We won this game because of his unselfish play. No need for MVP Vital. That’s not the point.
This isn’t Vital University, this is UConn. I was very proud of his selfless performance and hope he continues to play this way.
In short:
Leader Vital > MVP Vital
Don’t worry my man, you’ll come around eventually. He’s the best scorer, best rebounder, and best defender on the team. He’s cleaned up his turnover problems so far this year it seems too. I was vitals biggest hater his freshman and sophomore years.
In comparing players used in over 20% of possessions, he leads the team in offensive rating, assist rate, turnover rate (fewest), true shooting percentage, getting to the line (FT rate), and FT percentage. He also leads the team in steal rate.
Granted it’s still early.
