Some pretty wild takes in here. He would come in immediately as one, if not, the best players on the team.

The highest Points Over Replacement Per Adjusted Game at that Usage (PORPAGATU!) for UConn this season was Vital (3.9) followed by Bouknight (3.1). Fatts was 4.2 (80th best in the country). Again from my Cole post earlier this year, think of this like WAR (Wins Above Replacement).

Alternatively, by Box Plus/Minus, Vital was 8.6 and Bouknight 4.4. Fatts was 7.6 (51st in the country).

I don't think anyone was expecting to replace Vital and instead the stats spread out between Bouk/Cole, but Fatts would come in and basically be able replicate the scoring numbers (Vital 34% from 3 this year, Fatts 36% from 3 this year).

Fatts gets to the line a little bit more, but obviously very few shoot it at the same FT clip as CV (althought Fatts shot better at the FT as a junior than CV as a junior so maybe this continues to improve). And as [USER=5842]@UConnStats[/USER] noted his 2P% (both at the rim and mid range) isn't great, but even so still a very effective player as the advanced metrics show.

Would be a huge get for UConn & Hurley.
