Message: [QUOTE="Grbac, post: 2203040, member: 6304"] No people are saying small sample size of statistical data are not overly accurate. Also that the competition level is a much more important when analyzing stats. We are all using what we saw first and our over all knowledge of basketball and SU over time. Statistics are good indicators but they don't show they aren't the end all and be all. Most posters here saw Chukwu as a big tall guy that didn't know how to play and Howard as a guy who could play a but certainly couldn't play PG against ACC level competition. That IMO is a fair evaluation of what we saw regardless of stats. I also concede that both could improve a lot as happens with many college players. I have given reasons why I am skeptical in both situations as have many. Everyone here would love to see Frank and Chukwu be the plays you are envisioning this year. Realistically we are not expecting it and don't want the coaches to count on it without having other legit options.[/QUOTE] That is very fair. I am coming from a more statistical approach. While you guys are using the old eyeball test. You actually need a bit of both to be fair. But I am coming from a position of being very positive about what we look like right now. So I am trying to show you guys why I think that way. Obviously it is not working lol. But that is ok. We all have our own opinions. I could be very very wrong and FH and PC could be disasters. Get parked on the bench and never heard from again. Hopefully not. Only way we will know is when the ball is finally tipped off to start the season. If my predictions ring true...yay for all of us SU fans. If not, well I will come back on here and eat my words and tell you all that I was wrong. [/QUOTE]
