Monte Morris and Walter Pitchford

Say this much for the part of the basketball nation surrounded by cornfields: They don't commit many turnovers.

Monte Morris (Iowa State) led the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio last season, averaging 4.79 assists for every giveaway as a freshman. His usage rate was nothing compared to that of Melvin Ejim, DeAndre Kane or Georges Niang, but he made the most of his opportunities. Morris committed 0.78 turnovers per game while serving as the team's secondary point guard.

But compared to Walter Pitchford (Nebraska), Morris looks like a turnover-prone mess.

Pitchford averaged just 0.47 turnovers per game for the Cornhuskers, serving as the nation's top big man in turnover rate.

They might not be the most efficient scorers in the country—Pitchford averaged 1.31 points per field-goal attempt, Morris tallied 1.36 points per shot—but having them on a team together means fewer turnovers and more shot attempts.

Instead of the 2013-14 D-I average of a turnover on 18.3 percent of possessions, a team with Morris and Pitchford would probably be down around 10 percent. Even in a slow, 61-possession game, that team would get an additional five field-goal attempts per game. And assuming 1.3 points per field-goal attempt, that's an extra 6.5 points per game.

I just cant get over walts face in that picture 

[jimmykc]

I anticipate and expect a big year from this guy. So now I will officially designate this "The Year of the Walter". Each of my avatars will be a Walt to mark the event.

[MandRHusker]

If Walt has a big year, barring any injuries to Petteway or Shields, we'll be a top 10 team at some point in the year. How's that for a prediction?

So far it's been:

 

Walter White

Walt Whitman

 

correct?

[jimmykc]

Correct. And I have a lot of Walters warming up in the bullpen too.

[jimmykc]

Told you. But I promise to leave Grandpappy Amos up for awhile. It just didn't seem right to leave Whitman up when he was the cause of Walter White's downfall.

[gobigredbrah]

Is there any other 6'10 center shooting 41% from 3 point range?

[cipsucks]

Correct. And I have a lot of Walters warming up in the bullpen too.

I bet you don't have this one.

Kaminsky was 37.8% so close.

[jimmykc]

Cip; You are right, he is a bit too "pretty boy" to have made the cut. Neither did Walt (No Neck) Williams because having a neck was necessary and Walt Dropo even though he played for the Red Sox since I associated him more with your Tigers. You'll just have to stick with me for the year to find out who is on the list.

I was told Pitchford has lived in the Hendricks all summer and looks REALLY good.

I hope he worked on his inside game quite a bit...if that develops Pitch could be crazy good with his athleticism and his ability to shoot the ball.

From what I was told, yes he has spent a good amount of time working on his inside game.
