Tracking Big Roy Hibbert

[aussiehoya]

after all this Roy talk on the board - is he ready? is he not? stuff, I decided to get inside the numbers and do a little analysis.

i put his numbers into an excel spreadsheet and messed around with them for a while. here's a few semi-interesting pieces of information.

- roy averages 17 mins a game, but when roy is given OVER 20 mins of playing time, he averages 11 pts, 7 rebs & 2 blocks.

- since big east play began, roy has yet to score a field goal.

- his personal stats don't really seem to have any direct correlation with our wins and losses.

that's all i got, guys...

I think most impressive so far our Hibbert's rebounding numbers. We may be looking at bringing down 10 - 12 rebounds a game over the next three years if he can develop enough to stay on the floor. With Green next to him, we may easily go from being one of the worst rebounding teams to one of the best in the matter of one season.

I don't think that necessarily means that we need to play him more. I think that if he is playing well that day, he will get more minutes. That is why he has better numbers when he plays more minutes.

Here are Hibbs totals for the year (BE in parenthesis) and what he would put up if he played 35 minutes per game. Seems that conditioning is more of an issue with the frosh...because he is putting up decent numbers...outside of his miserable shooting thus far in Big East play. His turnovers are a concern, but considering a large percentage of those were in the one game against Pitt, and he showed a lot of improvement in that category against UConn (he kept the ball up and didn't put it down on the floor as much) I'm confident he can overcome that.

The big thing here is Bowman's numbers going up in league play, except for scoring and steals. Seriously, he has only tallied one turnover in league play...wow!!! His assists have also gone up considerably and he is notching more rebounds against stiffer competition. Both are averaging roughly 37.5 minutes per game in Big East and 33.5 in all games.

I can't say enough about Green, as a freshman, these numbers are pretty much out of control. I am a bit concerned about his drop off in boards in Big East play, but I'm sure that that will improve as he just had a monster assignment as far as much ups go for his first two games.
