Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 252115, member: 289"] This year I’m including net points information with my post game updates but doing monthly posts breaking the information out so we can chart the trends. Again the formula is to add the “positives”, (points rebounds, assists, blocks and steals) and subtract the “negatives”, (missed field goals, missed free throws, turnovers and fouls) on the theory that all these numbers are, on average worth between 0.5 and 1.5 points and you can summarize a player’s statistical contributions to his team by adding the positives and subtracting the negatives. Of course, there are things not covered by the stats, (getting loose balls- which should be a stat- sneaker to sneaker defense, keeping the ball moving, providing an outlet man for a player surrounded by defenders, the timeliness of things, being a an example and leader off the court, etc), But the most statistically productive players will normally be the best at these other things as well. In my post game summaries, I’m totaling the net points and multiplying by 40, then dividing by the number of minutes played on the season. I’m adding my numbers up as I go along. In these monthly posts, I’ll multiply each stat by 40/minutes played and then adding and subtracting the result so the numbers might be slightly different due to rounding. I’m also adding two other stats: “Offensive Efficiency“ (OE), which is points minus missed field goals and free throws, and “Floor Game“ (FG), which is rebounds, assists, blocks and steals minus turnovers and fouls. When I do the monthly post, I’ll also review the numbers on the latest game summary vs. the overall numbers on the SU Athletics website to correct any mistakes. Finally I’ve decided to list the best seasons of our most famous players since the 1983-84, (the earliest year for which all the numerical components of the net points formula are available), for comparison purposes. Of course, as we go along, the numbers of the current SU players will become more meaningful as we have a greater sample vs. better opposition. M= minutes per game the team has played, (If players get injured or suspended, I will use the number of games for which they were available) P= points per 40 minutes. R= rebounds per 40 minutes A= assists per 40 minutes B= blocks per 40 minutes S= steals per 40 minutes += total of P+R+A+B+S MFG= missed field goals per 40 minutes MFT= missed free throws per 40 minutes TO= turnovers per 40 minutes PF= personal fouls per 40 minutes - = total of MFG+MFT+TO+PF NP= + minus - OE= P minus MFG+MFT FG= R+A+S+B minus TO+PF (This is through the end of the season.

People forget that Rak was a highly rated recruit in his own right. I remember when he verballed to Syracuse that the news reports heralded him as the #1 center recruit in the country. He wasn’t that but he’ll be a good player for us. How will these two and DuJuan Coleman- or Nerlens Noel- fit in with these guys? That will be figured out next year. 　 FORWARDS Kris Joseph 32.2M 16.6P 5.8R 1.9A 1.7S 0.8B = 26.8+ 7.6MFG 1.3MFT 1.8TO 2.1PF = 12.8 = 14.0NP 7.7OE 6.3FG Previous numbers: After February 31.2M 18.2P 6.5R 2.1A 1.8S 0.8B = 29.4+ 7.9MFG 1.2MFT 1.6TO 2.1PF = 12.8 = 16.6NP 9.1OE 7.5FG After January 30.2M 18.1P 6.3R 2.4A 1.8S 0.8B = 29.4+ 7.7MFG 1.2MFT 1.6TO 2.1PF = 12.6 = 16.8NP 9.2OE 7.6FG After December 28.9M 19.4P 7.2R 2.3A 1.8S 0.8B = 31.5+ 8.6MFG 1.0MFT 1.5TO 2.0PF = 13.1- = 18.4NP 9.8OE 8.6FG After November 27.1M 21.7P 8.4R 1.9A 2.1S 0.2B = 34.3+ 8.2MFG 1.3MFT 1.9TO 2.9PF = 14.3- = 20.0NP 12.2OE 7.8FG CJ Fair 26.4M 12.9P 8.1R 1.4A 1.6S 0.7B = 24.7+ 5.4MFG 1.1MFT 1.2TO 2.2PF = 9.9- = 14.8NP 6.4OE 8.4FG Previous numbers: After February 27.3M 13.5P 8.2R 1.5A 1.7S 0.9B = 25.8+ 5.5MFG 1.1MFT 1.2TO 2.1PF = 9.9- = 15.9NP 6.9OE 9.0FG After January 25.1M 13.2P 8.1R 1.4A 1.7S 0.8B = 25.2+ 5.6MFG 1.2MFT 1.4TO 2.0PF = 10.2- = 15.0NP 6.4OE 8.9FG After December 24.1M 13.5P 8.4R 1.3A 1.9S 0.6B = 25.7+ 5.2MFG 0.7MFT 1.5TO 1.8PF = 9.2- = 16.5NP 7.6OE 8.9FG After November 24.1M 