Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 4442077, member: 11108"] Another reality check is the shooting % of the guys in PG contention: Newton 37%, Diarra 33% and Jackson 27%. Compared that with Clingan 68%, Sanogo 66%, Joey California 65% and Karaban 50%. It is clear that the ability for the first group to get the second group the ball will be key. Assists per game: Newton 4.9, Jackson 3.9, Diarra 3.7. So yes, Newton is ahead at this point but he’s shooting 4% better than Diarra with 1.2 more assists per game. Personally, I think it will be him but arguments could be made for others if things change and they could. Newton is statistically ahead and by the eye test but many here are overstating things. Sure, if he plays liked he did against Oregon he will be an All American. But, last game his assists (8) and foul shooting 6-6) were good while going 1-6 from the floor. If he does more of those two good things he will probably be the guy. [/QUOTE]
