Message: [QUOTE="nychuskyfan, post: 3874231, member: 3456"] I have a question about Polley for the stats guys on this board. His 36.1 3P% this year is 23rd out of 50 Big East players that have taken at least 50 3P. His overall FG% is 70th out of 75 qualify BE players. Yet...his ORtg per Real GM is 9th out of 75 qualifying players. Is the fact that he's a slightly above average 3P shooter and 3P shots make up a huge proportion of his overall shots enough to offset the fact that his overall shooting percentages aren't that great, or is there more to it? Stats from RealGM. Thanks very much. Also, I'm not buying the magnet argument. He has some loud nights where he catches fire like vs. Marquette, but I think these hot streaks trick us into thinking he's a great shooter. Being generous and using his career 38.5% 3P%, that would put him 19th out of 50 players in the Big East that have attempted at least 2 threes per game - so a good 3P shooter but not amazing. Again being generous and using his career overall shooting percentage of 39.4%, he'd be 59th out of 75 qualifying players. His 3.8 Reb/40 puts him 67th out of 75 qualifying players in the BE, just below 5'10" RJ Cole. His 0.8 Ast/40 puts him 69th out of 75. 73rd out of 75 in Steals, etc. You get the drift. He seems like a good kid that's easy to root for, but the more of his minutes that AJ earns, the better. [/QUOTE]