13.5P 9.9R 1.4A 2.4S 0.7B = 27.9+ 5.2MFG 1.2MFT 1.9TO 1.9PF = 10.2- = 17.7NP 7.1OE 10.6FG James Southerland 16.0M 17.0P 7.8R 0.9A 2.1S 2.3B = 30.1+ 7.4MFG 0.7MFT 0.8TO 3.3PF = 13.7- = 17.9NP 8.9OE 9.0FG Previous numbers: 15.1M 17.4P 7.5R 1.1A 2.5S 2.0B = 30.5+ 8.2MFG 0.7MFT 0.9TO 3.2PF = 13.0- = 17.5NP 8.5OE 9.0FG After January 16.7M 18.5P 7.9R 1.0A 2.1S 2.1B = 31.6+ 7.6MFG 0.8MFT 0.9TO 3.0PF = 12.3- = 19.3NP 10.1OE 9.2FG After December 16.3M 20.7P 8.0R 1.6A 2.9S 2.3B = 35.5+ 6.2MFG 1.1MFT 0.8TO 2.1PF = 10.2- = 25.3NP 13.4OE 11.9FG After November 16.4M 25.7P 8.7R 2.1A 3.8S 1.7B = 42.0+ 6.3MFG 0.3MFT 0.3TO 1.4PF = 8.3- = 33.7NP 19.1OE 14.6FG Comment: Both Kris Joseph and CJ Fair saw significant declines in their numbers after March, (which is hard to do at that point in the season. With Kris is was declines in scoring and rebounding. With CJ it was mostly scoring. James Southerland’s productivity stayed about the same- on the surface. Actually, in March he performed to the net level of his red-shot start and his ice-cold conference season. What’s interesting is that the perception is that shooting is the primary part of his game but his “floor game” was equally important to his scoring, (8.9OE, 9.2FG). He has the highest NP per 40 of anyone on the team. Does that make him our best player. Not necessarily, but per 40 minutes he scored 17 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and an assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks. If he did that in a game and somebody said that he was the bets player out there that night, you might agree. 　 GUARDS Scoop Jardine 25.2M 14.1P 3.7R 7.8A 2.1S 0.2B = 27.9+ 6.0MFG 1.3MFT 3.6TO 1.7PF = 12.6- = 15.3NP 6.8OE 8.5FG Previous numbers: After February 24.6M 14.4P 3.9R 8.1A 2.4S 0.2B = 29.0+ 6.0MFG 1.5MFT 3.5TO 1.4PF = 12.4- = 16.6NP 6.9OE 9.7FG After January 23.0M 14.8P 3.7R 8.6A 2.4S 0.2B = 29.7+ 5.7MFG 1.7MFT 3.5TO 1.4PF = 12.3- = 17.4NP 7.4OE 9.9FG After December 21.3M 16.1P 4.9R 7.3A 3.3S 0.1B = 31.7+ 5.6MFG 1.6MFT 3.9TO 1.3PF = 12.4- = 19.3NP 8.9OE 10.4FG After November 18.4M 15.2P 2.4R 9.0A 3.7S 0.0B = 30.3+ 6.5MFG 2.5MFT 3.7TO 0.9PF = 13.6- = 16.7NP 6.2OE 10.5FG Brandon Triche 22.5M 16.6P 4.4R 4.6A 1.8S 0.2B = 27.6+ 8.0MFG 0.9MFT 2.4TO 2.4PF = 13.7- = 13.9NP 7.7OE 6.2FG Previous numbers: After February 22.0M 16.5P 4.3R 4.8A 2.0S 0.2B = 27.8+ 8.1MFG 0.5MFT 2.4TO 2.3PF = 13.3- = 14.5NP 7.9OE 6.6FG After January 22.4M 18.3P 4.3R 5.1A 2.3S 0.3B = 30.3+ 7.9MFG 0.5MFT 2.4TO 2.2PF = 13.0- = 17.3NP 9.9OE 8.4FG After December 21.5M 18.3P 4.0R 5.7A 2.1S 0.4B = 30.5+ 8.7MFG 0.5MFT 2.6TO 2.5PF = 14.3- = 16.2NP 9.1OE 7.1FG After November 21.9M 20.1P 4.4R 6.5A 1.8S 0.5B = 33.3+ 8.6MFG 0.5MFT 3.9TO 2.1PF = 15.1- = 18.2NP 11.0OE 7.2FG Dion Waiters 24.1M 21.0P 3.8R 4.1A 3.0S 0.5B = 32.4+ 8.4MFG 1.4MFT 2.2TO 3.1PF = 15.1- = 17.3NP 11.2OE 6.1FG Previous numbers: After February 23.5M 20.2P 3.9R 4.4A 3.3S 0.6B = 32.4+ 8.6MFG 1.6MFT 2.3TO 2.8PF = 15.3- = 17.1NP 10.0OE 7.1FG After January 22.5M 21.8P 3.2R 4.6A 4.0S 0.7B = 34.3+ 8.6MFG 1.5MFT 2.5TO 2.9PF = 15.5- = 18.8NP 11.7OE 7.1FG After December 21.3M 23.6P 3.1R 5.1A 4.0S 0.5B = 36.3+ 8.0MFG 1.5MFT 2.8TO 2.6PF = 14.9- = 21.4NP 14.1OE 7.3FG After November 22.4M 21.1P 2.8R 6.1A 4.1S 0.8B = 34.9+ 8.4MFG 1.8MFT 2.3TO 3.3PF = 15.8- = 19.1NP 10.9OE 8.2FG Michael Carter-Willliams 7.3M 10.4P 5.7R 8.0A 3.0S 1.0B = 28.1+ 4.9MFG 1.5MFT 2.4TO 3.7PF = 12.5- = 15.6NP +4.0OE +11.6FG Previous numbers: After February 8.6M 10.7P 5.8R 7.8A 2.8S 1.1B = 28.2+ 5.0MFG 1.4MFT 2.3TO 3.3PF = 12.0- = 16.2NP +4.3OE +11.9FG After January: 10.0M 9.3P 5.6R 7.9A 3.0S 1.0B = 26.8+ 5.4MFG 1.6MFT 2.4TO 3.1PF = 12.5- = 14.3NP +2.3OE +12.0FG After December 12.9M 8.5P 5.6R 8.1A 3.1S 1.2B = 26.5+ 5.8MFG 1.7MFT 2.5TO 2.9PF = 13.6- = 13.6NP +1.0OE +12.6FG After November 13.3M 6.9P 6.0R 7.7A 3.9S 1.3B = 25.8+ 7.3MFG 0.9MFT 3.4TO 3.0PF = 14.6- = 11.2NP -1.3OE 12.5FG Mookie Jones has left the program and played only 38 minutes this season- my cut off for numbers from past seasons is 100 minutes- so I’m not including his numbers.
