What's interesting is that our metrics (according to Torvik) without Caleb are not that far off from our metrics with a full roster. If you take out the two games that HV missed then our metrics are actually better than with a full roster.

Ah, got it. Me not wording my post accurately.

Of course any fan will take a win over a loss. I don't think that is debatable. The point of asking Snoop for the info was to compare the two teams each season.

Sorry, I thought it was clear that I was talking about the metrics that Snoop posted.

I agree, although Duke did do a good job with retaining talent this year. In any event, it's HD/staff's job to combat this and figure it out. If they can't then the ptb need to look towards finding a group that can.

Thank you for this, Snoop. It's clear that Roy, while by most accounts had less talent yearly, he was able to keep the gap close and flip the gap frequently. We've yet to have a year better than Duke since HD took over, and it doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon.

Making the gap between us and them more important to monitor. While they've out-recruited us in the past, Roy was able to keep the gap close and flip it frequently. HD doesn't seem to have us heading in that direction.

Yeah, sorry for being vague. I am curious on the gap in performance of our team and them, and how wide of a gap is that compared with the gaps in the past.

Good point. I'm curious, historically, how wide the gap is.

He's shooting 40.7% on 113 3PA.

According to Miya, Caleb has an OBPR = 5.17, DBPR = 3.63 (BPR = 8.81) which is 26th overall. Other players of note: HV has OBPR = 5.38, DBPR = 3.78 (BPR = 9.16) which is 21st overall Ngongba has OBPR = 5.06, DBPR = 4.84 (BPR = 9.90) which is 9th overall Boozer has OBPR = 9.98, DBPR = 5.10...

Odd behavior for someone who's pleased with the job HD/staff have done. Do you usually not watch the games?

From Tipton (via Rell), regarding recruiting: “You know, they’re a well-oiled machine right now,” said the agent. “Honestly man, I feel like there’s really not a team that’s kind of got the structure and build like Duke. You know, they’ve got (Baker) in the background of things helping with...

First half + 1-2 minutes of the second half, fought hard. Still gave up a lot of open shots and offensive rebounds, turnovers, but were competing. Burn it after that.

I completely agree that Wilson has not reached his potential, and I do think that Boozer is closer to his than Wilson is. I have not seen any mock that has Wilson ahead of Boozer. Will that play out, who knows. But, to say "No GM that knows anything about the current state of NBA basketball...
