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 21 games because he was suspended for one game. On the other hand Tyler Roberson, BJ Johnson and Ron Patterson have played in only 14, 8 and 8 games each but they’ve been available for all 22 games so their average is per14, 8, 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 four sections: Centers, Forwards, Guards and “Glue Guy”. I’m calling Michael Gbinije a “Glue Guy” because he’s a hybrid forward and guard. I’m including BJ Johnson as a forward, even if he could play the “2”. I’ll post the progressive numbers after each month of the season, but not the numbers for that month alone. The end number might be slightly different from my “Net Points, etc. posts because here I’m figuring out the averages for each element and then adding the results together after rounding each figure off, rather than totaling the net points and figuring that number per 40 minutes. Minutes are simply per game but it’s the games the player was available. If he was suspended or injured, I’ll note it. If a plyer didn’t play simply because JB chose not to use him, I counted that game so we’ll have his true average minutes per game.

DaJuan Coleman is on the shelf until further notice.
Comments: Both centers are performing well except they commit too many fouls. Christmas will be need for 35 minutes a game against good teams but he’s averaging 28. Obokoh obviously isn’t going to see much playing time if he’s committing a foul every four minutes. Who knows if Coleman will be back this year or what physical ability and skill level he’ll bring with him.

Comments: Chris McCullough is off to a strong start. Hopefully Roberson’s injury won’t be a season long problem. With him as with DaJuan Coleman, it’s not just that we need them back but they’ve never really had a chance to develop as players and the injury has put a hold on that development. We’ve never really seen what either can do. We’ve just seen their struggles. BJ Johnson has been very productive even if he hasn’t shot well. But JB question whether he can make those contributions against better teams with bigger players.

Comments: Joseph is putting up solid, if unspectacular numbers. Neither Cooney nor Patterson can find the basket. It’s actually Patterson who has the better floor game numbers.
