[B]The team was not good at assists. We were 11th in the ACC. Partly due to nobody being able to shoot and also the offense which was iso centric.[/B][/quote]

Makes you really appreciate Michael Carter-Williams's assist numbers (and overall importance to the offense) last year, huh?

Basically the same team as last year, just sub Triche & Southerland for Cooney & Grant, about the same PPG (slightly lower PPG from Cooney & Grant) while the team as a whole shot about the same percentage on the season (last year 439% FG, this year 437% FG), yet:

Michael Carter-Williams still was able to rack up the second most assists ever in a season at SU with 291 in 40 games (7.3 per game) - [B]or more than half of the team's total 562 assists![/B]

Next on team was Triche, with 144 assists in 40 games (3.6 per game).

Just for comparison:  Ennis lead team with 187 assists in 34 games (5.5 per game) this year, still very good, with little under half of team's total 402 assists.  Followed by Grant with 44, Fair with 43, G with 41, and Cooney with 38.  Yikes.

People can make all the "jump-pass turnover" jokes they want about MCW last year, but I cringe to think about how the offense may have looked without him out there trying to make plays & set guys up for open shots.
