I charted all the major guys UConn was / is looking at as well as the commits from Peach Jam
Solo Ball (8 games):
41% FG, 30% 3FG, 71% FT, 12 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 2:1.1 A/T, 25 MPG
Jaylin Stewart (7 games):
49% FG, 35% 3FG, 70% FT, 17 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.9:1.9 A/T, 1.6 BPG, 1.1 SPG, 26 MPG
Coen Carr (7 games):
47% FG, 21% 3FG, 27% FT, 12.6 PPG, 7 RPG, 1:2 A/T, 2.4 BPG, 1.3 SPG, 27 MPG
Scotty Middleton (7 games):
40% FG, 29% 3FG, 65% FT, 12.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 2.1:1.6 A/T, 24 MPG
Jayden Ross (8 games):
41% FG, 24% 3FG, 46% FT, 8 PPG, 4 RPG, 1.5:1 A/T, 1.25 SPG, 23 MPG
Couple observations: there is a lot of volatility for each of these players game to game even in decent sample sizes like this. Middleton was in line to have a Stewart type week but then went 2-17, 0-7 from 3 in the last game. No idea what happened there. May have been playing a little over his skis so numbers here might better reflect what he is capable of. Didn't watch the game so don't know. Likewise, Stewart went off for 33 one game bringing his scoring up relative to everyone else. He did have 1 other game with 25 points and shot decent but not jaw dropping percentages.The Carr FT percentage looks terrible but again is the product of one game (yesterday 1-8). Otherwise would have been bad but not horrific. Jayden's 3PG% and FT% are concerning but he rarely went to the line so it's a small sample (13 FTs) and would have hoped he would have shot above 30% from distance (took 29 3s).
By and large the first four guys had pretty similar weeks hovering around 12 PPG and good but not great percentages with the exception of Stewart who really showcased his scoring ability but also his ability to impact other parts of the game (see A/T, BPG, and SPG).
Going off of these stats, Stewart had the best week by far followed by Solo & Middleton (tie), Carr, then Jayden, but at least in Jayden's case he finished on a very strong note yesterday going 6-9 from the field for 14 points and a couple steals so you see his upside.
This is great, thanks for putting it together. Seems like scoring isn't an issue for most, but the 3P% and FT%'s are a little concerning. Especially with our team's history of not being able to hit a 3 and our new 4-out offense.
I watched a few games from Team Melo and I feel like Ball could be a solid shooter with some mechanical tweaks. I've seen Ross be projected as a sniper on here but from the couple games I saw, he looks a little uncomfortable shooting.
Hopefully they can develop their shooting a bit next year.
