Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4180413, member: 1329"] In the last 4 conference games that he's missed, Depaul has scored 0.79, 0.74, 0.72, and 1.0 ppp. As you mentioned he barely played in the 2nd half of that Seton Hall game, but they were up 17 at halftime and only won by 4. They scored 1.40 ppp in the first half and 0.94 ppp in the 2nd half before garbage FTs. I still disagree with your premise. I think he looks like that kind of guy, but is actually quite efficient thanks to good volume shooting and extremely low turnover rate. He may jack the ball up sometimes, but at least it's not his teammates turning it over or missing a layup. And he makes enough of the shots to make it actually a good idea. He had a 4 game stretch in conference games where he went 15/27 from 3, also wasn't bad from 2, went to the line and made 20 free throws, and had only 10 combined turnovers in the 4 games. That's star stuff. Included in that was the Nova game where he had 34 points on 17 shots. The rest of his team shot 8 for 34 and they lost by 15. But as you noted, if he doesn't have it that night, he can definitely shoot them out of (or almost out of in the case of Louisville). a winnable game. Last year that was more often the case, but this year the ball is just going in more often. [/QUOTE]
