I have seen people say we are going to suck next year.  I think the weber haters want that but its not happening with angel running the show.  Should be pretty good again the next couple of years barring transfers.  Frank left a pretty good situation.

 You are overrating rod.  Four starters back again likely all juniors and seniors in the starting lineup.  Angel will be one of the best two pg's in the league.  Should be another strong defensive team that will handle it well and hardly turn it over.  Looks like an easy tourney team to me.

And you've went too far the other direction. We're losing 3 of our top 7. I don't think we will have a player to fill the scoring void left by Rod, but we can find the points if Shane, EMAPE will, Angel and Gip continue progressing. We'll need either Diaz or DJamer to make a fairly substantial leap up.

He's actually slipped a bit in that comparison (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=25919.msg722609#msg722609); probably because his assist rate is going up (way up) while his 3PT shooting and TO% go down.

Angel is just 13 for his last 57 from 3pt land. He has been playing outstanding ball here of late, so his shooting can be overlooked some.

But it would be nice if he could just hit 33% of his long distant shots.

I keep saying it, but too many of his 3pt misses are because he is 2-3 feet behind the arc.

And he's missing good shots, very few are forced. If he starts hitting 3s and continues his pace with assists and steals, he'll be a lock for all Big 12. In Big 12 games he's 2nd in steals and first in assists and way out in front in assist to TO ratio. And those traditional stats are what most of the people who vote for those things will look at.
Title: Re: #teamangel
Post by: pissclams on January 31, 2013, 01:31:58 PM
the only stat we should be worried about as it relates to angel are his assists.  as long as those are up, his shooting % won't have an effect on the team one way or another.

i don't think angel thinks of himself as a 3 point shooter, and he's not one.  it's a part of his game he'll have to develop.  at this point in his college career he's really just starting to solidify his given skill set (the one he brought to college), at the d1 level.  dribble, dish, drive, creating scoring opportunities for others.

if i had my way, he'd strengthen his current skills today and polish his perimeter game throughout the summer and into next season.  that would be my expectation anyway.

I'm sure he knows that's not his main role, but he still shoots nearly 4 threes per game in Big 12 play. If he's open he's going to let it go. I'm good with that, but it would be nice if he was shooting better than 18.5%. That's not intended to be a major criticism of Angel, but if there is one thing about his game in Big 12 play (besides some of his fouls when they keep him off the floor) its that.

His slow release cracks me up. I mean, they're good looks when he starts his shot, but by the time he rises & fires an hour and a half later, there's prob. someone in his face.

I justify my cringing of angels 3s by thinking that when I have my son James Terry "insert my last name", and JT plays the glorious game of bbal, that I will cringe out of love cause I love him so much and want him to make it.

So don't be conflicted, just know your love of Angel has reached full potential.

Since they started tracking steals in '82, only two players have record at least 1000pts, 300ast, and 100 steals in their career for K-State.  (Pullen and Henson)  Incidentally, they both had accomplished this by the end of their Junior season.  Angel will join them next year.


So will Spradling, though he'll be the only one of the four to take a full four years

This isn't a shot at your post, yosh, or even a shot at Will so please don't take it that way. I used to think 1000 points was a big deal, but I just realized that you can reach 1000 points in a four year career by averaging under 8 ppg. I think 1000 was a bigger deal before 30 game regular seasons.

This is an excellent point. Let's also remember that there were many years when freshmen couldn't play varsity ball, and their stats only counted for their soph, junior, and senior years. Those guys played JV games before the varsity games.

Love me some Angelito & I love the chemistry he's developing with others (Shane mainly). You can tell they have 'it.'

Sprads may NOT take until the end of next year if he keeps breaking body parts. I liked his energy after the half the other night. He has plenty of ribs, right?

Yeah, but most people average 2 to 4 points as an underclassmen, then 15 to 18 as an upperclassmen.  Very few do as the third or fourth scoring option for four years  Lance Harris is the only other one I can remember, and he was a better scorer than Will.  1000 pts mark has deminished, but it's still not insignificant.  At the very least it says you played a lot.  Will might end up as the all time minutes leader if he stays healthy.  Let that sink in for a minute.

