Nice to see the players engaged with Hoya Twitter (and mocking the roster mishap)

The repertoire Sorber shows in this clip is salivating and wildly ahead of schedule for a freshman. Backside seal and finish. Jabstep baseline jumper. Pick N roll for a catch and finish. Pick and pop for a 3. Dribble, spin, right hand hook. I hope they're collecting NIL for next year now - it's going to cost a Brinks truck. Full caveats being that 1) NO, I am not saying he's going to be a Final Four MOP, 15 year HOF pro averaging 20 and 10 and 2) he's a freshman so of course he's going to have some upcoming learning experience games when he gets exposed for being too slow, too weak, too young ... but I'm sensing a tiny bit of Olajuwon in his game (ok, less maybe 25% athleticism)

Per Evan Maya
Way to early, lineup statistics
Best Two Man Combination J. Epps / M. Peavy
Best Three Man Combination Jo. Burks / Ja. Epps / Mi. Peavy
Best Four Man Combination Ja. Epps / Ju. Halaifonua / Ma. Mack / Mi. Peavy
Best Five Man Lineup Ja. Epps / Dr. McKenna / Mi. Peavy / Th. Sorber / Cu. Williams

Something I don't understand....
Through two games, Evan Miya's NET BPR has Sorber as our 6th best player. Sorber is slightly ahead of Julius. Drew is the 2nd highest on the team after Peavy.
I am not sure that this statistic is resonating with my eyes and review.
Meanwhile, according to College Basketball Reference - Sorber has the highest Offensive Rating on the team of the big-minute players and close to the lowest Defensive Rating.

I am not sure that this statistic is resonating with my eyes and review. Meanwhile, according to College Basketball Reference - Sorber has the highest Offensive Rating on the team of the big-minute players and close to the lowest Defensive Rating. He doesn't publish his exact math, and I'm not going to pay for the premium tier, either to dig in. However, he claims he incorporates things like efficiency, plus/minus, but also strength of teammates and strength of opponents. Given that general set up, two games is way too small a sample, especially since the competitive aspect also has issues. I think there's a pretty good chance that the player ratings have some pre-season ranking still in them (it's suspiciously close to the pre-season rankings). The defensive numbers are going to be harder to pin down, but I don't see how his offensive rating is that low. That said, D rating is blech. Sorber's 27% D rebounding rate is going to give him relatively undue credit for positive defensive play -- it's just a terrible failing of the stat. TLDR; It may be a useless stat ... or it may be too early to get a good read.

Patrick Stevens fills in for Hoya home games if it doesn’t get in the way of his Terp coverage. He has done solid writeup for the first two Georgetown games.

I hope Peavy can challenge Kalbrenner for DPOY. It would be a tall order but I don't know why it couldn't happen.

I had been curious what Epps + Mack's usage was going to be fearing something in the 55-60% range. So far it is, it is 44.8% with Sorber leading the team at 31.1%. There is balance among the starting 5 except Sorber stealing some of Burks' share.

I would only add that it's premature to rely on player efficiency data after only 2 games, especially since we missed Fielder in game 2 and Julius in game 1 was coming in after some time off with injury.
10 games or so should give us a better read on this kind of stuff.

Agree that all the statistics are too early to be relied upon, but trends start somewhere.

Does anyone know why Drew McKenna isn't getting more minutes?

Does anyone know why Drew McKenna isn't getting more minutes? I believe he has been #11 on the chart. When Drew Fielder was sick last game and Cooley substituted the whole line-up, then he was included in the 2nd five. From what I can tell, his play has been inconsistent.

I noticed that he wears number 7. When did that become legal? The rest of the roster all has traditional 0-5 numbers.
