boisewitha-s Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Think this is pretty accurate. Quote "but we only lost to Stanford by 3." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaredcg Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m curious who picked Nevada 3rd lol. Nevada could stumble this year sure, it’s happened to a lot of favorites in history but to pick them 3rd before any injury or whatever is silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndroidAggie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 OH! this is hoops. we may surprise some people. i think we played a lot of uninspired basketball in the last 3 years. we still don't have the personnel to compete at a higher level, but i think we surprise people this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Taylor and James first team over Porter and Brown is a damn outrage. 5 Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout.

sdsuphilip4 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Doesn’t matter but Jalen not on first team is laughable and speaks to everyone thinking PPG are the only thing that matters, he’s the 2nd best player in the league (after cody) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great in any category statistically last year. 10 points and 7 boards doesn't jump off the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdsuphilip4 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Here are the top 10 returnees by BPM 1. Justinian Jessup: 8.9 2. Cody Martin: 8.8 3. Jalen McDaniels: 7.3 4. Caleb Martin: 6.9 5. Sam Bittner: 6.5 6. Shakur Juiston: 5.8 7. Anthony Mathis: 5.5 8. Quinn Taylor: 5.5 9. Sam Merrill: 5.4 10. Matt Mitchell: 5.1 Some factors, BPM defensive stats rely on how good the team is on defense/steal/block/drb%. Offensive relies on 3PR/TS%/Usage/Assist%/TOV%. It’s far from perfect but it does a good job showing production with the publically available tools. Btw McDaniels and Mitchell are the only sophomore on the list. None of nevada’s Incoming transfers rate well by bpm cause they are heavily docked for being on terrible teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
