    In response to Basketball Bruce

  • Basketball Bruce Said:
I had to go back and look at the stats. Last year, in all combined games, Silpe shot .368% fg and .313% from the three. If you look at just Ivy League play, his percentages were .408 fg and .455 from the three, showing a marked improvement. Goodman's in conference percentages were .451 and .344. So, I'm not sure why, if people think Jake has no shot, why the same thing isn't being said about Devon.




First of all, that is comparing apples to oranges. Silpe averaged 6 minutes more PT per game last year than Goodman did this year, so naturally the cumulative and avg metric per game will skew higher for Silpe as a result.

But more to the point--no-one is saying that either Silpe or Goodman is a good shooter. But the difference is that Goodman has other ways of scoring while Silpe (relative to Goodman) must rely on his outside shooting to be successful in scoring.
