The +/- Thread

[B-town hoopsfan]

It’s really remarkable from game 1 to 14 how much essegian has bought into the defensive concepts and just the effort needed to stay on the floor. Goes 0 for 6 from 3 on 6 pretty good looks but yet his biggest impact on the game may have been how he effects spacing just by being on the floor.

This is so important and most people wouldn’t realize it. His ability to spread the floor and keep a defender attached to him is crucial for Brice and Rollie. Keisei was able to do the same, but Connor has already shown he can improve as a defender! He continues to be a better get that I thought he would be.

It's called gravity (aka the Steph Curry effect).

Jacob Bigelow made a comment on the X as to why Fred kept Connor in the game if wasn't making shots. I replied for the same reason Fred didn't take Keisei out last year.

The Ulis minutes are starting to look worse and worse as the season goes on. He needs to be better than 0 if he’s playing back up pg mins.

Would of really of like to see GG get some minutes in this Iowa game.. Give him a shot the guy can shoot and it was a decent matchup for him.

Interesting disparity from this one. Wasn't a good night for smaller guards against that team.

It’s interesting in that our biggest offense production was from guys who were basically in the negative. I think this is another stat that just points to us needing to lock down on D. We aren’t going to “score” with the best of them.

Williams and Gary are almost always going to have a +/- that somewhat reflects the final score because they're on the court nearly the entire game if not in foul trouble. 

 

However, yes they both have regressed on defense from last year in my opinion.

Wow, Im shocked at those numbers from Rutgers game..  About the opposite of what I thought watching game besides Worster which was brought up during broadcast.
