Different calculation, similar result. No matter how you calculate it the results will be similar:
.9 is 75% of 1.2.
I think it will go Denny anyway.
Warren is in the mix. He’s having a great season
Watch the Franklin vs Waynesville game. Look at his sets
Look through Denny's individual game stats, if you aren't excited about watching this freshman play/develop, there is no stat discussion that will change your mind.
I’m sorry man. I watched him play. Nice finishes around the rim. Good ball handler. Takes a ton of shots. A lot of them are not good. He should be averaging more for the volume he shoots.
I am not sure what the metric shows nor it's relevance but I was curious after following the debate. Just out of curiosity, I did the math for some of the Centerville players (since you listed Powell as the top one in the area). Powell doesn't even have the best number for Centerville. Njie would be at 1.24. And two other kids are well over 1.0 just on that one team.
This stat is by no means the tell all for a players ability. All it is saying is each time they shoot the expected points. I only brought it up because of the original post with numbers didn’t seem right. It also exposes the volume of shots that don’t go in (which is my point)
I was agreeing with you. Its not even that the stat is meaningless or not, it's that there a ton of kids in the area in that range. I would say it's more telling if a kid isnt in that range than anything else.
I don't think he compares to Kennard at all, which isn't a knock because nobody does. I am really excited as an area basketball fan to watch his career. More in-line with Shrout/Powell/Enis. Try to get out and watch him with All-Ohio Red where he is surrounded by guys that must be guarded, it is impressive.
Everyone up in arms about stats and percentages from the top players. Much to consider. They are expected to take the most shots. They are often the ones who are heavily guarded and have the most contested shots. Even with lower percentages, their coaches are going to make sure they get the ball, run plays through them and get many shots up to give the team the best chance to win. Everyone knows the top players and if you look at current stats they are taking anywhere from 60-100 shots more than any other player on their team and yes, with lower percentages due to other team structuring defense so they don’t get the ball. These are your high volume shooters and exoercted to shoot it We need to lay off Denny. He’s young and he’s the one they want to shoot.
Best kids in Dayton are also player against way better competition. Those GWOC teams would run every SWBL team out of the gym after the 1st half 99/100 times. Still solid though especially for a freshman.
Powell is the top player in Dayton and probably Ohio. That efficiency on that high of volume against that high of competition with that high of defensive focus is ridiculous. Just saying
The statistic demonstrates the efficiency of the player.
Note taken.I was referring mainly to Denny with the talk about his lower percentage He is expected to shoot. I agree, some of his shots are sloppy but he is a volume shooter and designed for him to shoot therefore, he shoots That’s the expectation and his part of the team He is heavily guarded and the focus of many teams He’s a freshman and learning. I wasn’t a fan when I saw him play but I am becoming one and mainly due to this forum. It’s great to see not only your home team and players succeed but all the local teams and players
I don't know what to think about this, Denny and Fritz are Freshman. Im sure they knew it would be an up and down season for the Spartans. I do know they have a very good 7th and 8th grade class coming up for basketball. Don't know all the parameters but last year some of the same rumors were floating around.
Very good points.
There aren't any seniors sitting the bench. The 2 Seniors start, what's killing this team is that there are only 2 Sr's, 1 Jr (who is hurt), 3 SO (1 is hurt) and 2 FR playing any minutes. Denny is doing what he can with what he has. He at least deserves another year to see what he can do with this young group.
Clearly you are correct looking at their roster and adds to me not having any real idea.
Totally agree with you. Hopefully they give him some time. There should be at least 2-3 SO who are playing JV that can help next year that would give them 1 Sr, 4-5 Jrs and 2 SO at the varsity level. I think that could allow them to be more competitive on a regular basis.
