Message: [QUOTE="Cusefannotindc, post: 1178354, member: 1567"] During conference play the team (times when Ennis was on the court) was better offensively and worse defensively but they evened each other out. When Cooney was on the court OE was 105 and DE was 97, when he was off the court it was 103 and 95. When Cooney was on the court the team was getting better shots on offense, more 3s, when he wasn't 49% of shots were 2 point jumpers. 64% of shots at the rim were made, vs just 50% when he wasn't. His presence was likely stretching the defense. The team was pulling down slightly more offensive rebounds and turned the ball over slightly less. Defensively the team would get a lower percentage of the rebounds and less turnovers when Cooney was on the court, and the other teams' shots came at the rim at the same percentage but made 57% vs 48%. My guess is Gbinije's length at the top of the zone lead to less penetration by opposing guards and his size helped bring down more rebounds. [/QUOTE]
