Lamar Peters - 0 points

[DawgsOnTheWing]

We played 7 guys in our Final 4 run.

I'd say 8+.....Bart Hyche, Whit Hughes, Ty Washington off the bench, with Bubba Wilson some as well.

Did you watch the game? The only guard we had that attacked the zone was Q. Peters did nothing last night

Peters was shut down because Georgia played zone. And he can't penetrate the zone. And when he's not making the hardest shot in basketball at any level - the step-back 25-foot 3-pointer, he's just not that good.

nah, bubba never saw the court. Final 4 game vs Syracuse, all 5 starters played 32+ minutes. Whit got 10 min. Bart and Ty got 5 minutes and 4 minutes. We basically played 6 guys. I expanded it to 7 b/c Bart and Ty together was like us playing 7 guys.

There was no pressure defense last night. UGA sat back in a zone. Yes, I would rather the ball be in Tyson's hands than Lamar's. In conference games, Lamar has a 20.3 turnover percentage (estimate of turnovers per 100 plays). Only Ado is worse. Tyson is 2nd best on the team at 11.6. Perry is 11.4.

You shouldn’t feel bad because it’s really easy for stat nerds to get this wrong.

No, of course there was no pressure last night. It’s why Carter was able to get the ball up the floor without turning it over.

Carter isn’t asked to do that when there is pressure, and he hasn’t been all year.

Coaches put players in a position to utilize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Of course guys who handle the ball more like Lamar commit more turnovers on average than guys who aren’t asked to handle it against pressure.

I love Tyson. He’s one of my favorite players. But watch him dribbling under pressure and it’s clear he isn’t comfortable. Lamar is.

Of course Lamar is flawed, but there’s no way any coach in the country is sticking Carter at point over him.

Not basing it on his ratio, just on the way he played. Some nights, he is fire. Last night, he sucked.
The passes he made were crap too.

Yes. Lamar is tough and street ball savvy. Not perfect but the man can bang and keep on keeping on. I love the guy. He's playing smarter and watch my words. He'll shoot the nets down soon. Right when it's time.

I'm confused why you think my very realistic scenario only applies to last night.

I should have specified that its completely stupid to use a stat from a single game to make a decision on anything.

My scenario describes why some stats are pointless. In this instance, if a shooter misses, no assist is recorded. Not Peters' fault though.

Here is another example- fouls. No assist when the shooter is fouled. That great breakdown off the drive and dump off to Ado in the 2nd half ended up being a turnover. Not Peters fault his potential assist wasnt realized. Ado didnt score from point blank. Plus, Ado was fouled but it was missed. So had that been caught, Peters still wouldn't have an assist.

a/to or other simple stats have their use, but that use is limited.

Shortening your rotation for one win-or-go-home game is such a different topic.

Bigger picture, conference games only stats, Lamar is last on our team in almost every advanced statistic: last in Player efficiency rating, last in win shares per 40 minutes, last in win share total-this is an estimate of wins contributed due to his offense and defense yet he is 2nd on the team in minutes played and 2nd on the team in usage percentage.

He is also last on the team in true FG percentage and effective FG percentage. Yet he is first on 3 point attempt rate. Damn.

Man, that is shocking stuff. I knew he was playing much worse than he did in November and December, but damn.

Well damn. We actually have people on the board with basketball IQ
