2008-2009 Shocker Men's Prouty Ratings

[im4wsu]

What is it that Hatch does that makes his rating so bad?

Is it just lack of scoring?

Hatch is the team leader in +/- per minute played. To me, that indicates that he is doing what he is supposed to be doing in all the other areas; defending, rebounding, screening, etc. After reading the Eagle about toughness, Hatch is the one Shocker that comes to my mind immediately.

Thanks for the 6 game stats. Interesting items during the 6 game stretch:

Our 4's are rated #1 and #5 . . . probably our strongest position when we are doing well. Will be interesting next year to see how AE and GB split the minutes.

Our 3's were only #6 & #10 during our hot streak . . . looks like Coy could get plenty of opportunities next year.

Kyles is in the top 7. He has tremendous upside and it is good to see his minutes starting to creep up. When he is on the floor with TM and AE, our D takes on a different look. I wonder if DK could play the 3? He doesn't seem to stroke it like TM or Reggie at the 2 but he should be athletic enough to play the 3 in most instances (he's about PJ's height and PJ was a pretty good 3).

Kyles just needs more playing time. He's a good shooter. He just needs to minimize his freshman mistakes. Here are his field goal and free throw percentages compared to Murry's.

When you win the previous game (MSU in last place) and 10 of 11 players in the next victory (UNI in 1st place) have improved their rating, that's a TEAM win and a great indication of things to come.

That 0.417 rating for the TEAM was the best rating we've had so far in conference play. The only other ratings in the 400's or higher were in non-conference play and not all those were tough opponents.

Florida A&M: 0.565 (It always helps your rating to win the first game of the season.)
Centenary: 0.470
Siena: 0.423
Gardner-Web: 0.404
North Dakota: 0.434

I wouldn't discount the 0.400+ rating against Siena, but the Shockers were clearly a much greener team then.

The Shox were firing on all cylinders last night, 18 assists on 25 baskets being the stat of the night IMHO (the 8 TO weren't bad, either). It was a sight to see, and I would say that the bench's big makes in the second half were what won us the game.

Our best wins of the season were Siena, Creighton here (0.386), Illinois State here (0.386), Northern Iowa here (0.417), and our road win against Indiana State (0.385). Those 4 wins in the conference also happen to be our top 4 rated conference games.

It is always more fun to post this after a win.

Graham Hatch continues to increase his team-leading contribution to a positive scoreboard. Despite relatively poor shooting (Prouty .338), he is +18.3 in points per 40 minutes. In actual numbers, he and Durley (Prouty .273) were +11 in 24 and 25 minutes respectively.

Ellis (Prouty .231) was +7 in 23 minutes and Hannah (Prouty .565) was +9 in 32 minutes.
