BS. Refs don’t call 2 shoves from Wake on rebounds and then they call Washington for one. They are all fouls, call em.
I believe Washington has a higher ceiling than Freeman, definitely more athletic, but I’m not talking about zero playing time but reducing his minutes and giving that time to Freeman.
ACC Only Stats:
Washington is better at defensive rebounding and shot blocking but that’s it. This isn’t about crushing a players confidence, just adjusting minutes allocated to help the team win.
One person that needs to have his minutes reduced and given to another is Washington. Washington is actually costing us games at this point due to his “offense”.
– Washington has an overall ORtg of 83 and conference ORtg of 77. Washington’s overall Offensive Win Share is -0.2 (the only player on the team with a negative win share) and his conference OWS is -0.3. You add in his Defensive Win Shares and his overall Win Share is 0.3 and his ACC Win Share is 0.0.
Who should get more of his minutes? Leonard Freeman.
– Freeman’s overall ORtg is 113 and conference ORtg is 120. His overall OWS is 0.6 and ACC OWS is 0.3. His overall Win Share is 1.3 and his ACC Win Share is 0.5.
Basically, Freeman has proven he deserves more time and it needs to come at the expense of Washington at this moment.
Another thing, Barber has really struggled offensively in conference play, to the point he’s has a negative impact on the offensive end. If you’ve ever seen his stats from a game you’ll see that it’s mainly due to taking way too many shots…and missing them. He needs to focus more on getting others the ball and less about taking quick shots that lead to fast break opportunities for the opposition.
Only problem Alpha is we have @Syracuse between WFU/Clemson. I’m going to go out on a limb and call that one a loss now.
State made 7 fg’s in the second half. The last one came at 6:32 remaining. That’s right, we didn’t make a basket during the final 6.5 minutes of the game. Every made basket was in the paint. Warren went 8-8 on FT’s during the final 6:30. Turner went 1-2. Washington went 0-2.
Also, we continuously give up +45% ORebounding to the opposition. Once or twice and you can say it’s the bounce of the ball. All freaking season and it’s a trend.
Want to know why it was going right to Miami? Because 90% of the time every State big is trying to block the shot, even if it takes 3 to try to block, thus leaving Miami players all alone to grab a rebound.
BJD, just add “end of game situations” to Free Throw shooting and Defensive Rebounding on the list of things we must never practice.
Buckets 27pts
Turner 17pts
V 4
Lee 3
Lewis 3
Nard 2Miami 55.9% ORbd.
We had no business winning that game.
Something has to give here:
State is 6-0 when Buckets scores 25+ pts (currently with 25)
State is 0-5 when we score less than 65 (currently with 53)
