Big East DPOY Race

Obviously just 1 stat but the talk about these 2 on the board has been very different

 

[uconnfan68]

Biased stat. Guards have a much lower number guarding shots from further away.

i found this response from vecenie pretty interesting, too! worth pointing out that whaley is the only big on that list (interior players tend to average a higher fg%)

Whaley’s stats are down, but if you watch him he’s the most intimidating and active defender in the conference from 30 ft out to the rim.

And he is coming on strong as the March to March Madness continues.

 

[UconnU]

Posh Alexander’s numbers are impressive given that he’s 5’10, on a good day. Gritty NYC kid we should have recruited.

 

[Chin Diesel]

UConn has two players on that list. No one else does.
That means UConn has to win the DP of the year.

I think he would be the favorite to win it right now.

Spicy take.

 

[bendm]

factor in the other defensive stats i.e. rebounds (5.8), steals (.6), and blocks (1.6) and i think whaley is the runaway favorite

 

[bendm]

you dont get extra credit for using your off hand

minaya- 5.9 rebs/.7 steals/.8 blocks

just barely ahead of whaley in the first two categories by .1 each but half of whaleys bpg

 

[Huskyforlife]

Announcers always talk about this kid but when I watch y’all I never notice him. Did he play well against us?

 

[bendm]

as the only big man on that list that guards other bigs that can normally shoot around 50%, whaleys 35% is more impressive than minayas 25%

 

[bendm]

it is.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Idk I notice Morsell, and it’s not like he stopped Martin from getting 25. But I’ll admit I haven’t watched all your games.

Well Morsell was outside the arena in quarantine while Martin was getting his 25, so not much he could do there

Providence's defense has been exactly the same with Minaya on and off the court during conference play. 94.7 adj D to the decimal. UConn's has been 11 points worse without Whaley.

If you $uck at defense, you're not guarding the opponent's best players

Interesting stat none the less. Better than just blocks I suppose
