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.
The second installment was done on 12/31 and therefore is accurately “after December.

Comment: Coleman is fading and now unavailable. Christmas now has a chance to claim the position. Off of the Eastern Michigan game, he may become more a scorer with the lane open to him. Keita had along stretch of unproductive play but is now looking like the BMK we know and love. It was Christmas and Keita that manned the middle in the run to the Final Four last year. DC2 was a spectator. Now he is again.

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. (This comment is unchanged from November). Grant will now really have a chance to blossom since he will be in there from the beginning of the game: we saw what that can mean against Eastern Michigan. I think it matters to him: last year he was great when he got a chance to start in place of Southerland, mediocre when James came back. He’s been good coming off the bench but will be better being in the starting line-up. Roberson will see some playing time because now he’ll assume Grant’s role coming off the bench, although he wont’ get as much playing time as Grant did. We’ll see BJ Johnson in the future but it’s just not his time.

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. Michael Gbiniije is actually playing OK overall, getting 6 rebounds and 4 assists per 40 minutes vs. 2 turnovers. But I though he might shoot and score a bit better. But he 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. (This is also repeated from last month.)
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.
