To get back to the thread topic, if all you see is a physical ability then X is obviously better to be playing than Ryan at the position Ryan is forced to play. But X for all the spectacular plays ie blocks he makes he makes more than enough bad plays to make up for them. My guess without doing a study is that the plus /minus for UD is worse when X is in the game than when Ryan is in the game (excluding the
Duquesne game when X was all world). As I recall last night UD lost a ten point lead with X in the game and even the commentators indicated that a lot of the points that VCU was getting were the result of bad play on the part of X not playing team defense.
