Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3543757, member: 3535"] So are we calling Kelly Faris an "abysmal shooter" in her senior year because she was lousy as a freshman. The "one year" you cite was her last year. Are you trying to say players that show an improvement as a shooter from their freshman to their juniors years shooting have no shot to improve in the senior year? So are you saying to ignore that the stats show the player is improving year over year, ignore the trends, ignore that players probably improve each year, instead use their years when they were underclassmen - as a key barometer? IMO you just don't want her so you're ignoring the trends that happen to many upperclassmen - they improve just as their trends and her trends are showing. So despite her showing a[B] big[/B] improvement for 3pt shooting .238 as a frosh, then .280 as a soph, then .330 as a junior -- are you saying that you can't see the improvement? Or you think the stats showing improvement should be ignored? So ignore all players trends? Or is it just this one player? Her trend is showing a steady climb, why should l I believe that it won't continue especially since she might have more opportunities to be wide open with UCONN? Why shouldn't I follow trends? So I'm following trends here. So how is following trends "cherry-picking?" [/QUOTE]
