Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4547649, member: 1329"] Combination of a lot of things. Balanced 3-point open shooters as mentioned above I think is a factor. And frankly the conference is lacking in players with high-end self creation this season. It's why there are very few NBA prospects in the league. The conference was not recruiting all that well a few years ago and so we're in an individual talent upperclassmen dearth. A lot of the best players from teams other than us in the conference are transfers (Kolek, Hopkins, Boum, Scheierman, Nunge, Soriano, Carter, Croswell, Daniels, Bates, etc. etc.). But you don't tend to transfer if you're a high quality self-creator, unless you're up-transferring. And generally those guys were at that level they were for a reason, and though they might be really good players, it's tough to up-transfer and then dominate with a high usage rate. [/QUOTE]
