Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 3472277, member: 10323"] Depends on what he means by vastly better. Let’s dive into the numbers. I’ve posted these before but they’re a good reference point for Cole. He played 11 games against P5/G5 competition (I included A-10 teams and Ivy League). His output is as followed in those games 20.3 PPG 6.3 assists/game 3 TOs/game 32% on 3s 35% on 2s Nearly 8 free throws/game at 81% Shooting percentages aren’t great but his usage rates in these games are really high. Probably due to lack of talent on his team and teams keying in on him all game. It’s hard to draw exact conclusions from these but I found the numbers interesting. It’s clear Cole can score the rock when needed, his free throw attempts are really high as well which is a good sign. I took a look at AG over the past 11 games (since his role has changed) and his numbers are as followed: 24 minutes per game 7.7 points 2.3 assists 1.7 turnovers Shooting about 38% overall and from 3. what really jumps out is how AG is shooting so much better of late from 3, hes one of the best on the team now. It was fair to be critical of AG early in the season, I certainly was. His production/usage was hurting the team, but His new role has really changed the dynamic of the team and he’s settled into it nicely. If he came back and played a similar role again next season, he’s showing he can be a valuable player in that type of role. [/QUOTE]
