Message: [QUOTE="Fightin Choke, post: 3261776, member: 2605"] Collier has other options on her team, while Arike's options are limited. Collier has 2 other teammates who were voted into the All-Star game this season (Fowles and Sims). Arike has no All Stars on her team. As a team Dallas has shot 38.9% this season. Arike has shot 38.6% this season, and she's a guard so, her shooting percentage will be lower than front court players. She oftentimes takes shots at the end of quarters and late in the shot clock, when her chance of success is lower. As a team, Dallas shoots 32.8 from 3, whereas Arike shoots 35.0% Agler is happy with the way she is playing and has affirmed that on many occasions. Collier has played more minutes (1057 to 986) and more minutes per game (33.0 to 31.8) than Arike. Arike is not averaging 30 shots per game. She has taken 511 FG attempts in 31 games, which is 16.5 FG attempts/game. She has taken 157 FT attempts in 31 games, which is 5.1 FT attempts per game. The sum of those two is 21.6 total shot attempts per game. And Dallas has been playing better as of late and there have been few 30-point blowouts like tonight. Since the beginning of August, Dallas is 5-7, and here are the margin of victory in each game: [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]+23[/B][/COLOR][B], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-5[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-12[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]+3[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]+6[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]+6[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-10[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-16[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-4[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]+5[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-6[/COLOR], [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]-30[/COLOR][/B] (tonight's game). Dallas has clearly been competitive, tonight's game notwithstanding. However, Arike was not the reason the team got blown out. She scored 44% of the team's points and dished out 40% of the team's assists. This year's ROY race has been awesome! Fans can revel in the accomplishments of Collier and Ogunbowale without attacking either player. And if Pokey Chatman hadn't sat McCowan on the bench so long, it's certainly possible that neither Napheesa nor Arike would win ROY. A poor man's Sylvia Fowles? What are you talking about [USER=2117]@bballnut90[/USER], she has had a much better rookie campaign than Sylvia! :cool: [/QUOTE]
