors:


Tyler Ennis this season so far

34.5m 13.6p 3.7r 6.5a 2.4s 0.1b =26.3+ 6.0mfg 1.3mft 1.8to 2.3pf = 11.4- = 14.9NP 6.3oe 8.6fg


Michael Carter-Williams in 2012-13

35.2m 13.4p 5.5r 8.3a 3.2s 0.5b = 30.9+ 6.8mfg 1.6mft 3.9to 2.6pf = 14.9- = 16.0np 5.0oe 11.0fg

Scoop Jardine in 2011-2012

25.2m 14.1p 3.7r 7.8a 2.1s 0.2b = 27.9+ 6.0mfg 1.3mft 3.6to 1.3pf = 12.2- = 15.7np 6.8oe 8.9fg


My recollection is that Scoop was criticized constantly and MCW frequently, at least until the NCAA run, (I have a friend who said we should never have bothered recruiting him). Tyler Ennis is already a “legend”. But is he really better than MCW and Scoop? The three were comparable scorers. MCW, the tallest, was the best rebounder. He also blocked some shots. Both he and Scoop had more assists. Tyler’s big thing is avoiding turnovers and that is a very big thing. Scoop committed the fewest fouls. Mike was the best on defense at the top of the zone. We hardly ever fast break with Tyler and aren’t that good at it when we do. All three were great but none of them were perfect. Is Tyler really the best of them? Does he deserve the Teflon? Would we be 25-0 with the other guys at the point this year?


While you’re at it, imagine Mike and Tyler both being available to the team this year.
