In response to Noah Friedman
The one caution on next year’s offense is that, among returnees who logged 150 minutes last year, the two lowest ORATs on the team were Ledlum and Kirkwood. So more Kirkwood and Ledlum may not be a good thing, as there is an argument that they already took more shots than is ideal last year.
That said, neither had a terrible ORAT, so with predictable improvement they should move into unquestionable net positive territory. And the biggest issue for both guys is the ability to get to the free throw line and then miss the shots. That can be addressed by either learning to hit free throws, or getting fouled less (!). And Ledlum needs to either hit more 3s, or not take them.
To me, Harvard is a big mystery for next year. Talent-wise, they should be at the top of the league. But experience-wise they are way behind what should be a very good Yale team (the whole league is way behind Yale in returning win shares). And it is hard to guess precisely how Amaker puts the puzzle together. So my guess is that Harvard and Princeton are fighting for second place next year.
