Season in review: the players
-
Let's take a look at how we feel the players performed this year. I'll start us off with a few. Feel free to offer your own ratings here if you'd like. My grades could for sure be skewed as my mood is crap right now!
My two cents:
Darryn Peterson
Averages: 20 pts / 4 rebounds / 1.7 assists ( a shockingly low 38 assists on the year. wow) / 60 3pts made
Performance: This is a tough one. Generally his numbers are more than good for a freshman. I argue he did very little to next to nothing to make the players around him better. Ya have to add his health issues to the overall as a big negative, both for him and the team.
Score: 7 out of 10
Melvin Council
Averages: 12 pts / 5 rebounds / 5 assists / 36 3pts made
Performance: Seemingly a team leader. Fan favorite with his "dawg" PR movement. Bonus points for that. Generally a weak scorer. Needed to be more dominant offensively more than he was. Had a pretty bad end of season run. Defense seemed strong, at least the effort seemed there mostly. I'd prefer Self get guards who can take over games in all aspects (sherron, graham, etc).
Score: 7 out of 10 / End of season run lowers grade.
Tre White
Averages: 13.8 pts / 6.7 rebounds / 1.7 assists / 56 3pts made
Performance: He probably deserves a better grade than i wanna give him. Except for a few games during the regular season, he was a consistent scorer, hit the boards, defended. But he was crap in post season games. Big demerit for a very experienced player. My two cents: He's soft as hell when near the rim. Weak. Go straight at it, get a foul instead of these 360 up and unders he constantly tried.
Score: 6.5 out of 10 / I understand his stats alone say he should grade better.
I may add a few at some point.

Tre was definitely one of our better boarders! Not soft there.
-
Agreed. I just thought he was wimpy going to the rim. too many wild, gangly layup attempts.

@rockchalkjayhawk had a sweet one today.

My issues arent with the players. The things I want to grade here are their usage, their growth, their pay. It feels very difficult to judge them as individual contributors in a meaningful way when their capacities are very much bounded by forces external to them.
That being said I would probably give each of them an extra point over your ratings if judging how they handled their season.
