kemba was a freak but even look at Erving walker from the gators.. He puts a lot of ugly stuff in the hoop but as a NYC kid that's just a good nights work. It's good you challenge the popular opinion statistically but like any complex problem you always have floating variables. In this case confidence, instinct and the ability to excel when the degree of difficulty is excessive cannot really be measured and translated into something as infinitesimal as minutes per game. At this point it's about situational performance. You have four guards with dynamic skill sets. Like a manager in baseball you can have the best possible strategy and personnel to close out and start a game and still fail. This is where you can't replace things like risk taking, confidence and experience. How many guys had the gumption of a gerry Mac to start gunning as a freshman in the Kansas game? that's just Gerry the player throw aside his percentages. He did it the year before in the pa state playoffs. It's always a gamble to play against the percentages but college hoops is so much more than statistical patterns and bell curves. If you are a math guy as well then you would agree that some vectors reach into an un measurable space... it's 4d ;) good stuff though much more fun to argue bball
