Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2957642"] Chief was reminded that after midnight, tomorrow’s grind starts - thanks for that text. I loved the way Hurley broke down his success metrics for guards. Very enlightening, even for Chief. First, his most important guard metric is a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. The good assist to turnovers guards: Gilbert: 2.19 Smith: 2.08 B Adams: 2.0 Chief Observation: Two of these dudes Hurley brought in and one was injuried. None were part of the losing habits the last few years. Imagine Gilbert's number if he cleans up the over penetration. The ugly assist to turnover guards: CV: 0.70 J Adams: 1.12 Chief Observation: These two dudes have played lots of minutes the last few seasons. The losing habits are captured in this one metric. These are the two dudes he’s really talking about. Careless with the ball, similar to NFL running backs who fumble too often. Relative to volume, not setting up teammates enough. Hurley did say the volume of turnovers jumped off the page more than the lack of assists. In between: Polley: 1.50 Chief Observation: While not at the 2.0 gold standard, Hurley believes he can be coached up. If this type of analysis is helpful, please let Chief know and I will do it for some of Hurley's other key success metrics for guards. [/QUOTE]
