Message: [QUOTE="Zarathustra, post: 5304163, member: 11285"] "Stunned" is the right word!!! Some further FIBA Stats to confirm the above (these stats are only for 5 games, so, the PPG, rebounds, and "Player Values" will change after 7 games). Note: total number of players is 20 teams X 4 = 80. Thus, the numerical listing (below) are for player ranking # 1 to #80. Full stats, and there are a lot of analytics, is on FIBA web page. Clink on WOMEN'S STATS and then Click "Individual". After 5 games: Sarah: Rank #1: 38 pt. (tied for #1) Player Value 62(#1), reb 39 (#1), TO/g 0.6 M. W.: Rank #21: 23 pt, Player Value 23.4, reb 11, TO/g 1.6 M.M.: Rank #44: 16 pt, Player Value 11.4, reb 11, TO/g 1.0 S.W.: Rank #45: 16 pt, Player Value 13.5, reb 20, TO/g 2.0 If I'm a masochist, I may look at these and other values after 7 games. The USA being knocked out in the Quarterfinals probably cost Sarah a chance of being the Tournament MVP and being on the ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM. The ALL TOURNAMENT team (generally) is two from the winning team and one from the runner up team, and one from team # 3 and #4. The USA team will be rank somewhere between #5 and # 8 due to making it to the Quarterfinals. Just for Semi completeness: 1pt FG % Sarah 76%, MW 50%, MM 47%, Serah Williams 57% 2-point shooting: Sarah 3/6 50%, MW 3/9 33%, MM 3/17 18%, Serah Williams 0/4 0 % Team Stats (after 5 games): TOTAL POINTS: USA 93 (#3), with Poland 98 (#1) and Australia 95 (#2). N.B. "Player value" = (S- *for points) + KAS + DRV + DNK + BS + (REB/2) - TO. Where: S- is shooting efficiency, KAS is Key Assists, DRV is Drives, DNK is Dunks, BZR is Buzzer beaters, REB is Rebounds, and TO is turnovers. Note that S- (Shooting Efficiency) is further broken down to: S- = PTS divided by (1 Point attempts + 2-point attempts + Free Throw attempts) TEAM USA had ONE "elite" player, one just below the top 1/4, and two players in the lower rankings, i.e. less than a rank of 40 out of 80 players.
