Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4587060, member: 289"] I will again be doing a report after each game this season and a summary report at the end of each month. (I’ve eliminated some stats from previous years to streamline this post.) This is limited to recruited scholarship players only. Net Points (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks minus missed field goals and free throws, turnovers and personal fouls) Average net points/40 by position, (based on averaging 20+ minutes per game), since the 1980-81 season: Centers 18.6; Power Forwards: 18.4; Small Forwards: 16.1, Shooting Guards: 13.3; Point Guards: 13.5 Jesse Edwards +26NP in 34 minutes = +593NP in 966 minutes = +24.6NP/40 for season Judah Mintz +20NP in 38 minutes = +369NP in 996 minutes = +14.8NP/40 for season Benny Williams +19NP in 30 minutes = +190NP in 624 minutes = +12.0NP/40 for season Maliq Brown +3NP in 19 minutes = +245NP in 548 minutes = +17.9NP/40 for season Joe Girard +2NP in 33 minutes = +340NP in 1,029 minutes = +13.2NP/40 for season Justin Taylor +1NP in 18 minutes = +113NP in 485 minutes = +9.3NP/40 for season Symir Torrence 0NP in 18 minutes = +103NP in 322 minutes = +12.8NP/40 for season Quadir Copeland -3NP in 6 minutes = +19NP in 158 minutes = +4.8NP/40 for season DNP coach’s decision John Bol Ajak 0NP in 0 minutes = +34NP in 122 minutes = +11.1NP/40 for season Mounir Hima 0NP in 0 minutes = +51NP in 195 minutes = +10.5NP/40 for season Coach’s Dog House Chris Bell 0NP in 0 minutes = +95NP in 548 minutes = +6.9NP/40 for season Injured or ill and couldn’t play None Suspended None Redshirting Peter Carey 0NP in 0 minutes = -2NP in 20 minutes = -4.0NP/40 for season Out for the year None Left Team Awards Offensive Dude of the Game, (O-Dog) (Points plus assists) Judah Mintz 23 points and 7 assists = 30 Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goal and free throw attempts) Jesse Edwards 18 points – 4mfg – 0mft = +14 Scoring Efficiency (Percentage of points scored divided by points they would have scored if they made every shot- minimum 10 possible points) Benny Williams 11 points of 15 = 73.3% My Man (Who played the most minutes?) Judah Mintz 38 minutes TEAM STATS Possession Rebounding (Add each team’s offensive rebounds to their opponent’s defensive rebounds. Then figure the offensive rebounds as a percentage of that) We rebounded 5 of our 29 misses = 17.2% They rebounded 10 of their 33 misses = 30.3% Unsettled Situations [Second Chance Points+ Points off Turnovers] divided by [Offensive Rebounds + Opposition Turnovers) We had 19 points in 14 unsettled situations = 1.357 points/situation They had 27 points in 20 unsettled situations = 1.350 points/situation Manufactured Possessions (One teams rebounds + the other team’s turnovers) We had 28 + 9 = 37 They had 34 + 10 = 44 Scoring Shooting (Shots made and attempted and the percentage for two point goal attempts, three point attempts and free throws) We were 23 for 39 on twos, (59.0%), 4 for 17 on threes (23.5%) and 18 for 20 on frees (90.0%) They were 17 for 27 on twos, (63.0%), 18 for 40 on threes (45.0%) and 8 for 10 on frees (80.0%) Points (PIP= points in the paint, “The Inner Sanctum” POP = points outside the paint, which is total points – PIP -free throws made OL= points from “The Outer Limits” (three point shots) TZ= “Twilight Zone”, which is POP – TREY, (two point jumpers from outside the paint) FT = Free Throws We had 42 PIP, 16 POP, 12 OL, 4 TZ, 18 FT They had 28 PIP, 60 POP, 54 OL, 6 TZ, 8 FT Fast Break Percentage (FBP/(defensive rebounds + blocks + steals) We scored 17 FBP in 31 opportunities (54.8%) They scored 17 FBP in 33 opportunities (57.5%) First Chance/Second Chance (FCP is First Chance Points, which is total points - second chance points – fast break points – free throws made. SCP is second chance points.) We had 37 FCP and 4 SCP They