Thanks for the insight. Yes as is with any statistical model you need sufficient data, will be more interesting to see how his model looks as the season progresses. Maybe use it for my NBN bracket ☺️ can’t be any worse than my predictions

 

Yes not easy at all this early in the season, makes me wonder what is the point before the season begins but I’ll start tracking his model when it does. Thanks for posting

 

I believe our success this season hinges on PG play.

 

I think it comes down to scoring more than our opponents, but I'm no computer geek and my algorithms suck - so I could be off here.

 

Seriously...Chinyelu 15 mpg 4 ppg?
He might just be our toughest player outside of Martin.
And who else is playing center for the majority of time?
Condon plays the 4....not the 5.

 

Based on what I've heard and read, I'd be shocked if Chinyelu got less than 20 minutes per game. Shocked, I tell you!

 

Time well spent.

 

Condon played the majority of his minutes at the five last year. He is bigger, stronger, and more skilled in the low post than Haugh or Alexis--and not nearly as good as a pick and roll player.

These projections are really based off what Chinyelu did last year. I do think he plays more, but I am not quite as bullish on his offensive skill as others. That said, even though Condon and Chinyelu are projected to start this year, given their propensity for foul trouble, I expect them to mostly split the minutes at the five, with Condon picking up another 6-8 at the four.

 

No Klavzar? His minutes will be limited, but he is a 6-9 ppg guy without breathing hard. Minimum.

 

I think we'll see very early in the season that it'll be hard to keep Klavzar off the floor. He may need an adjustment period when we get into SEC play, though.
