He wouldn't be 77th anymore. I looked it up an KenPom.com. I believe the cutoff is 40% of team's minutes and two attempts per game to qualify. His 38% ranks 392nd in the country. He shot 38.3% in the conference, good for 16th, and 32.9% against Tier A and B opponents. He's obviously a well above-average shooter, but as others have noted, those threes are mainly open spot-up threes as opposed to shots he created for himself. I like Tyler Polley. He improved a lot and had some excellent games last year. He's our second-best returning shooter, and I like having a shooter with his size. I'd hold off on calling him elite, though, and I don't see him starting over Vital. If he has really improved his defense and rebounding, he could be an awesome weapon whether he starts or comes off the bench. He might play a lot in a game where he's hot or not overmatched defensively, and Wilson could play more if we need defense, rebounding, and shot-blocking. FWIW, I think Gilbert, Vital, Akok, and Carlton will definitely start, and that the last spot will come down to Bouknight, Polley, or Wilson. I'm looking forward to having a team that has legitimate depth again.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Tyler Polley 2019.PNG"]46530[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
