Stats and stuff (Davidson game)...

[coryfly]

Nate was brutal the other night in almost every aspect. Need him to play better, but I've come to accept he's inconsistent and since he's a senior he is what he is. Theo will be needed desperately before this seasons over.

Well, he wasn't brutal on defense in the first half. He probably wasn't nearly as bad in the second half as some think either. He certainly struggled on offense big time, which tends to influence what people think about his game overall.

I agree, Cory. Offensive stats generally get more attention than defensive stats.

We have played 10 games and Nate has won Best Defensive player 4 times.

We have played 10 games and Nate has won Best Defensive player 4 times.

Impressive.

I seem to recall Roy singling out Kenny for his defense, too.

One reason he's playing so much, despite limited offensive skills.

One of these days his shots will drop.

And with Kenny in there at the same time, we have 2 good defenders and 2 guys who might (or might not) get hot from outside.

Nate has improved defensively since he got here. That being said, let's not get carried away guys.

Well, he has improved by leaps and bounds since he got here. No doubt about that. And he has been named the DPOG 4 times this year. But JOel and Kenny are both better defenders, IMO.

What everyone is missing too is he had 6 dimes in the Davidson game.

JB ain't playing today, so let's hope Nate gets some redemption and has a strong game. I also want to see some more Stilman at the 1, and Kenny not being shy on his open looks.
We shall see...
