The Holes We Dig

[WichitaSooner]

My eyes work just fine. Your stats are stale. Reaves has been anything but solid since conference season started. He's been downright bad. He attempts to play beyond his abilities.

How do you know? I thought you were enjoying NOT watching Sooner basketball?

Seems to me when Doo starts off with misses he’s pretty much gonna be that player the rest of the game. We are def running plays for him early or he’s been given the OK to shoot early. So when they don’t fall we have these early deficits. I honestly think it’s that simple

Reaves isn't in the top 20 in the league in ANY meaningful statistic. Tell me what stat you think makes him a "solid" player.

This is funny.

He is 10th in scoring 10th in FF shooting. 15th in rebounding 16th in asts

But yeah other than that he is not in the top 20 of anything meaning full

In conference play, for the team, Reaves is:
8th (out of 9) in FG%, tied for 2nd in attempts
6th (out of 8) in 3pt%, tied for 1st in attempts
69% from FT
Has 20 turnovers, 2nd place has 10. They both have the same number of assists (21)
1st in fouls
1st in usage rate
6th (out of 9) in Wins Share

Stats are fun.

Funny is THOSE are the stats you are going to cite to back up he is having a solid year?? REALLY?

I thought you were digging into stats like offensive rating, defensive rating, offensive win shares, defensive win shares, win shares, win shares per 40 minutes, offensive and defensive box plus/minus and overall plus/minus all of which if you will, to use your words, "scroll down a little further", you will find Reaves nowhere in the top 20 in the league.

Truth be told, I'm not really a stats guy, that's just what you were using, but only the surface stats it appears. You could look at Wednesdays box score and say Reaves had a solid game, but would you say that about ANYBODY, including Reaves, for that game? I'm not here to bash Reaves, he is just one of MANY problems on this team, but if you can watch the games and say he is having a solid year, we obviously have a different definition of solid.
