Take all the positives: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and subtract the negatives: missed field goals, miss free throws, turnovers and fouls. The result is “Net Points.” (NP). M = minutes.
Dion Waiters +26NP in 21M season: +111NP in 214M per 40M: +20.7NP
Michael Carter-Williams +13NP in 18M season: +46NP in 123M per 40M: +15.0NP
Fab Melo +12NP in 21M season: +79NP in 223M per 40M: +14.2NP
Kris Joseph +12NP in 27M season: +132NP in 287M per 40M: +18.4NP
CJ Fair +10NP in 20M season: +93NP in 240M per 40M: +15.5NP
Scoop Jardine +6NP in 18M season: +96NP in 204M per 40M: +18.8NP
Brandon Triche +6NP in 21M season: +91NP in 229M per 40M: +15.9NP
Baye Moussa Keita +5NP in 15M season: +45NP in 122M per 40M: +14.8NP
Rakeem Christmas +5NP in 20M season: +38NP in 137M per 40M: +11.1NP
James Southerland -1NP in 13M season: +102NP in 157M per 40M: +25.9NP
Mookie Jones 0NP in 0M season: 0NP in 26M per 40M: 0.0NP
Comment: Southerland’s season average is still high but starting to sag. Waiters is establishing himself as the real star of the team. But we’ve got a lot of guys who can play. We seem to have a “Noah’s Ark Team”- two of everything.
Shooting Breakdown: SU was 28/49 from inside the arc, (.571), 4/15 from outside, (.267) and 17/19 from the line (.895). George Washington was 16/44 (.364), 3/18, (.167). and 9/16, (.563) 20 of our 32 baskets were assisted, (62.5%), vs. 13 of George Washington’s 19, (68%).
Rebounding: Syracuse had 10 offensive and 28 defensive rebounds. George Washington had 19 offensive and 23 defensive rebounds. That means that when we missed, we got the rebound 30% of the time. When they missed, they got the rebound 40% of the time. George Washington had 18 turnovers, of which 11 were Syracuse steals, (61%). Syracuse had 8 turnovers of which 6 were George Washington steals, (75%). We had 56 “manufactured” possessions, (our rebounds + their turnovers). They had 52.
And, thanks to Blacksquirrels and Knicks411, I now understand how to compute “points per possession, (field goal attempts – offensive rebounds + turnovers plus 47.5% of free throws attempted) and here they are:
Syracuse: 64 FGA minus 10 offensive rebounds plus 8 turnovers plus 47.5% of 19 free throws = 71.025 possessions. The possessions can’t be more than one off so I’ll call that 70 possessions in which we scored 85 points or 1.214 points per possession. For the season it’s 1.158.
George Washington: 62-19+18 plus 47.5% of 16 = 68.6 possessions. Let’s call that 69 possessions, (so we won’t be more than one off) in which they scored 50 points or 0.725 points per possession. For the season it’s 0.832.
Dry stretches were a problem last year- we’d go 8-10 minutes with the offense not functioning. I decided it should be a goal to score at least 15 points in every 10 minute “quarter” of the game, (college is the only level that doesn’t have quarters). You want to score more than that, of course, but if we can avoid falling under 15 in any ten minute period we should have a good scoring average because we’ll have 20 and 25 point quarters as well. The “quarterly” splits in this game were 26-12, 19-13, 20-13, 20-12. We’ve had 5 sub 15 point quarters this year and lost six quarters (of 40).