Most people? How about a few? I'll go with pretty much none. I can't remember a single basketball player who averaged 2-4 as a freshman and then 15-18 as an upperclassman. A 3 point average is horrible, a 16.5 average is very good. Name 2 and if you do tell us how long you had to search it.

I clearly didnt want to take a shot at will but since you're going to press me I'm gong to aim and fire. Will getting 1000 points doesn't mean anything other than Frank was awful at recruiting guards. Never has a 1000 point scorer been so pedestrian. Certainly within the annals of K-State basketball 1000 points has ever meant less. He is the fifth option when he is on the floor. Will eventually reaching that mark is the surest sign that its an arbitrary, useless milestone.

Since they started tracking steals in '82, only two players have record at least 1000pts, 300ast, and 100 steals in their career for K-State.  (Pullen and Henson)  Incidentally, they both had accomplished this by the end of their Junior season.  Angel will join them next year.


So will Spradling, though he'll be the only one of the four to take a full four years

This isn't a shot at your post, yosh, or even a shot at Will so please don't take it that way. I used to think 1000 points was a big deal, but I just realized that you can reach 1000 points in a four year career by averaging under 8 ppg. I think 1000 was a bigger deal before 30 game regular seasons.

Wasn't trying to push you on Will.  I will concede that Will Spradling will be the worst 1000 pt scorer of all time.  Sorry you took it that way.  If anthing I was defending the 1000 pt mark and saying Will is more of outlier becuase it was just a matter of getting an obsurd amount of minutes.  I probably worded it poorly.

All I was getting at was that most 1000 pt scorers progress so their career average may not be great, but they have great years when their turn comes.  Those numbers I threw out were probably a bit exagerated for effect, but, off the top of my head, Cartier and McGruder are both examples of players who progressed from barely contributing role players as freshman, to complimentary players as sophomores and stars as upperclassmen.  I think of most career 1000 pt scorers this way.  I can't think of a lot of players who come in and contribute 8ppg as a freshman and just stay there for 3 more years with either progressing or being recruited over.

It would be concerning from Rodney or Will (or now Shane).

But it's secondary for Angel, and while he's doing everything else fabulously, his outside shooting isn't really a "concern" at all.

He's by far the most important player on our team, and we're winning right now because he's playing awesomely.

There is nothing more concerning than a PG who refuses to shoot the 3, though. If he isn't willing to shoot, the defense will just sag off, and Angel's dribble drives become a thing of the past. Angel just needs to keep shooting. I have faith that he can be a consistent 30% 3-point shooter.

He misses quite a few inside shots. I wouldn't call them "layup" in the sense of them being easy buckets.  Even still, it's pretty trivial when compared to his overall value to the team.

He seems to have learned to play with it for the most part. He does a nice job of making up for lateral quickness with change of tempo with the basketball. Hopefully the university gets him to a good doc in the off-season and we get healthy Angel next year, who leads us to a national championship single handedly.

The question becomes how good can he be?

Judging by the 27.6% he's hit in 28 Big 12 games over 2 seasons, I'd say Angel making 1/3 of his 3s would be pretty good.
Title: Re: #teamangel
Post by: EMAWzified on February 09, 2013, 10:09:29 PM
I think his 3-point shooting will improve significantly as a junior and senior. Running the point as a young player probably hurt his percentage. But being a good 3-point shooter is quantitative not subjective. And 33.3 percent is the bottom.

he's better than that.  he's hitting 80% of fts and was hitting 75+% for much of last year before fading later in the season.  ft shooting is the best measure of shooting ability, so we can safely conclude that he's a good shooter.  it's much more subjective, but just looking at his shooting form, he gives the appearance of fine shooter.  he also evidences range, which indicates shooting ability.  finally, i haven't seen hs % stats, but he certainly put up scoring numbers, which at his size is hard to do without hitting from outside.

translating the ft% to in-game three point shooting, you'd expect him to suffer a little because he has a slow release and needs more space than many shooters.  accordingly he's going to shoot more from farther out, and more closely contested shots than might otherwise be the case.  his height also contributes to that.  still, i expect him to finish at 33% or so this year.  in the coming two years, i expect a minimum of about 35% on 200 attempts, adding about 1% to his average for every 30 or so attempts less than 200 that he takes.
