Here. W-L projections are out as well: 19-12, 6-10. Sounds about right at this point.
-- With Tracy Smith taking such a huge chunk of the shots, the leftovers are being distributed pretty evenly throughout the rest of the lineup. Everybody else getting significant minutes is taking between 15%-22% of the shots. In that regard, they're a little like this team.
-- Javi's assist rate ranks fourth nationally and is tops among power conference players.
Elsewhere:
-- Ed Davis, Deon Thompson, Ty Zeller...not a bad frontcourt. Will Graves should probably shoot less often.
-- Four ACC schools rank in the top ten in effective height. Ugh.
-- At least Ish Smith isn't turning the ball over quite as often.
-- Clemson needs a hero and the person for that job, clearly, is Ray Dungeon.
-- Tough start for Greivis Vasquez.
-- Iman Shumpert is still killing possessions with great frequency, but Georgia Tech's heralded freshman class is panning out well and their offense is vastly improved. If they can find a way to cut down on the turnovers...
-- Andre Dawkins holy crap.
-- Look at all those ugly turnover rates. Scoring points in the paint against FSU has been virtually impossible, and it looks like they're following the same win-ugly-with-defense model they did last season.
-- Note the number of possessions in the VMI/Seton Hall game, which ended in regulation. Who do I have to bribe to get VMI on the schedule? Or at least on TV? That system of theirs is epically self-defeating (just look at their FG% D) but so much fun.

Dawkins is hitting...
… 51% of his three’s? That means he’ll hit 80% against us… some of which will come from the RBC logo, a la Dunleavy.
why did you have to mention dunleavy?
He outscored our whole team that half.

Its funny you talk about watching VMI because I always tape their games in March when ESPN airs every tournament game on the planet. Super entertaining basketball
If you look at the Kenpom stats page for VMI, under Defensive Fingerprint it says “Inconclusive.” As in, I assume, evidence of defense was inconclusive.
