Whoa, we have a first year who’s playing? That’s hilarious and awesome too!
Edit: actually it’s not funny at all. He shoulda redshirted.
Here you go, fresh redshirt content
I don’t want redshirt content. Redshirts are to be seen, not heard. I just want my redshirts to show up awesome next year.
I honestly believe that Isaac T. Is better than Filipowski right now.
RIP Billy Packer.
Scrolling through college hoops twitter this morning has been quite a ride. Billy Packer and Brevin Galloway. Yikes
On the serious point, loved packer back in the day. Always enjoyed the contrast of Packers call on Capels game winner (horrible defense!) vs Vitale’s (what a shot!). Guess who I liked more… (this was back when ESPN and Raycom would both do certain ACC games)
On Galloway, I guess I don’t really have a comment, tbh.
I liked Packer. Never short on opinions which rubbed some the wrong way, but he always gave analysis of the game that helped the viewer understand nuance and strategy of what they were watching. Many of today’s announcers are more hype-man than analyst, and for some it’s like you’re watching a basketball game while listening to a random podcast that’s only loosely related.
Just catching up and seeing the news about Packer. Sad for sure he’s definitely one of the voices of my childhood and in some ways helped shape my fandom.
Sad indeed. I spent a lot of time sailing with the Pilot, Jim Thacker, and Billy Packer.
Serious question: Is Leaky Black a great defender?
He gets steals, but I don’t think he’s elite? I think he gets a little bump from the fact that he does practically nothing on offense, so people think he must be really good at defense to get as much PT as he does. FWIW, the Bayesian ratings that Evan Miya does has him at #66 as a defender (Reece at #43 for reference).
Not gonna pretend I watch Leaky that closely, but my impression has always been that’s he’s in the Dunn mold. He’s versatile and long and athletic and gives UNC some lineup versatility. But I can’t really vouch for how good he is other than my vague recollections of him playing against us.
Leaky is #1 in the ACC and 9th nationally in Box DBPR.
Reece is #1 in the ACC and 43rd nationally in DBPR
Can you explain box vs regular DBPR? (I did try to google first, didn’t track down an answer.)
OBPR: Offensive Bayesian Performance Rating reflects the offensive value a player brings to his team when he is on the court. This rating incorporates a player’s individual efficiency stats and on-court play-by-play impact, and also accounts for the offensive strength of other teammates on the floor with him, along with the defensive strength of the opponent’s players on the floor. OBPR is interpreted as the number of offensive points per 100 possessions above D1 average expected by the player’s team if the player were on the court with 9 other average players. A higher rating is better.
DBPR: Defensive Bayesian Performance Rating reflects the defensive value a player brings to his team when he is on the court. This rating incorporates a player’s individual efficiency stats and on-court play-by-play impact, and also accounts for the defensive strength of other teammates on the floor with him, along with the offensive strength of the opponent’s players on the floor. DBPR is interpreted as the number of defensive points per 100 possessions better than (below) D1 average expected to be allowed by the player’s team if the player were on the court with 9 other average players. A higher rating is better.
BPR: Bayesian Performance Rating is the sum of a player’s OBPR and DBPR. This rating is the ultimate measure of a player’s overall value to his team when he is on the floor. BPR is interpreted as the number of points per 100 possessions better than the opponent the player’s team is expected to be if the player were on the court with 9 other average players. A higher rating is better.
Change: Improvement in BPR over the last 30 days.
Off Poss: Number of meaningful offensive possessions played.
Def Poss: Number of meaningful defensive possessions played.
Box OBPR: Box Offensive Bayesian Performance Rating is an estimate of a player’s offensive value, based only on his individual stats. This serves as a prior starting point when calculating OBPR.
Box DBPR: Box Defensive Bayesian Performance Rating is an estimate of a player’s defensive value, based only on his individual stats. This serves as a prior starting point when calculating DBPR.
Box BPR: Box Bayesian Performance Rating is the sum of a player’s Box OBPR and Box DBPR. This rating is an estimate of a player’s overall value, based only on his individual stats.
Adj Team Off Eff: Team offensive efficiency (points scored per 100 possessions) with player on the court, adjusted for strength of opponent players faced. A higher value is better.
Adj Team Def Eff: Team defensive efficiency (points allowed by opponent per 100 possessions) with player on the court, adjusted for strength of opponent players faced. A lower value is better.
Adj Team Eff Margin: Difference between adjusted team offensive and adjusted defensive efficiency with player on the court. A higher value is better.
+/-: Number of points scored for the player’s team with him on the court, minus the number of points scored by the opponent with him on the court.
