Here is a break-out of each scholarship player’s numbers for the pre-conference games, the conference games and totally:
G= games actually played, M= minutes, P= points, R= rebounds, A= assists, S= steals, B= blocks, 2FG = two point field goals makes and attempts, 3FG = three point field goal makes and attempts, FT= free throws TO = turnovers and PF = personal fouls
Averages are per game, (for every game they were available to play), for minutes, per 40 minutes for everything else. MFG: are missed two pointers and three pointers combined. MFT are missed free throws. + = “positives”, which is P+R+A+S+B. - = “negatives”, which is MFG<9both types), + MFT + TO +PF. NP: “Net Points”, which + minus -. OE: Offensive efficiency, which IS P-MFG-MFT and FG = Floor Game, which is NP-OE.

Comments: If you have a starter that isn’t even averaging playing ½ of a game, you know you’ve got a problem positon. I also have a rule of thumb that an adequate starter is a player who averages at least 10NP per 40 minutes. DaJuan was thus adequate and a little moreso against the lesser completion of the pre-conference schedule and overall but was below adequate in the conference season. Except for blocks, his numbers in the “positives” all significantly went down. On the “negative” side he missed fewer field goals but didn’t shoot free throws nearly as well, (from .826 to .571). He had fewer turnovers but fouled even more. A guy who is averaging 6-7 fouls per 40 minutes obviously isn’t going to play anywhere near 40 minutes.

Comments: Chinoso remains an unknown quantity for one reason: he’s committed 21 fouls in 67 minutes. You just aren’t going to see much of a guy in that situation. One good thing: fouls are his only fault in conference play. He hasn’t missed a field goal or free throw, (not that he attempted any) and hasn’t turned the ball over. He did get 5 rebounds, two stelas and a block in 28 minutes. That’s not bad. But his excessive fouling is an identification that he doesn’t know how to positon himself on defense, still another reason why he can’t get into games. He actually played more minutes last year, (89), not a good sign for his career arc.

Comments: Despite complaints form a coach who obviously believes he is capable of more , Tyler Roberson actually improved his performance in conference play. His positive numbers have actually dropped off slightly in every stat. He’s missing fewer field goals and free throws. In the first case he shot the ball better (.489 vs. .543) on 7.2 shots per game in both parts of the schedule. I seem to remember fewer jump shots being taken so TR stopped taking those shots the coach doesn’t want him to take. His free throw shooting did not improve much (.522 vs. .548) but he got to the line fewer times ((3.5 times a game to 2.3), which could be viewed as a bad thing or, looking at his free throw percentage, a good thing. His turnovers and fouls also went down. But he’s not played well down the stretch: of his four double-doubles, none have come in the last 7 games. As a matter of fact his 11 rebounds in UNCII was his only double figure performance in any stat in that time.

Comments: Tyler had an exceptional freshman year- he’s been a major contributor from day one and will obviously be a key player for this team as long as he’s here. A 6-9 guy who can shoot like that and is also a solid all-around player is a gem. And the fact that he can essentially play three positions for us- center and both forward spots is amazing. His positives remained just about constant through both the pre-conference and conference seasons. He missed a few more shots in conference play. The biggest things, tho0ugh were that he turned the ball over more and committed more fouls. But that was to be expected against tougher completion. And his problems there were not critical. His foul rate still wasn’t anywhere near his mates at the center positon. In fact his fouls probably were the result of the time he had to put in at center, since Coleman was fouling even more and Obokoh wasn’t being used any more.

Comments: Malachi’s overall numbers improved slightly during the conference season. He’d been in a terrible slump during the pre-conference schedule including his infamous St. John’s performance where he must have set some kind of record by miss all 11 three point shots. But he had a great stretch in the conference season where he played so well it looked as if we had two Michael Gbinije’s out there. That’s the exciting thing: he, at times, has looked as good as a freshman as Gbinije is as a fifth year senior. His scoring remained consistent through the two portions of the schedule. His rebounding went down and his assists up in conference play, which meant that he became less of a small forward than a third guard. That’s significant because next year he will be a guard. He’s missed fewer shots in conference play and shown slight improvements in turnovers and fouls. Still, his performance has declined a bit down the stretch: In his last 6 games he's 9 for 28 on two pointers, 11 for 37 on threes and has committed 15 turnovers. He may be hitting the freshman “wall”.

Comments: Michael Gbinije is obviously our beat player. But his numbers are low for a best player, (although Tyler Lydon’s NP/40 is slightly higher at 16.2). 15.7NP per 40 minutes on the season. Last year Rakeem Christmas was 21.6. The 1985-86 team had four players that were 20NP/40 or better. Mike would have finished 6th in NP/40 on the 2009-2010 team. Over the years our top player has averaged 20.4. The second best has averaged 174. And the third best 15.7- exactly the same as Gbinije. In conference Mike’s scoring went down but his missed shots also went down: he wasn’t getting as many shot due to defensive attention. His steals went down and his turnovers went up. He’s ahd some great games but hasn’t really had a great season.

