IMO I was expecting more from him than scoring against way lesser competition so either way, you take out his high/low game in this stretch he averages under double figures 9.7. Again being featured against less quality that’s listed the points are obvious it wasn’t mind blowing
He currently has a much better record against much more difficult schedules than BCG.
*screams in weightlifter*
Handicapped by historic injury issues against the two most difficult schedules in school history and the "fans" that "back" your team do nothing but trash you and the team. It can't be a great feeling.
Excuses for Pope will never end.
Not excuses just pertinent facts.
I'd say you've not been around enough coaches and players then. Part of my job, a big part of my job, is being critical of my players. Then them taking that critique and using the things we do (and on their own) to improve. In my profession, we call that coaching. Tbf, on here, I'm not a coach. I'm just any fan. On no planet is Mark Pope my peer.
AAAAAAAAND...40% of those points came against LMD and Bellarmine. But yeah, Kam was cooking.
He doesn't do the other things all that well either. That's the issue. He isn't AWFUL. But when you're a 3 and D guy and both the 3 AND the D (more to D than just defending the ball) are less than good, it's an issue. There's promise, yes. But man, promise is a helluva long way from 40ish games of results.
To use a fancy all-in-one stat from CBB Analytics called DRAPM (defined as a player’s impact on their team’s points allowed per 100 possessions below the division average), Williams posted a number of 4.2, which ranked him in the 99th percentile among all guards. He stays in front of his man and can create havoc through steals and blocks.
Ohhh I know that’s why I posted it take out his high low it’s 9.7 points against mainly JV competition
Didn't I just say he was a good on ball defender? (which, btw, is what that stat...however hokey, and it's hokey...is used for)
Dynes is terrible averages a whole 2 points and that’s off a dunk
No no no...I thought I said in an earlier post he was a good on ball defender. He is. But he's not that great of a rebounder. That's a big part of being a good defender. The stat you referenced is an NBA stat (designed for an NBA season with NBA defensive rules). If I didn't say that about him on the ball, that's my fault. He's very good on the ball. To be fair, overall he's probably better than "less than good" defensively. But he's not a good rebounder at all, and that hurts. If we had an Oscar, it probably wouldn't matter (see Toppin). But we have a Moreno, and he's not a very good rebounder either. Which is why the team, despite his seriously limitations, was way better when MO played. It doesn't matter how good your first shot defense is, it's darned near impossible to get a stop w/o pulling the board.
I'm not defending BCG dude haha
Pretty sure in the game threads this year the most popular comment was “Just dunk the ball, you’re 7 feet“
If you get a better Sophomore version from YSU then yeah but not the USC version that’s not even usable
He looks good in pick and rolls, not sure his coach knew how to use him. Mussleman has been god awful the last few years.
Pope might be bad but Musselman has been at a totally different crap level.
As a fellow “just let it play out” poster, I am just here for info, updates and to watch the crash out over random tweets, predictions and tidbits show.
And judging by this account being 6 hours old, you crash out so hard you get banned all the time.
Not just banned. He creates new accounts even when not banned after enough people ignore him and he’s not getting the reactions he wants.
Guy is mentally ill.
You are right that Kam is not a good rebounder, and that it is an important facet for a 3-4-5 guy.
If I’m the AD, I’m calling Donovan yesterday and working a deal, and moving on from Pope!
Unfortunately the only way we’re getting out of this coaching tenure is if CMP resigns. And it looks like you’ll have to take it away from him, he seems to have no intention of resigning, the program’s wellbeing be damned.If I’m the AD, I’m calling Donovan yesterday and working a deal, and moving on from Pope!
If we are going to waste another year just to waste another year, you hire Donovan and he gets a mulligan for the lack of timing to recruit, and the fact that Pope would be leaving him next to no one generally speaking.
Or, wait until next season and potentially have to fight off Kansas and maybe Florida, and totally miss the boat on the guy for an unprecedented 3rd coaching search!
There’s No Brainers, and then there’s this
Almanor Avg 3.4 FG Attempts per game and made 1.7 per game that's 50% and he shot 42% from behind the 3pt line also 90% from the FT and you think that's a bust from a bench player who played 14 mins per game
Everything makes sense now.
Compared to what many expected, yes, he was, he was a marginal player from an impact standpoint.Almanor Avg 3.4 FG Attempts per game and made 1.7 per game that's 50% and he shot 42% from behind the 3pt line also 90% from the FT and you think that's a bust from a bench player who played 14 mins per game
