Gavin tweeted these insane statistics showing how similar the teams performance is, and how we have actually improved in many areas (FG%!!) from last year.
It had me dive deeper, because these teams play very different styles. We focused on paint forcing and off ball screens last year, very rarely incorporating all 5 players in a possession. This year every possession seems to have 4-5 guys touching the ball.
We also played with “more” pace last year, 199th in pace 2023 vs. 316th so far this year, so I pulled the Point Per Possession charts from Torvik and the results are really interesting.
*Squares mean conference games, circles are OOC.
Last year we struggled immensely playing with a slow pace in conference play, 5 of our 7 losses came when we had 100 or fewer rating(1PPS). This year so far, only 2 games have been under 100 rating.
Does this mean we have slowed our pace dramatically and purposefully, but we have increased our PPG, PPS and FG% at the same time?
Explain this coaching wizardry to me please. Idk how Danny does it.