COMMENTS: You can spin it all you want but 7.3NP/40 in conference games just isn’t adequate. Interestingly, his scoring hasn’t dipped all that much and his missed shots have only gone up a little bit. He’s getting fewer steals but he’s also getting fewer turnovers: he takes care of the ball. He’s fouling more. But the big thing is that his assists have gone down sharply. There are other scorers on the team. He’s just not looking for them. And, of course, his output was not that prolific to begin with. He was barely adequate as a starter in the preseason. He’s been inadequate since. He averaged 11.6NP/40 two years ago and 9.2 last year. Now it’s 8.6. We always said that when we had other options, we’d see the real Trevor Cooney. This year we’ve had other options to occupy the defense and we’ve gotten this.

Comments: We’ve gotten glimpses of Frank Howard’s abilities- and of his liabilities. His assist average is easily the best on the team. He’s also an outstanding rebounder for a guard. He steals the ball as well as Cooney or Gbinije. Unfortunately, he cannot shoot. He also turns the ball over too much. The latter could be attributed to his freshman status. But the other is more likely to remain a problem, especially when Tyus Battle comes in expecting to be our point guard. It remains to be seen if he’ll ever be anything more than a back-up, although if Battle is as good as they say, Howard is a guy who could re-emerge late in his career.

Comments: Despite complaints form a coach who obviously believes he is capable of more , Tyler Roberson actually improved his performance in conference play. His positive numbers have actually dropped off slightly in every stat. He’s missing fewer field goals and free throws. In the first case he shot the ball better (.489 vs. .543) on 7.2 shots per game in both parts of the schedule. I seem to remember fewer jump shots being taken so TR stopped taking those shots the coach doesn’t want him to take. His free throw shooting did not improve much (.522 vs. .548) but he got to the line fewer times ((3.5 times a game to 2.3), which could be viewed as a bad thing or, looking at his free throw percentage, a good thing. His turnovers and fouls also went down. But he’s not played well down the stretch: of his four double-doubles, none have come in the last 7 games. As a matter of fact his 11 rebounds in UNCII was his only double figure performance in any stat in that time.

Comments: Tyler had an exceptional freshman year- he’s been a major contributor from day one and will obviously be a key player for this team as long as he’s here. A 6-9 guy who can shoot like that and is also a solid all-around player is a gem. And the fact that he can essentially play three positions for us- center and both forward spots is amazing. His positives remained just about constant through both the pre-conference and conference seasons. He missed a few more shots in conference play. The biggest things, tho0ugh were that he turned the ball over more and committed more fouls. But that was to be expected against tougher completion. And his problems there were not critical. His foul rate still wasn’t anywhere near his mates at the center positon. In fact his fouls probably were the result of the time he had to put in at center, since Coleman was fouling even more and Obokoh wasn’t being used any more.

Comments: Malachi’s overall numbers improved slightly during the conference season. He’d been in a terrible slump during the pre-conference schedule including his infamous St. John’s performance where he must have set some kind of record by miss all 11 three point shots. But he had a great stretch in the conference season where he played so well it looked as if we had two Michael Gbinije’s out there. That’s the exciting thing: he, at times, has looked as good as a freshman as Gbinije is as a fifth year senior. His scoring remained consistent through the two portions of the schedule. His rebounding went down and his assists up in conference play, which meant that he became less of a small forward than a third guard. That’s significant because next year he will be a guard. He’s missed fewer shots in conference play and shown slight improvements in turnovers and fouls. Still, his performance has declined a bit down the stretch: In his last 6 games he's 9 for 28 on two pointers, 11 for 37 on threes and has committed 15 turnovers. He may be hitting the freshman “wall”.

Comments: Michael Gbinije is obviously our beat player. But his numbers are low for a best player, (although Tyler Lydon’s NP/40 is slightly higher at 16.2). 15.7NP per 40 minutes on the season. Last year Rakeem Christmas was 21.6. The 1985-86 team had four players that were 20NP/40 or better. Mike would have finished 6th in NP/40 on the 2009-2010 team. Over the years our top player has averaged 20.4. The second best has averaged 174. And the third best 15.7- exactly the same as Gbinije. In conference Mike’s scoring went down but his missed shots also went down: he wasn’t getting as many shot due to defensive attention. His steals went down and his turnovers went up. He’s ahd some great games but hasn’t really had a great season.

COMMENTS: You can spin it all you want but 7.3NP/40 in conference games just isn’t adequate. Interestingly, his scoring hasn’t dipped all that much and his missed shots have only gone up a little bit. He’s getting fewer steals but he’s also getting fewer turnovers: he takes care of the ball. He’s fouling more. But the big thing is that his assists have gone down sharply. There are other scorers on the team. He’s just not looking for them. And, of course, his output was not that prolific to begin with. He was barely adequate as a starter in the preseason. He’s been inadequate since. He averaged 11.6NP/40 two years ago and 9.2 last year. Now it’s 8.6. We always said that when we had other options, we’d see the real Trevor Cooney. This year we’ve had other options to occupy the defense and we’ve gotten this.

Comments: We’ve gotten glimpses of Frank Howard’s abilities- and of his liabilities. His assist average is easily the best on the team. He’s also an outstanding rebounder for a guard. He steals the ball as well as Cooney or Gbinije. Unfortunately, he cannot shoot. He also turns the ball over too much. The latter could be attributed to his freshman status. But the other is more likely to remain a problem, especially when Tyus Battle comes in expecting to be our point guard. It remains to be seen if he’ll ever be anything more than a back-up, although if Battle is as good as they say, Howard is a guy who could re-emerge late in his career.
