Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

interesting enough according to espn tuttle has 37 to's, wes 22, and deon 21.

Oh great. Now I have to consider facts as I express my opinions. Thanks a lot.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

i thought the same thing too. but even though tuttle has played many more minutes, i would say there is no way he had the ball in his hands more then deon much if any at all. tuttle turns the ball over a lot. probably his one real weakness.

Seth will often be the focus of the defense though. I'm sure he has spent more time getting double teamed. And yes as Jake seemed to be pointing out against VCU Seth needs to make better decisions.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

We need a new stat about how many PN posters can incessantly gripe and moan about one player.

It's a PN tradition:

Brooks McKowen (03-07)
Kwadzo Ahelegbe (07-10)
Jake Koch (10-13)
Deon Mitchell (13-15)
??? (15-...)

You need to replace Kwadzo with Eggs.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

No I would say that Kwadzo, is the most complained about player in the history of this board, probably only trails Bill Salmon and Lakes overall.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

What are you talking about? Kwadzo is regarded my many as the best pg in UNI history.

I'd disagree with Kwadzo. And Bohannon has to at least be tied with Deon the previous 2 years.

I completely agree, but there are a ton of people on here that did nothing but whine and complain about his game.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

deon is worse than kwadzo. kwadzo came along well his last 2 years. mitchell has done nothing but regress (much like a certain football player).

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Who is the last Panther PG to not get unnecessarily ripped on this website? I don't remember Kwadzo getting ripped a lot and thought he was an amazing player, but maybe I have forgotten how bad it was.

This is dead-on, though an argument could be made for Egleseder and Kwadzo being tied.

I totally agree, he was. However, he was also one of the few legit threats to drive and create his own shot that those teams had. As a result, he ended up with the ball a lot at the end of the shot clock, taking off balance, contested attempts that may or may not have gone in. IMO, he got a lot of unwarranted criticism because of this, although his game really took a step up in his last two years. Anthony James was a dribble/drive threat too, but Kwazdo was the man with no shot clock time on those teams.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Here are Deon's stats for the year. According to these numbers, he is playing at a level that his stats say do not belong. He has been overmatched. It is well past time that Wes started & Wyatt & others cut into Deon's minutes.
FG% - 28%
3% - 18%
Ass-turnover ratio - 1 to 1

What you're calling for has already occurred. Deon has only played 53.3% of possible minutes this year compared to 68.9% last year and 65.6% his sophomore year.

Other statistical items for Deon haters to munch on. So far this year Deon has the:

- highest Steals % of his career (measure of steals per possession played)
- lowest Fouls Committed per 40 minutes of his career
- highest Fouls Drawn per 40 minutes of his career

Argh. More facts to mess up my preconceived ideas.

Love it, hahaha!! Life is a real son of a gun!

[sarcasm] My favorite part about statistics is how they determine future player performance. You know how the computer looks at Deon's field goal percentage this season and uses it to calculate whether his next layup goes in. [/sarcasm]
