We should’ve won but overall it’s not terrible.

There is, it’s called 3 point percentage and Polley ranks 6th, not top 4 per your argument. I also disagree on make/attempt and quality of shooter. If he is so good then why can’t he shoot a lot more?

 

[Chasm64]

The we can’t run an offense is BS , there are 2 teams on the floor and one is always playing defense. This game was lost because of horrible 3 point shooting, the lousy passes not withstanding, it’s as simple as that.

 

[huskyfan224]

I’ll agree to disagree

Looking back at that list again, they left off a few others. Boat is 37.9% and Chris Smith is 40% for career avg. They need to update that

To say Polley isn't a good shooter is hilarious.

This is prime example of this board being laughably negative after a loss. Now Polley isnt a good shooter. Ignore the fact he damn near carried us to our best win of the season to date. Or that he's consistently a 40% three point shooter throughout his career. Forget all that and call the kid a bad shooter because he had a bad night. ZERO objectivity

against Auburn, MSU, VCU, and WVU good competition, not bottom 300 kenpom, he is 6-20 and those 6 were against Auburn.

2-7 UMES
2-8 LIU
0-6 COPP

Gaffney's minutes need to be cut in half and those minutes need to be divided and given to Hawkins and Diggins.

He is an offensive black hole. He is not good at running the offense. It's his third year of this.

People like you who choose to seem to have problems with a player are weird. Criticize the coach, he's the one getting paid millions and still can't manage to close out a game. It's not like the players aren't giving their all out there. If they have faults they have faults--it is what it is.

I like Polley and glad he’s here like I’ve said, but I don’t lump him in with our best career shooters to have come through here. Idc what his stats are, that is all I’m saying.

Ah, now I get it! See, all this time we were thinking being a good shooter had something to do with how many of the player's shots actually go in the basket. That's where the disconnect was. Silly us. Our bad!

Losses really bring out the crazies on this board.

You guys are silly, nice trolling jobs!

What's the median vs mean on Polley? I think that's the issue here folks. His average is good but he has huge swings.

Mean is 37.2%, Median is 31% (Games 56 and 57 are 33% and 28.6%)

I did some more digging on the Top 5-10 three point percentage argument since that Sports Reference leaders isn’t accurate. I’m sure I’m missing some more, but I drummed these guys up and somehow they were overlooked on that along with Bazz, Boat, and Smith

Niels Giffey - 42.1%
Phil Gamble - 40.6%
Doron Sheffer - 39.7%
Rudy Gay - 37.8% (only two seasons and smaller sample)
Marcus Williams - 37.5%
AJ Price - 36.5% (hit 158 3s in 3 seasons, Polley has 151 made on season 5, AJ is a better shooter imo)

Safe to say Polley isn’t top 10, sorry bub!
