While his #'s are not different than his FR/SO campaigns, I would expect them to be at least the same and slightly better in a few categories given he's a yr older and tabbed as an AA.
So, while he's not performing much different than he has in prior years, he's not living up to expectations - which will hurt his NBA draft stock, which wasn't too high to begin with.
He needs Energy's energy (or, whoever is playing the point needs that E). He tries to play too cool, which is fine when you're up by 10 and shooting > 40% beyond the arc, but when you're down 10 and shooting 20%, if that, from the arc he needs to get steals and force TOs.
He needs someone to step up at point guard, because he's not nearly the same player when he's not playing off the ball.
Pullen's playing significantly worse this season, as you can see by the stats. His Ortg is down 14 points, his free throw percentage is down ~11%, and his 3-point percentage is down ~8%. He needs someone to step up at point guard, because he's not nearly the same player when he's not playing off the ball.
3 PT. shooting is a disapointment because of the way we saw him shoot against BYU/Xavier and that's what was most fresh in our minds. I'm still confident he's going to have a 1st team all conference season.
Wasn't Denis shooting like 27% from 3 at this point last year and everyone melting down about it? Yes, I know, not you SD.

yes. it wasn't until martin moved him off-ball that he was finally able to hit a few threes.

imagine that, bmw clinging to a talking point, irregardless of evidence for or against.

Statistical evidence shows that Pullen's scoring numbers are down, his free throw numbers are down, his field goal numbers are down, his 3-point numbers are down, and his turnover rate is higher. But, but, but... it's just a phog.net talking point!!!!

not just a phog.net talking point. a lot of idiots in other places also convinced themselves that a career pg with combo skills could only play at the nominal "2" in kstate's offense. it's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but phog.net hasn't yet monopolized retardation.
"Irregardless."
:lol:
what a dumbass.
I'm not entirely positive, but I'm fairly sure using FT% as evidence that moving back to PG has hurt Pullen is something an idiot would do.
Wow... you are dumber than a box of bricks.
I was just pointing out that his overall numbers are down this year, which only someone with an extremely small penis would deny. His free throw rate is down as well, which indicates to me that he's trying to distribute the ball more, instead of looking to score and draw a foul.

his shot% is up and he's attempting a higher proportion of 2s than 3s compared to last year, dumbass.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, your a moran.
well, beems apparently missed the irregardless thread
I generally love sys and _fans....but in this instance I have to disagree. Pullen is significantly worse this year as compared to last year. When you know basketball, you don't always need math to tell you when someone is playing well or not. And this year, Pullen has been very average...and in some cases just plain bad. That's not to say that he is the reason we are losing. Our bigs totally sucking @$$ is the real problem, IMO. Now let's see who calls me a dumbass first.

But IMHO a lot of his "worse" (perception-wise) is not making shots. I mean we remember getting torched by Irving and some of the TOs that stand out, but if he was shooting last year's 40% from 3 and not 31% with 3PT games of 1-8 vs Duke, 1-6 vs WSU, 0-4 vs Loyola, and 1-7 vs FL we'd all forget a lot of the other stuff. What stands out right now is he's not hitting the big shots in some of the bigger games. Like CartierFor3 said, we all want to see Xavier/BYU performances and those 1 for's and 0 for's are a surprise.
Pullen had 12 games below 30% last year.
He has 6 this year, though one of those was VT when he only attempted one 3PT shot.
I think he has had plenty of games where he has been very good defensively, he's being a) asked to do more b/c the rest of the wings are inexperienced so b) when he does get beat it looks much worse b/c he doesn't have the help he expects. And Irving absolutely torched him and the rest of the team. Outside that game, he has been beaten in spots, but I think his defense has been just as good as last year overall. But without guys like Clemente, Sutton, Colon, and even Merri to help out (when and where he knows they will help) he's bound to look bad at times b/c he's usually guarding their best perimeter player.
if it's any consolation to anyone, goEMAW often misinterprets kenpom. pretty embarrassing to think you're acting smart when you really look like a dumbass.

yup

examples?
re. pullen's defense. i think the whole discussion started with irving getting by him at will. and has continued without any additional evidence. he's still an outstanding on-ball defender.
FL guards got by him also...maybe not at will, but fairly regularly.

no they didn't. kstate absolutely stifled uf in the 1st half. and it started with the kstate guards shutting down both dribble penetration and passing lanes.
The first half of the first half they played pretty good defense but after that it was pretty lazy. And we could not push the ball up the court. Which I know there press is supposed to slow down the transition off of a made basket but if we had a ball handler we should be able to exploit that weak press they put on.FL guards got by him also...maybe not at will, but fairly regularly.

Yes they did. Maybe not in the first 15 mins of the game, but there was another 25 after that where Pullen was blown by on several occasions. Walker scored the first FG for FL by blowing past Jake.

i'm not going to say that no uf guard ever got past pullen, because i certainly didn't watch that matchup that closely. i will say that it you think uf guards going past pullen was a systemic issue throughout the game, you're either blind or didn't see the game. it simply didn't happen.
