UConn record when Carlton plays 20 minutes or more in a game: 11-5
UConn record when Carlton plays less than 20 minutes in a game: 3-7

This is completely skewed by the out of conference schedule when we were playing terrible teams and Whaley wasn’t playing.

In league play:

Carlton plays 20+ minutes: 3-2
Carlton plays under 20 minutes: 2-6

 

[UConnStats]

In league play:

Carlton plays 20+ minutes: 3-2
Carlton plays under 20 minutes: 2-6

In league play: 87.9 ORtg

In the 3 wins he played 20+ min, he averaged 7 points. Are you attributing those wins to him? I don't understand the point of this post. There's a reason he's not playing 20+ minutes anymore.

We bench Carlton when we are struggling in games. He is the nominal starter, so in games where we were not encountering difficulties, we went with our normal non-conf rotation.

He is obviously also much more likely to get foul trouble against tough opponents.

This is causation with no correlation.

He is obviously also much more likely to get foul trouble except tough opponents.

This is causation with no correlation.

Carlton picks up at least a foul a game because a guard whiffs on defense and Carlton has to help. This gets him "behind the sticks" with his fouls, and it is hard to catch up.

The 4 guard lineup is silly. Gaffney and Adams are fine as subs, but they are playing twice the minutes that Carlton is playing, and that is ridiculous.

You undertand the point of the post. Nodody has an agenda quite like Nelson on this board. Carlton=good Hurley=bad.

Basically if Carlton decides he's going to play good that day we win. If Carlton no shows we lose.

Carlton is averaging 5.6 ppg in league play. We do better in the games he gets 10 points instead of 0. I know, crazy...

You're arguing with someone who already made up his mind. Facts won't change his opinion. He's clueless.

 

[Hi-Low]

Not matter how you slice it Carlton is under productive. He's 6' 11'' but he doesn't want to dunk, he'd rather try layups. He is easily the worst free throw shooter on the team so he can't be on the floor at the end of close games. He hasn't done nearly enough with minutes he's gotten this year.

He has a good game and then disappears the next 2. I don't think we can rely on him to be our starting center next year.

Carlton - of all the players we regularly use - might be our actual, worst player. I'm not even sure it's close. His ORtg is in the toilet.

Gaffney has been a much better offensive player than Carlton, he should be playing three times his minutes.

Wonder how the 'chat' w DH might go in a few months.

 

[Martin]

That’s why they are fun facts!

Lol @nelsonmuntz you’re a glutton for punishment. The beating you took on the UConnSlack wasn’t enough you had to see if there would be anyone simpatico here too. Lol.

Something like "Josh we need you but here is what you need to do to see the floor." I'm one of the few who hasn't given up on Carlton. I've lower expectations but I still think he could be a valuable contributor.

Last night for sure. Adams playing 20 more than Carlton was whacked.

People's issue with Carlton comes down to they don't like the way he looks when he plays. Carlton's game is not aesthically pleasing enough for some of the posters here.

I like how wins look. But that's just me.

So you’d take Max Fried over Jacob Degrom too

I love that Nelson is hitting on hard 18. Again and again.

Hard to believe but Josh is in the top 10 in the conference in Rebounds, Blocks, and fg%

When you see no point to a post, try not responding. Or do you just it because it's nelson???

Just when I was gonna exit hereafter questioning the whole "fun" premise in this thread's title, you offer an alternative fact that's got some fun in it.
