Sports Illustrated's most disappointing player of the year: Willie Warren.

[MNsooner]

Your feeling is he intentionally left Eddie off? It seems much more likely it was an oversight, or he considered the decade to be the past 10 years.


I digress, I should just let Denver defend himself.

Why would you leave Eddie off? I think the point of the statistic was to associate Warren with other sooner greats. If he were intentionally skewing the statistics I think he would do so to include Najera if the point was to say that Warren's season is at least scoring wise as good as some players we all readily accept are good.

There seems to be some correlation between shot attempts and scoring average.

I could have told you that without you having to do all that work.

good point, can't argue your logic there

got any good theories on McGhee?

Averaging 16 points a game on good teams (Blake and Hollis) is a lot different than averaging 16 points a game on the worst team the school has had in 30 years.

With that being said, I am actually hoping he comes back. With all the negative stuff, it seems like a great opportunity for him to come back and redeem himself, get his reputation back, and then go to the NBA.

That seems unlikely, but my outlook on next year would actually improve with Willie coming back.

+1

My point was that Denver found a statistic to put Willie up there with sooner greats. So why leave Najera and Ace off intentionally? I am just saying that it is more likely he made a mistake than was intentionally misrepresenting his data in a way that doesn't make his point stronger.

yeah, I like looking at numbers though,besides somebody requested to see something of this sort earlier in the thread.

Highest Pts per total shot attempt for a season during this time period for players who avg more than 11FGA per game are as following:

1.Price 03 1.08
2.Price 02 1.05
3.Griffin 09 1.02
4.TMG 10 .99
4.Redmond 00 .99
6.Ere 02 .95
7.Warren 10 .93
8.McGhee 02 .92
9. Najera 00 .88
9.Everett 06 .88
11.Ere 03 .84

without looking at the numbers I would have thought it would have been Blake by a landslide.

I understood your point, I like your rationale on Najera and I was sincerely curious if you had any similarly good theories on the McGhee omission. I guess the answer to that question is no, just an oversight.

Wasn't SI the one who had WW Preseason Player of the Year? Probably why they picked him as "most disappointing".

Boy that is ugly, WW would be smart ot come back and try to play his way into a Lotto pick. That's if Capel will let him come back

I thought it was Sporting News.

Willie Warren padded his stats against crappy teams. That is why he is averaging 16 PPG.
