Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 2538752, member: 173"] Enoch may well turn out to be a good player but so will/did Drummond but at UConn for his one year Drummond did not know how to play basketball. Individual skills development are on the players. You telling me Calhoun was the big factor between Kemba as a sophomore and a junior? Facey got plenty of playing time, he's the one who wouldn't/couldn't shoot. Basketball is not that hard, the way Enoch played when he was in showed disinterest at best. How many good players get a chance to play and don't earn more playing time? Why was Hilton not the senior Hilton when he was a freshman or sophomore? I looked at Enoch and Brimah stats last year and Carlton this year. Brimah played 24 minutes a game and Enoch 12 MAG and Carlton 13 MAG. Shooting %,rebounds per game, scoring average and turnovers in total: Enoch - 41%, 2.3, 3.4, 32 Brimah - 57%, 6.1, 7.6, 50 So Enoch got half the playing time vs. Brimah (arguably against other teams lesser players) and shot 16% points worse, less rebounds per minute vs. a guy who couldn't rebound and more turnovers per minute than a guy who was a turnover machine? And that's the guy you wanted to play more? 12 MAG is enough to show if you've got it and Enoch didn't. Carlton - 52%, 3.6, 4.3, 20 So Carlton is shooting better, rebounding better, scoring better and has less turnovers than Enoch in about the same playing time per game. Recruiting better talent is on Ollie, Enoch playing as he played in 12 minutes per game was on him. Since I was wasting my time anyway on this, thought would look up Hilton. His MAG per his career were 11, 9, 12, 28; so for 3 years he got Enoch type minutes. Compared Hilton senior year to Brimah for categories listed above: Hilton - 61%, 6.6, 9.7, 77 So in Hilton's break out year in a few more minutes a game and with better players (Rudy, Marcus, etc.) he shot little better, scored a basket a game more, rebounded about the same (vs, guy who couldn't rebound) and had more turnovers (vs. guy who was a turnover machine). To show how poorly I remember things (so I checked it twice) Hilton actually had more blocks than Brimah 107 to 87. I expect Ollie to try and win every game, that's what coaches do (even when they are bad at it). Playing Enoch more was not what a good coach should do given above stats. Could Enoch become a senior like Hilton, sure, but it won't be because Loserville did it for him it will be on Enoch. [/QUOTE]
