    2018-2019 Minutes Contest

    Contest time again! This will remain open until tip-off of the Kentucky game - all posts in before then will count. Pick the minutes per game for each of Duke's players. Minutes per game will be calculated per total team game, not just total games played by the player. In other words, if Joey Baker gets into 10 of the team's 40 games and plays 100 total minutes, his MPG will be 2.5, not 10. cbarry was last year's winner, whose projections were off by a total of 31.5 minutes across the entire team. For reference, here's last year's numbers:

    Allen - 35.6
    Trent - 33.9
    Bagley - 30.2
    Duval - 29.8
    Carter - 26.9
    DeLaurier - 11.3
    Bolden - 10.1
    O'Connell - 10.1
    Goldwire - 4.6
    White - 4.3
    Robinson - 2.2
    Vrankovic - 1.8
    Tucker - 0.4
    Buckmire - 0.1

    (careful readers will note that totals more than 200 - this is because the team played two overtime games. If you want to factor potential overtimes into your projections, more power to you)
    Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.

    You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner

    You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

    Feels like games missed due to injury should not count towards the total.

    But I’m not sure Mitch has any eligibility left. But I guess he could play the right side of the (passing) lane.

    Aoc 49%

    Just read The Chronicle's feature on O'Connell...I was surprised to see that he shot a fantastic 49% from 3. The sample was not huge, but it was not tiny either - 45 attempts. Now I would not assume he could shoot that kind of percentage with a lot more attempts, and with some of those shots coming in very big moments perhaps - but that indicates to me he's def an over 40 per cent guy. If he and Jack can be 40-45% from 3 and contribute otherwise too, they will see significant minutes with the rest of the lineup.

    Moreover, (and we've had this discussion before) it's important to use as the denominator the number of games a player is available for...the official Duke stats just divide total minutes by games played, which can at time produce a totally bogus result, e.g. a guy who only gets in 15 games and averages seven minutes in each of those games...in other words, when you add up everyone's minutes/game, you should end up with 200 minutes (plus overtime minutes)...

    Exactly. This is the reason that we don't adjust player minutes for games missed to injury (or suspension or whatever reason). The relevant number is minutes per game Duke plays.

    logical....zero minutes played is a relevant and legit stat....whereas points per game is points per game played in.
