Good stuff. What is Dawes’ deviation.

My assumption is despite being our most productive player, he has the most whiplash of any Utah player, 20 minutes one night, 2 the next.

Thanks Miami.

247 composite, popular opinion’s best recruiting rating source and metric, has us #44 in composite avg talent score per recruit.

By same source and metric:
We were #36 in 2024.
We were #24 in 2023.
We were #36 in 2022.

We would have to go on a hot streak just to swirl and you can’t go on streaks when you can’t win road games.

By the numbers Mason should be taking these minutes. But that would be awkward for Craig because you know, you’re messing with family.

There’s retaliation coming for Harlan’s sh!t fit. I don’t think that ended with the fine. Though there is less predictability than ever, I expect the schedule to be slanted against us (road game travel, road game opponent, bye week timing, etc).

[Yergensen]

Mason also underutilized and I think his recent game minutes are below his season average, not trending the right way.

It looks like we have an efficiency problem at guard. One of the reasons why Craig has gone with big lineup as of late?

Player BPM / MPG
Keanu: 8.2 / 15.3
Lawson: 7.8 / 23.2
Wahlin: 5.2 / 21.6
Mason: 5.2 / 18.7
Mongo: 5.3 / 21.9
Gabe: 3.3 / 28.6
Ezra: 2.2 / 19.9
Miro: 2.1 / 21.5
Hunter: 1.9 / 21.3
Keller: 0.7 / 10.4

Good stuff.

Would be interesting to see minutes per game added to the side of BPM in your list. This would highlight possible underuse of certain high impact players and possible overuse of certain low impact players.

Majerus didn’t keep his best scorer (Van Horn) off the court because he didn’t play defense.

Majerus stressed defense, yet he saw the net gain with Van Horn on the court.

This team is ranked 132nd in scoring defense, so how well does anyone on this team play defense?

As was posted earlier, Dawes plus/minus is second best on the team.

Despite all of this Smith thinks he has to limit Dawes playing time because he is a defensive liability.

[Yergensen]

This^^^ + any other talent that fits our needs.
