I'm going to let this one die as now I feel like a jerk for constantly rubbing it in his face (as ridiculous as the numbers patently are)


It's completely fine. I own it. He wouldn't have gone as high as 25/12, but there is no reason to believe that a guy averaging 15/8 never seeing the ball couldn't go for a lot more on a two man team running pick and roll with the only other player. 5 buckets and 4 boards might be a stretch, conceded. But just saying he wouldn't do it in a vacuum because no one else did it is worthless analysis.

All Americans are not usually the stats guys. That has changed a little with the rise of the mid major, but stat guys are usually on shitty teams.


I have raised plenty of substantive objections to your silly statement in the past. I referenced the stats only to provide a greater context to your absurd statement, nothing more.

And with a good coach, I see Anderson averaging 17-10 at most.


So with a good coach that isolates Anderson and Hanlan on the pick and roll instead of sticking him in the paint while the guards pass it around the perimeter to jack a contested three, you see him gaining 2 points and 2 boards.

If a good coach made him practice FTs he would gain 2 points, doing nothing else.

You do realize that the low post talent in the MAAC and WCC pales in comparison to the ACC, right?


Anderson was already going for 15 and 8 with a horrid coach that never got him the ball. That's the point you are missing.

And let's not go crazy on ACC post talent. After Okeafor and Christmas, there aren't many good post defenders. Or post players at all. Harrell is really a face up guy.

Think about this for a minute - Pat Connaughton of ND is SEVENTH in rebounds per game at 8.

his rebounds might go down if they shot a fewer amount of contested threes :shrug

The way they shoot? Loooooonnnng rebounds.

Plus, Anderson got most of his on the defensive glass.
