Well I guess I’ll be the first to not be so cautious as everyone else and say it - I think this team has the potential to be A LOT better than 20-30. Let’s look at Houston’s (a team picked #1 in early projections) starting 5. Our projected starting 5 averages MUCH MORE per game than theirs does. And while that may not be everything, it’s something. I think this team is potentially top 10.

It's too early in the day for hard drugs.

Defensive efficiency is another part of the equation here. Without looking at the numbers, I'll bet Houston has the advantage in that category.

If they had the same coach, maybe. Sampson is a top 3ish coach rn in the game

Agreed. IF everyone is healthy and we are at a full go, I think this team wins between 20-25+ games next season. Barring any unforeseen setbacks or new injuries, we should be in the tourney and Porter has a job here as long as he wants. I personally think Porter leaves before Porter is fired at this point.

I agree with this.

The last two months seemed to turn the momentum in our programs favor. Stack some wins on it, and that should continue. If healthy, as stated.

If we don't get the arena deal past the courts and construction started, I would expect it to be a trigger to cause PM to leave for something better. And I can't blame him.

sam was busy showing in games that he was not a primary center winning player

And yet, somehow their per-minute stats are remarkably even, with Wague fouling 42% more than Godwin.

except they weren't ... only the counting stats

Pretty embarrassing for Duke - I guess he doesn’t want to compete for a starting job ?

 

[Moneyball]

This dude didn’t seem like a head case when he was here… maybe he is tho?

But wague was different the last half of the season when he became the starter and I imagine, more minutes. Imagine if he had had those minutes in the non-con instead. That is our point

Also Godwin's #s get the benefit of getting the lion's share of the non-con mins with +300 ranked teams...

I don't understand column #3 at all.

But extrapolating from columns #1 & #2, our conference is the conference that people want to come to.

You conveniently did not respond to my last message about their stats, but breaking things down to a simplified per-minute production fails to look at a lot of things. The overwhelming majority of the advanced stats favor Wague for the entirety of the season with an on/off net rating differential of +11.9 (highest on the team) against an on/off net rating differential of -4.6 for Godwin (tied for second lowest). Wague affected the game much more positively for OU this past season. He was a more efficient scorer, a better free throw shooter, a better passer, and a better rebounder. The numbers posted earlier show this. I'm not really sure what the argument you're trying to make is here. It was clear to anyone watching that the team played better with Wague on the floor and the numbers back that up.

Basically, his argument is that the head coach is always right when it comes to playing time decisions because “if so and so showed that he was the better option in practice, the coach would play him more because the coach is fighting for his job.”

Did Duke make it 2 weeks?

 

[austing7]

this checks out... and A&M might be ready to compete right off the bat with McMillan