had 56 FCP and 15 SCP Starters/Bench (Total points – bench points = starters points) Our starters scored 65 points and our bench scored 11 points. Their starters scored 96 points and their bench scored 0 points. Efficiency Assists (The percentage of a team’s baskets that were assisted) We assisted 17 of our 27 field goals = 63.0% They assisted 27 of their 35 field goals = 77.1% Team Offensive Possession Efficiency (Possessions: Field goals attempted - offensive rebounds + turnovers + 47.5% of free throws attempted. Efficiency is total points divided by possessions) We scored 76 points in 71 possessions = 1.070 points/ possession They scored 96 points in 71 possessions = 1.352 points/possession It was a 142-possession game. If we just use FGA + (47.5% FTA) and thus count an offensive rebound as an additional possession and a turnover as a lost possession: We scored 76 points in 66 possessions = 1.152 points/ possession They scored 96 points in 72 possessions = 1.333 points/possession Team Shooting Efficiency (Points minus missed field goals and free throws) We scored 76 points, missed 29 field goals and missed 2 free throws = net +45 They scored 96 points, missed 22 field goals and missed 2 free throws = net +62 (Points scored divided by potential points scored if we’d made every shot) We scored 76 on 39 two-point attempts, 40 three-point attempts and 10 free throw attempts = 76 of a possible 149 points = 51.1% of possible points scored. They scored 96 on 27 two-point attempts, 17 three-point attempts and 20 free throw attempts = 96 of a possible 184 points = 52.2% of possible points scored. Fouls (Most fouls are called on two point shot attempts.) We attempted 39 two-point shots and were fouled 14 times = 2.79 They attempted 27 two-point shots and were fouled 11 times = 2.45 Comments: - Every point for Tech was scored by their starters, who played 37-39 minutes each. JB must have envied Josh Pastner to have five guys he trusts to win the game for him. - Benny Williams has had consecutive 20 and 19NP games. Will he be the star of next eyar’s team? - Quadir Copeland is very athletic and has some skills but statistically he’s having a terrible, mostly because he can’t shoot. - Judah Mintz had a great game with 30NP, (most since Joe Girard had 35 in the first Georgia Tech game). Imagine how well he would have done if his jump shot (1 for 6 from three) hadn’t turned into a pumpkin. - Basically, they couldn’t stop our top 3 guys but we couldn’t stop their top 4 guys. - We out-shot Duke, Clemson and Pittsburgh from three 44%-43% but they got off 143 attempts to our 67. Tech, which came in shooting 33%, shot 45% while we shot 23.5%. If we’d shot 44%, we would have had 7-8 three instead of 4.That would at least have made the final margin a little easier to swallow, even if the result wasn’t. - The volume of three pointers we have to defend pulls apart our defense inside the arc. Duke shot 59% on two pointers, 69%, 59% and 62%. Bill Russell couldn’t cover both posts and both corners unless there was two of him. - JB pointed out that a lot of those threes produce rebounds that go to the high post. Our failure to keep them out of the high post thus produces a lot of offensive rebounds for the other teams. The four teams we’ve lost to in this streak. That’s why the offensive rebounds have been 33-50. - Tech had 60 ‘POP’, (points outside the paint), the second most of the season: #1 was Colgate 61. - Both teams had 17 fast break points, a high total these days. The fact that we pressed for much of the game was factor in this. It speeds up the game, for better or worse. - At least we were more competitive in the assists battle: Duke 7/19 = 36.8% vs. 22/30 = 73.3% Clemson 9/27 = 33.3% vs. 28/34 = 82.4% Pittsburgh 13/28 = 46.4% vs. 27/32 = 84.4% Georgia Tech 17/27 = 63.0% vs. 27/35 = 77.1% The season averages have been 52.6 – 72.6% [/QUOTE]
