Remember him

It's a stat that measures how well the team defense performs when a player is on the court vs when he is on the bench. It can be skewed by player groupings and has pros and cons like most statistical categories.

This says the Pirate defense is 5.9 points better (per 100 posessions) when DAW is on the floor.. Right behind him is Garwey at 5.6. Then you have Coleman at 4.5, Scotty 3.5, Chaunce 3.4, Toumi 2.7 & Tubek 2.7.

When you add in Offensive Box Plus/Minus to the defense, here are our NET leaders.

Chaunce +7.9
Tubek +7.8
DAW +3.8
Coleman +3.7
Felton +2.2
Toumi +1.3
Garway +0.4

Scotty -1.4
Godswill -2.4
Okorafor -2.9
Gus Bus -4.8
Aligbe -7.6

Kind of matches the eye test. One thing it spells in all CAPs is our bigs are terrible and that the player who is struggling the most is Aligbe. This stat would indicate we should be exploring Tubek more and Aligbe less and that Felton deserves a longer opportunity.
Far too many unknown variables for it to be taken seriously. Did the other team have their starters on the floor at the same time? What was the score? Time left in half? Did the person in question guard a good player or was somebody else responsible?

It’s clearly a team stat but is somehow given to an individual. Makes no sense.

The Roster

What would have been an analysis last year after we lost to Rutgers at home and were 6-4? Way to early to make a judgement as to who is a BE player. Looking at last year’s roster this early, maybe three of our players would have been considered BE players. How did last year work out? Trying to be realistic and optimistic at the same time.
That was acknowledged by SPK's original post. We're going to need improvement and combinations.

We're already seeing Sha come out of the 10-player dream by sticking with Coleman and Jenkins. That shouldn't change barring foul trouble, they are clearly our best players. I think this team desperately needs the following to have the type of improvement we'll need to be relevant by February from everywhere else.

1. Obviously PG.
2. Can our 3 centers combine to hold down that position so we don't have to use someone else there.
3. Aligbe is not THIS bad offensively from 2PT range. He and Toumi are complementary players at the 4. Neither are great, but need to be BE average.

That is a lot of improvement. More than just Dawes finding his way and the defense settling in.

Trump Laying Down The Law On Border

If they have been sent a notice, wouldn’t it make sense that we don’t know where they are?

90% have not received a notice. Of the 10% who have but failed to show up, did they miss a court date or are they actually missing?

Again, not saying there is zero risk here… but we have no idea why they missed a court date and suggesting that the 300k, are missing as in could have been trafficked is very misleading

I’m a little suspicious about the sponsors and the degree of a background check and how accurate it is.

That’s fine, but what is your suspicion based on?

What about the kids that were smuggled across and never even went through the system?

Not sure what you’re asking.
Yes, if and when that happens it’s horrible. We should do what we can to limit the opportunity to smuggle anyone in.

There is an incentive with an open border to traffic children, women and drugs. If you reduce or eliminate the opportunity the cartels will have to curtail their efforts.

Curtail their efforts? Naive to think of a cartel is making money trafficking people that they would stop because it’s harder. It’s more difficult to smuggle someone in today vs 20-30 years ago. They didn’t curtail their efforts because the incentive to make money is still there. Have to go after the cartels directly to make progress there.

I Would love to know how that is formulated. As with all these analytic “stats” it brings me great skepticism

The Roster

Seems I, as well as others, seriously overrated the talent on this team.

I was thinking, who is really Big East quality on this roster as of today? It can, and hopefully will, change over time as it's not good.

Big East Starter (would play 25 mins + on a decent Big East team)
Chaunce Jenkins
Isaiah Coleman

Big East Quality Depth (would play 10-15 mins on a decent Big East team)
Addae-Wusu
Middleton

Not Big East Quality At This Time (would not play 10-15 mins on a decent Big East team)
Toumi
Felton (getting there though)
Aligbe
Yalden
Tubek
Okorafor
Erheriene
Dual
Harmon

Thoughts?
I think Okorafor and Dual should be on big east quality depth level solely based on the elite defense they can bring. Okorafor and Dual, without their medical issues (and Dual playing less point🙄, could have had very different seasons up to this point right now.

Same argument for Toumi moving up to big east depth level… bc of his offensive production per the minutes he plays esp when not at center.

Middelton is not even a quality big east reserve yet. He has one decent game so far. Way too turnover prone and he hesitates way too much on taking open 3s. Like him as a 3 and D guy who is a spot shooter. It scares me when he dribbles.

Before the season started, I still remember posters putting Coleman at 3, Middleton at the 2 with Dual at point. I was thinking Coleman was the best dribbler of the lot and everything I saw from Middelton was a spot shooter from Ohio State.

Trump Laying Down The Law On Border

So what you are saying is that Obama was five times tougher on illegals than Trump? Trump better get a backbone.
This is silly. First Trump was in office for 4 years and and Obama was in for 8 so that would make it 2.5 times. But common sense would say the toughest guy deports none because the border is so secure they can’t get in. You have to factor in the number of illegals here vs number deported if you want to be fair. If you don’t want to be fair then you can pick and choose the numbers you want and run with them.
