yogisballin Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Alex O’Connell announced he’s transferring from Duke today.

He struggled shooting the ball in his 3 years at Duke. We need a shooter or a young wing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app GaryP 1 Quote

yogisballin Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Not any different yet improved statistically in every stat. Simple question: who was our best guard last season?If I have to pick 1, I’m gonna have to go with Durham. Anyone disagree? If so, why?Having to pick Al really helps put this passed season in perspective a lil huh?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
HoosierAloha Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 They both helped and hurt. Neither were good. But I’d say the difference is the ability to not turn it over. That’s the biggest difference between the two. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appCan we count Green’s “why the **** would you shoot that” shots into the turnover category? Green might have set the individual assists for a season if we counted those for the opponent. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart and MikeRoberts 2 Quote

Plain and simple. Just not good enough. But sometimes I second guess myself and wonder whose fault it is, the player or the coach? Really not sure anymore.

The same site you are pulling those numbers of off will tell you the his offensive win share was 0.3. That's lower than Al (1.7), Devonte (0.8), and Rob (0.5). Quote

Leal though is good. He’s going to immediately compete for minutes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Cool, Leal will compete for minutes. Al's been doing more than just competing for minutes for three straight years. And you started the gem with "Franklin was a freshman" and then totally dis missed that Leal will be one next year. woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appIsn't everything you said in this discussion and other discussions your opinion? You do know you aren't the only one who knows basketball in these discussions you have with others, yet you continually dismiss any one who has a different opinion.

So let's look at those shooting numbers: Per 40 minutes: Nolley: shots per 40 minutes: 19.1 shots per game, 37% overall, 44% eFG, 4.5 out of 10.5 from 2 (42%), 2.8 out of 8.9 from 3 (32%), 3.2 assists, 3.6 turnovers. Green: shots per 40 minutes: 17.6 shots per game, 37% overall, 47% eFG, 2.7 out of 7.3 from 2 (38%), 3.7 out of 10.3 (36%), 3.9 assists, 3.2 turnovers. Not exactly the stats I want to see. And what's even scarier is how tremendously bad he was shooting against the real competition once conference play started.....34 of 134 from three (24.6%). Anybody can be a shooter. I want a maker.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Because you made the claim that Durham would be our fourth or fifth guard next year and then refuse to face the reality that he was our best guard last year.....and if your opinion that Green was our best guard, that is even more reason that Durham wouldn't see minutes drop because our 'best guard' is gone. You do understand that not putting five guys on the the court isn't an option, right? This ain't Hickory. Quote
