Here are the details on the “Net Points” averaged by each scholarship player on the Syracuse team this season.
I compute the minutes, (M), per game for which the player was available. Thus Jeremy Grant’s average is over 7 games because he was suspended for one game. On the other hand Tyler Roberson, BJ Johnson and Ron Patterson have played in only four games each but they’ve been available for all 8 games so their average is per 8 games. All the other statistics: points, (P), rebounds, (R ), assists (A), steals, (S), blocks, (B), missed field goals, (MFG), missed free throws, (MFT), turnovers, (TO) and personal fouls (PF), are per 40 minutes of play. You add the “positives” (P,R,A,S,B) and subtract the “negatives”, (MFG,MFT,TO,PF) and you have “net points” (NP). Subtract MFG and MFT from P and you have “offensive efficiency” (OE). Then subtract OE from NP and you get “floor game” (FG).
I’ve put the players in three sections: Centers, Forwards and Guards. I’m counting Rakeem Chrsitmas as a center, even though he starts at forward because he plays there as much as at forward and the forward who replaces him plays more minutes than he does. I’m including BJ Johnson as a forward, even if he could play the “2”. Michael Gbinije can play forward but he’s being used as a guard so that’s where I have put him.
The first installment is “after November” but I didn’t get to it until after the 12/3/04 Indiana game.

Comment: Coleman’s numbers were built up against the earlier, weaker teams. He doesn’t play much against the good teams for defensive reasons. But it is interesting that his rate of committing fouls, (which are often the product of bad defense), is less that Christmas or Keita, who are fouling so much that they couldn’t play an entire game because they’d foul out before it was over. It’s more interesting that that was also true last year. It’s also true that all three centers are fouling more than they did last year, which means the other team has been getting the ball into the paint too easily. Coleman is easily the best scorer and rebounder of the three and we will be really good if he ever “gets it” on defense. Keita’s production is way down. You wonder if he’s dealing with some kind of in jury or maybe his skinny body can’t take the onslaught of guys into the paint we have been getting this year.

Comment: Fair and Grant are one of the best forward tandems in college but Fair, despite his MVP in Maui, (which should have gone to Ennis), is having a sub-par season so far. He’s actually scoring more but missing more shots, rebounding less and committing far more turnovers. Part of it is adjusting to be the “main man”. Part of it is trying to show off his one on one skills for the NBA. Part of it is that, early on the has getting all the defensive attention. He’s doing better now that the backcourt guys have come on so strong. Everyone can see Grant’s talent but he hasn’t demonstrated the ability to be a strong contributors in a game-by-game basis. Roberson and Johnson have three more chances to prove they deserve more playing time: Binghamton, High Point and Eastern Michigan. If they and Patterson don’t shine in those games, we’ll have an 8 man rotation, (as usual).

Comment: The “T and T backcourt” have almost taken over the team, the games and the season. Ennis and Cooney have, quite simply, been our best players. Ennis is playing like a senior all-American with a 4 ½ to one assist to turnover ratio, (2-1 is considered good). And he’s shown he can score and rebound, too. Cooney has become the deadly jump shooter he was advertised to be. But he’s also a good defender, (he and Ennis are averaging 7 steals a game), and can drive to the basket and dunk, which is something GMAC and Andy Rautins could not do. The only question is: to what extent are they responsible for the ball getting in the paint so much such that the centers are struggling to stop two point scoring, (other teams are shooting 50% from inside the arc after 42.5% last year), and fouling too much ?
Michael Gbiniije is actually playing OK overall, getting 6 rebounds and 4 assists per 40 minutes vs. 2 turnovers. But I thou8gh he might shoot and score a bit better. But eh can fulfill the “jack of all trades” roll. Patterson, like the other “sons”, has shown flashes of ability but needs to really show the coach something in these coming games to see much action once the conference season starts.

I compute the minutes, (M), per game for which the player was available. Thus Jeremy Grant’s average is over 7 games because he was suspended for one game. On the other hand Tyler Roberson, BJ Johnson and Ron Patterson have played in only four games each but they’ve been available for all 8 games so their average is per 8 games. All the other statistics: points, (P), rebounds, (R ), assists (A), steals, (S), blocks, (B), missed field goals, (MFG), missed free throws, (MFT), turnovers, (TO) and personal fouls (PF), are per 40 minutes of play. You add the “positives” (P,R,A,S,B) and subtract the “negatives”, (MFG,MFT,TO,PF) and you have “net points” (NP). Subtract MFG and MFT from P and you have “offensive efficiency” (OE). Then subtract OE from NP and you get “floor game” (FG).
I’ve put the players in three sections: Centers, Forwards and Guards. I’m counting Rakeem Chrsitmas as a center, even though he starts at forward because he plays there as much as at forward and the forward who replaces him plays more minutes than he does. I’m including BJ Johnson as a forward, even if he could play the “2”. Michael Gbinije can play forward but he’s being used as a guard so that’s where I have put him.
The first installment is “after November” but I didn’t get to it until after the 12/3/04 Indiana game.

Comment: Coleman’s numbers were built up against the earlier, weaker teams. He doesn’t play much against the good teams for defensive reasons. But it is interesting that his rate of committing fouls, (which are often the product of bad defense), is less that Christmas or Keita, who are fouling so much that they couldn’t play an entire game because they’d foul out before it was over. It’s more interesting that that was also true last year. It’s also true that all three centers are fouling more than they did last year, which means the other team has been getting the ball into the paint too easily. Coleman is easily the best scorer and rebounder of the three and we will be really good if he ever “gets it” on defense. Keita’s production is way down. You wonder if he’s dealing with some kind of in jury or maybe his skinny body can’t take the onslaught of guys into the paint we have been getting this year.

Comment: Fair and Grant are one of the best forward tandems in college but Fair, despite his MVP in Maui, (which should have gone to Ennis), is having a sub-par season so far. He’s actually scoring more but missing more shots, rebounding less and committing far more turnovers. Part of it is adjusting to be the “main man”. Part of it is trying to show off his one on one skills for the NBA. Part of it is that, early on the has getting all the defensive attention. He’s doing better now that the backcourt guys have come on so strong. Everyone can see Grant’s talent but he hasn’t demonstrated the ability to be a strong contributors in a game-by-game basis. Roberson and Johnson have three more chances to prove they deserve more playing time: Binghamton, High Point and Eastern Michigan. If they and Patterson don’t shine in those games, we’ll have an 8 man rotation, (as usual).

Comment: The “T and T backcourt” have almost taken over the team, the games and the season. Ennis and Cooney have, quite simply, been our best players. Ennis is playing like a senior all-American with a 4 ½ to one assist to turnover ratio, (2-1 is considered good). And he’s shown he can score and rebound, too. Cooney has become the deadly jump shooter he was advertised to be. But he’s also a good defender, (he and Ennis are averaging 7 steals a game), and can drive to the basket and dunk, which is something GMAC and Andy Rautins could not do. The only question is: to what extent are they responsible for the ball getting in the paint so much such that the centers are struggling to stop two point scoring, (other teams are shooting 50% from inside the arc after 42.5% last year), and fouling too much ?
Michael Gbiniije is actually playing OK overall, getting 6 rebounds and 4 assists per 40 minutes vs. 2 turnovers. But I thou8gh he might shoot and score a bit better. But eh can fulfill the “jack of all trades” roll. Patterson, like the other “sons”, has shown flashes of ability but needs to really show the coach something in these coming games to see much action once the conference season starts.
