Ken pom now has Penn finishing third at 8-6. He has Harvard and Brown at 7-7.
To the good, Penn has six players who get time with ratings above 100. Guess which of those player has the lowest of those six 100's. Hint: he had 31 today.
Glad he did on a day when Penn couldn't buy a 3.
Your grasp of KenPom data and it’s meaning is terribly shallow. Do some homework.
Anyone who puts up a net positive ORtg using 1/3 of a team’s possessions when he’s on the floor is a uniquely valuable player. Most 30%+ volume possession eaters are well under that rating, and tend to play on very bad teams. Sophomore & junior year Tony Hicks for example.
Is it good to be so dependent on so valuable a player? Of course not. It would be better in particular to have Martz, Smith, & Willams upping their usage rate, even if it means lowering their impressive ORtg, because it would shift defensive attention away from Dingle and Slajchert and mean we’re an overall harder rotation to guard.
Still, we do need to recognize that Steve’s system is getting a lot of positive offensive play out of these supporting players.
If those three were all a little more like Monroe and his 18% on O there’d be fewer of those stagnant stretches the offense can lapse into.
