rand909 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I've wondered if we could document who should be on the floor. I have compared the +/- stats for each B1G game (except Iowa - I can't find the stats for that game). Now, we know that you can't look at +/- stats for only one game. They would depend on who was on the floor with a player, who the other team had on the floor, who was hot or cold, who was in foul trouble, etc. However, after 4 games they are beginning to show some consistency. You be the judge: 2019 Stats Michigan Ohio State Iowa Maryland Rutgers Total Simon -3 -7 -3 -5 -18 Cain 14 -12 -3 -11 -12 Whitish 5 8 -17 -9 -13 Eliely 22 10 -14 -8 10 Kissinger 2 -8 0 -4 -10 Mitchell -16 -4 -20 Mershon 14 18 -18 1 15 Haiby 11 6 -16 -2 -1 Brown 2 11 -5 5 13 Veerbeek 3 19 2 7 31 KarlHessEatMy.... and HUD 1 1 Quote
huskerchode Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I will be upfront and say I haven't seen very many games. But I have noticed in a couple that Eliely gets going in the 4th quarter. Is there any correlation to how many of our newcomers are on the floor when she catches fire? Just curious. I notice in the above stats that the only player without a negative is Veerbeek. And I've wondered for a while if Eliely, Haiby, Brown, and Veerbeek should start. Quote

How come nobody gives Mershon any love. She is the most fundamentally sound of the freshman, actually knows how to box out and very seldom makes mistakes. I know she does not score much and as such isn't noticed. Think Hallie Sample. Red Don 1 Quote
rand909 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Posted January 17, 2019 Thought I would chart minutes on the court vs. the players' +/-. Thoughts? Quote

I knew it would be interesting but it really does show who is doing well with their minutes in conference play which are the only stats that I follow. Quote

I have always liked her especially after seeing one of her high school games which showed me she has great fundamentals and hustle with an unselfish attitude. My wife and I talked to her after her game and she came across as a first class Young Lady as well. Just watch some of her past games to see the many contributions she makes that don't hit the stat sheet. mwm89 and Red Don 2 Quote

It took a few games for her to get the feet on the ground, but boom...she's began developing quickly, and..undoubtedly...she will continue to improve in all areas. And saying it again ...really is pretty athletic for her 6-3 size. Think she'll be a much better offensive player than Sample. mwm89, Red Don and whoopdeedoo 1 2 Quote

Didn’t mean to leave her out. I haven’t seen her play but based off the stats and what others on this board are saying, she deserves a shot at starting. Red Don 1 Quote

First off, thanks for doing this Rand. Second by this chart who would be the fifth starter? Haiby has the least minus of all the other minus players. Quote
HUD Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 The thing we don't get to see is the practices. Maybe the veterans do well there but get up tight in actual games. The thing I think is happening is that the teams we play know our weaknesses a lot better this year and exploit many of them. mwm89 1 Quote
