Message: [QUOTE="JRRRJ, post: 4210814, member: 1303"] ...in [URL='http://www.jackromanowicz.com/downloads']the usual place[/URL]. Travel, and a laptop with the wrong software has kept me from updating during the past game-packed 10 days. But here we are. And the rotation has been stable-ish long enough that we can now start looking at player effectiveness. Note that Paige, Mir, Piath, and Amari are not eligible for this consideration for various arbitrary reasons. Expectedly (for me, anyhow) Caroline (19.96) and Azzi(18.75) lead the points production list. Christyn follows at 13.78. Azzi(8.41) and Caroline(7.88) lead for made 3FG, with Evina(4.83) and Nika(4.70) next. Dorka(4.19) and Olivia(3.90) have the most FT attempts. Evina(3.99) and Christyn(2.83) are next. Dorka(3.78), Olivia(2.89), and Aaliyah(2.85) lead for ORB. Olivia(8.20), and Dorka(6.98) have the highest DRB rate and Aaliyah is at 4.51. So, Olivia(11.09) and Dorka(10.76) unsurprisingly lead for TRB and Aaliyah is third with 7.36. Olivia tops the foul list at 4.10, with Aaliyah(3.82), and the pest Nika(3.37) following. Top assist rates go to Olivia(5.51), Nika(5.01) and Evina(4.61) Turnovers are a tight category with Caroline(3.34), Aaliyah(3.33), and Olivia(3.29) in a virtual tie. The pest produces steals at the highest rate: 2.43. Evina(2.06) and Olivia(1.95) follow. Finally, Olivia's 2.55 rate leads for blocks, Azzi is second at 1.14 and Caroline at 1.03. I have been enormously heartened by and proud of the progress the team has made in the past 6 games. No more (well, almost) lazy passes. Motion in the offense. Knowing what they want to do with the ball when they get it. Not (usually) putting up shots when surrounded by 3 or more defenders. Finishing layups. Beautiful switches on picks, especially by the posts. No significant falloff in production or coordination when substitutions are made. Ferocious defense, especially in the zone sets. It must be terrifying to opposing coaches to realize we have 3 mobile, effective posts -- one of which their post will need to follow out to the 3-point arc. We have 3 players you just don't want to foul, with FT percentages north of 80% for the season. Even the team is shooting a respectable 73.3% for the last 6 games. It's gonna be lots more fun to watch from here on, and we can have a reasonable expectation of victory against any opponent, IMO. Excelsior! Note: If they had enough minutes to be included, Piath and Amari would show up in a number of the leader lists. Particularly Piath. And, yes, I know they don't usually play against main rotation players. But that's not been the case the last 2 games. Go, ladies! [/QUOTE]
