Leffew, Leproud, Lemarines

Tee beat you to it.

Tee beat you to it.

I beat everybody to it last Friday.

We have to pay Jarhead Jim a nickel every time.

Ok now I really want him.

 

[Cuse181]

Kids a stud. Idc what anyone says. Look around there are big time players in the tourney from small schools or transferred from small schools all over. Dalton Knecht says hello. Talent translates regardless of what size D1 school you are.

I don’t think anyone is arguing he isn’t good, just questioning how this move solves a major problem from last year: trying to force a shoot first CG to become a traditional PG

 

[Cuse2023]

I just gave you the Knecht's overall numbers in these games. If your point is that he's literally not a perfect basketball player, then I guess you got me.

My point was your claim that there was no drop off when he played against the top competition is extremely false.

Apparently, it’s not a done deal yet!

FIFY- Judah was a head down bull his way into the paint to get a foul CG. Shoot first implies he is a shooter to which he is most definitely not. Leffew is a different kind of CG

Agree. I am not super excited about another combo at point, but I think we're definitely moving in the right direction. Judah who has a ton of individual talent, did not make this years team better.

So we actually have to go through the same dog and pony show/roller coaster of craziness that we do with recruiting high school kids? Good lord. Wake me up when this is all over.

I said "basically" no drop off. There was a very slight drop off. His TS% on the season was 58.6% and it dropped to 56.3%. 23 points and 8 rebounds per 40 dropped off to 21 points and 8 rebounds per 40. If you think that's a significant drop off, I fear what you think of Leffew's.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yep. trying to project how someone will do based on previous boxscores is insane.

No, its the internet.

nah he announced that just to make Franky Pizza and that 181 poster feel better when he signs with us

I don’t really understand “true shooting percentage.” I mean, how do they even figure that? Anyhow, it’s interesting that Maliq Brown is 2nd in the country in TS%. If that’s so valued, then it would be nice if he returned.

Not that you triggered the debate - but it’s probably more realistic to compare PG to PG than a wing like Knecht in this kind of analysis too. Especially when it comes to efficiency numbers. Knecht was always good and looking at his numbers was clearly underrated as a grad txfr prospect to begin with which of course is obviously the case given he became one of the best players in the whole country.

It doesn’t factor the dynamics of position or difficulty of shots which can skew things a bit ( not that Maliq wasn’t an extremely efficient player just lower volume too)

Imagine if this goes a different direction and we hired who we hired as an assistant?

This board would be out of this world. And I wouldn't blame anyone.

You can keep looking at his TS% but I'm looking at his actual field goal % and am seeing a drop off and its more than slight.

Adds in FTs.

Edit: Sorry, not 3's. Just FTs.

eFG adds in 3's.

The formula is Points / (2 x (FGA + (0.44 x FTA))). Research basically showed that on average, 44% of free throws take up a possession (technical fouls and and-one's don't take a possession and 3 point fouls take slightly more, so instead of each free throw being worth half of a FGA, it's slightly less).

It basically just exists to help value 3 point shooting and free throws in a way that normal FG% do not.

It does essentially add in 3's as well because for example if you took and made one FGA and it was a 3 versus someone doing the same with a 2, you end up with a TS% of 150% vs. 100%.

If he’s a backup guard I’m ecstatic, too bad all indications are that he is being looked at as a starting guard. If you liked watching this years PG play then you’ll be thrilled.

He has a sharp agent

Clearly you haven’t watched any of his games . Leffew is nothing like Judah
