I like you new spelling for statistics. -
Glad that is all you got out of it. I'll leave it for your personal enjoyment.Originally posted by 1979Shocker View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet.

Well, actually it's interesting that Williams ranks last of the 12 players. Some categories he's not going to be good at - rebounds and blocks. And then there are some he should be good at - steals, assists, and scoring. And then there are some he should be able to control, being a senior - fouls and turnovers. He's not doing that.Comment

Those are good points and are the things that keep him from being an all-conference type player. As a fan, it can be very frustrating when you see how athletically gifted he is and he doesn't seem to make the most of it. However, as WuDrWu and others have mentioned several times, the most important things he brings to the team are defense, effort, and guts, and those don't usually show up on a stat sheet.Originally posted by 1979Shocker View PostComment

A very nice chart. I was thinking of doing a similar chart, but you beat me to it. And your structure is better than what I had in mind.Originally posted by im4wsu View Post"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future."

Nice format and good info. However, in averaging the 10 categories, I do think it is "big man" heavy as to the number of categories that would favor them over others.Comment

You have to remember that basketball is a big man's game, so it's going to favor the "big man".Originally posted by ShockTalk View PostComment

I should probably have not included the first three categories from the overall ranking. Those three, however, are tome very interesting if not important statistics. By comparison, last year Garrett was at 32.5% of defensive rebounds available to him.Originally posted by ShockTalk View Post"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet.

I don't believe that Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, the Big O and so forth are considered "Big Men" in basketball terms.Originally posted by 1979Shocker View PostComment
