Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5539915, member: 722"] By block% William Kyle is every bit the shotblocker Jeremy McNeil was. Kyle was at 9.0% on the season last year, and was 10.2 in Big Ten conference play. McNeil's best season (they started tracking block% our championship year), he was 9.5% Two things to consider: Block% measures the percentage of the time you block an opponent's shot while you are on the floor. But it only counts 2pt field goal attempts. The percentage of shots from 2pt relative to 3pt shots has gone down dramatically since 2002-2003. McNeil had many more chances per game to block shots. Secondly, every one of us remembers McNeil tremendously, heroically, spectacularly saving our championship run by blocking 72 shots in a row during our epic comeback against Oklahoma State. This makes him the standard for all future shotblockers. Not statistically, but in our hearts and minds. [/QUOTE]
