Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2159978"] Check your per 40 stats again, sir. Lydon was slightly worse in conference play than non-conference play in terms of points and rebounds. 3 point shooting % dipped and FG% increased. That's not the point, though. The point is that we're touting him as some kind of superstar when his performance last season would typically peg him as the 3rd best player on most Syracuse teams in the last few decades. Gillon did get better in conference play because he started playing more. He still had atrocious games, though. The game winners might offset all the atrocious performances, but since we're talking about replacing production, we have to look at averages. Per 40, Gillon put up 14 points and 7 assists on 10 FG attempts. For perspective, the PG everybody considers to be the worst thing to ever happen in history, Frank Howard, put up 10 and 9 on 10 FG attempts. [/QUOTE]
