Why are some people allergic to facts?
The question is what you compare it to:
We had one Senior with experience(Sibert): who is far, far, far superior to DD.
. . . a Sophomore PG who hasn't played much(Scooch): SS averaged 17 minutes per game the prior year as a freshman and had close to a 2:1 A/TO ratio as a freshman. JC played 9.1 minutes per game and had a 1:1 ratio last year. You are literally arguing for the other side. SS played almost double the minutes JC did coming into the year, and was more effective even as a freshman.
. . . a junior small forward playing center(Pierre): who was 3rd on the team in scoring and shot 49.5% from 3, compared to Cunningham who didn't play because of injury. Both are undersized at center.
. . . a Sophomore shooting guard that hardly played, and doesn't shoot well(Kyle): KD as a freshman played 239 minutes and scored 70 points. Trey as a freshman played 52 minutes and scored 27 total points.
. . . and a Sophomore forward that hardly played, gets fouled a lot when he does and can't make a free throw, (Pollard): Well, Pollard only took 2 FT's as a freshman, so you can't say that coming into the season. Pollard averaged 8.5 minutes per game and scored 83 points. But, compared to XW this year, yeah, XW wins.
. . . Then we have one Freshman(D. Davis): Compared to our freshmen coming off the bench who where equally touted. So this is a push.
. . . and a walk-on(Wehrli): Wehrli's 5 fouls against Kostas' out of control freshman body for 15 minutes per game: OK, this year's squad wins 1 but it's pretty far at the margin.
. . . AND NOBODY ELSE: Dayton has so far played only 9 players on this young season, and Svoboda's 10 minutes per game have generally been worse than playing 4 vs. 5.
. . . Cry me a fricken river: I'll just rationally take the old team rather than get all emotional because the facts clearly say the '14-'15 team would have been better.
