2:1

[Gurleyman]

Historically I’ve considered that assist to turnover ratio to be pretty good for a college point guard. Elite ones can do it a little better, and certainly in the nba they can get up higher. But in college when you have heavy playmaking responsibilities, turnovers happen. Kemba, Bazz and El-Amin were a little below 2:1. AJ Price was just about 2:1. Doron Sheffer was right at 2:1 in 1996. Marcus Williams was the one who was a little better - he turned it over a fair amount but had a heavy volume of assists so he got up to about 2.5:1.

We are just a tiny tick under 2:1 as a TEAM this year. Newton, Spencer and Diarra are all in 3:1 turf, and our bigs don’t turn it over much to weigh it down very far.

Crazy good.

Clingan’s improvement is significant. His assist rate (assist divided by teammates’ baskets) has increased from 7.5% to 10.7%, while his turnover rate (percent of his possessions ending with a turnover) has dropped from 18.7% to 6.4%. That barely a third of last years’ turnover rate!

A/TO Currently sixth in the country with 1.92 on a very healthy number of assists. (currently 14th in country at 18.6 assists/game.)

Turnover rate is highly underrated by people, but highly valued by stat projection systems. If he can sustain that, it'll really boost his efficiency metrics and NBA front offices will notice. Right now it's balanced out a bit by his FT shooting. If he can get the FT shooting up to 60-65%, he'll be hyper efficient.

Not in Surf City. After all, they don't seem to be too concerned if your woody breaks down.

Even though for many here he's underperformed what we think he's capable of (including me, to be clear) for whatever reason (fall injury, endurance, whatever), his advanced stats have had him near the top of the NCAA so far. His defense is one reason why: he is still absolutely transformative on the court. The other is probably TO%, which I hadn't realized he had dropped so thoroughly.

Clingan's paasing from the top of the key to cutters or players diving to the rim has been fantastic this year.

And last game he had that long outlet for a lay-up that was positively Unseldesq.

I know, right? I almost deleted it for being off topic.

Some is great awareness getting it to wide open cutters at the right time but he has also shown some incredible touch to thread the needle into some really tight windows.

He and Karaban are starting to develop a really nice chemistry in both directions -- each has looked good making passes to the other for easy buckets.
