Jumbo: "Those stats are utterly meaningless. Why? Henderson handles the ball WAY more than Scheyer, who spends most of his time standing in the corner waiting for kickouts from Henderson that rarely come. Also, how many times does Henderson make a hockey assist (the pass that leads to the pass that leads to the score)? Why is it not possible to realize that Henderson has a legitimate and important flaw in his game?"
Ok Jumbo, educate me. You're charting the minutes so you may know. You say that Henderson handles the ball WAY more than Scheyer. So how many minutes has Henderson handled the ball and how many minutes has Scheyer handled the ball?
I suspect you don't actually know.
How many times does Henderson make a "hockey" assist?
I suspect you don't actually know.
How many times does Scheyer, on the other hand, make a hockey assist?
I suspect you don't actually know.
How often do college basketball statisticians award a "hockey" assist in a basketball game? I suspect rarely if ever. So what are you talking about?
If you are going to disagree, thats fine. Happens to me all the time. I'm married, after all. But use facts.
I give you some data. Assists per 40 minutes. You have NOTHING to refute the data. NOTHING. Other than your conventional wisdom about who handles the ball the most. So show me. Where's the data that proves your point?
By the way, hasn't Jon handled the point on occasion this year? But in his 306 minutes he's handled the ball less than Henderson in his 260 minutes?
Can't wait to see your data.
I'm not saying Henderson is the living end. But you are constantly on his case whereas, for you, Scheyer farts rose petals. That'd fine . . . . beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I love Scheyer's game. But I wish he had some of Henderson's traits . . . just as I wish Henderson had some of Scheyer's traits.
I just think it's a little unseemly for no-talent basketball hacks like us to be criticizing these kids. I mean, who the hell are we to criticize them? But you just can't let loose of Henderson.
