Who is our second best player?

I think its Duruji.

 

Cop out answer but it's a 4-way tie.

 

I wanted to vote for Castleton......wrong poll, I guess.........

 

Depends on what game it is.

 

Other than the obvious inside scoring and blocking by CC, the next best player is who I think is the emotional leader of the team, McKissic.

 

When our Round Mound of Nearly Earth Bound used a cheerleader megaphone to knock it loose I said to the person next to me "David Thompson could have knocked that out just by jumping."

She didn't know who David Thompson was.

 

From an efficiency standpoint, Castleton is not even the best. I averaged out the VPS for our first seven players:

Player.......VPS
Duruji........1.86
Jones.........1.81
Felder.........1.8
Appleby.......1.74
Castleton.....1.68
Fleming.......1.47
McKissic......1.13

This has to do with consistency and volume. Duruji NEVER shoots FTs, so he never misses them. Castleton, oth, shoots a ton of FTs and misses a bunch. Same for shot volume. Really, there's very little difference between these scores, except for McKissic, who I am tempted to rank near the top, based on the eye test. McKissic is a heart-and-soul of the team kind of player. And I'd agree with the scores, in terms of the tightness between players.

This is really an impossible question to answer. If you asked me our top two players, I'd probably say Castleton and Fleming. Both are volume players, though, so a person could make a case for Jones and Duruji or Jones and McKissic. Again, I think the players are all near equal in ability.

 

This is correct.

 

So why don't you question your scoring system? Clearly it is FUBAR.

 

I didn't see your pick.

Edit: And yes, I have questioned the scoring system (it's not mine). Oh, and piss off.

 

Duruji. Not much to discuss, there are a number of teammates who are close depending on the metric you value.

 

Da Rooj E.

 

Fleming - He can create and score better than any player on the team, IMO.

 

It's close, and after a little bit larger sample size, I might agree with you.

Actually, and upon further reflection, I'd like to change my vote from Duruji to Castleton as the 2nd-best player on the team. Keyontae is the best.

 

Revisit going into Ole Miss game.

 

Fleming is the best player on the team right now.

 

Really surprised I'm the only one who voted for Jones. I get he's been a bit of a slump, but I think his scoring will only go up and by season end will have the 2nd highest scoring average. Been really impressed with his overall play and how steady he is throughout the game.

Jones leads the team averaging 31.6 mpg, which is more than 4 minutes more per game than any other Gator. With all of those minutes, he's s only averaging 1.2 TO's/gm. He's also tied for the team lead in steals at 1.8 spg. He's also averaging 10.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.0 apg and he's shooting 81.8% from the line. Think his scoring will only go up as he's a career 40% 3-point shooter and he's only at 33.3%

I would put Duruji right behind him and can definitely understand anyone who voted for him. For me Duruji's foul trouble as of late put Jones over him.
