I like interesting stats and Flory is certainly giving us some. He’s missed 9 shots this season. Obviously he’s a low volume guy yet that’s out of 49 shots. That seems to indicate a brain that is either afraid Bill will yank him if he misses or a brain that tells him, I’m only shooting if I know I’ll make it. I wish I had a brain like that when I play basketball!
He’s being compared to Doke and his 46% FT shooting is on par with Doke. Not many guys have a FT % that is over 30% lower than their FG%.
Yesterday he padded his blocks stat, but he now is averaging 1.2 per game. That’s a nice number for most players, but he does that while averaging 13 minutes per game.
If you extrapolate his fouls he would be fouling out every game if he played 40 minutes a game. Maybe coaches are like don’t worry about fouls because you’re not playing enough minutes for you to foul out, but 2 fouls per 13 minutes is a lot.
Before we send him off to the NBA he’s had some recent ‘duds’. They coincided with the losing streak in December coupled with the win against NCS. 3 points total in those three games. Those three games are his only games in which he’s scored less than 6 points.
I hope he stays obviously. I also hoped Grady and Johnny would have stayed as well and that didn’t go so well. Pay the man so we see him here another year or three!
