RE: Assists

[Harris, Derek C]

Andy,
I would rather have 4 guys average 2plus assists 
a game.  Not only does it show how unselfish this
UC team is, but is makes it hard to double-team our
team.  Last year, everybody new that Barker was the
distributor.  Teams would play tight defense on him
which slowed down are offense.  This year they cannot
do that.  Kirkland, White are 6'7+ and can see over
defenders and double teams.  I like the way this team
moves the ball.  off the subject, Roy Bright won the
MVP at the Dell Curry Classic.  This is his 2nd MVP
award this year in a major tournament.  He averaged
19points and 9 rebs a game.  Can't wait to see him in
a Bearcat uniform.  Does anybody know if Vincent Banks
has recovered from his surgery?

Subject: [UC Basketball] Assists


I am surprised that we have seen no discussion of UC's interesting stats
for individual assists.  There are 5 guys at 2.0 or better and a sixth
at 1.9.  These six guys average between 1.9 and 2.9 APG and total almost
15 a game between them.
 
My question is, do you like this or would you perfer to have a 6 APG and
a 4 APG guy?  I think this stat fits right in with this year's team.
Depth and diversity.  Just like with scoring, it is hard to key on a
guy, you have to key on 10 of them...
