As simple as it sounds a lot of it is effort that goes with constant execution and as TB says continuous. If guys arent getting the same things over and over or are making the same mistakes over and over you arent gonna get the same chance in games.
I do not think its based on drills. I do think its nased on applying those drills to scrimmage situations etc. Guys like Carson and Taine and Igor need to figure out what they can bring to force TB to play them. Carson coming in and knocking down two at UNC would have kept him in longer had he not thrown the one pass to UNC. Taine always looks like he is playing as hard as he can but does that always translate into smart productivity. I think Igor is kind of so talented it may look like hes not playing as hard as he could. Malachi seems the most sure, consistently, about what he can add in spurts when called on.
Good practice week is interesting notion and not being there I have no clue. I think this time of year things can get sluggish in practice and you just wanna prepare for the next game as players.
If I were talking to guys looking for time I would tell them every practice is your game now. And what can come from that can really surprise you as a player.
I was told early if you can shoot and make threes and take care of the ball and be solid on D (not Cornell Parker) you will play. It took my stubborn ass some time to quit trying to be Sherman Douglas and knocking down threes and when you come in dont let them have a reason to take you out
Edit: this was a terrible answer to the real question but I liked writing it and believe every word ha
Turnover Ratio Formula =(Turnovers)100)/ [(Field Goal Attempts)+(Free Throw Attempts0.44)+(Assists)+(Turnovers)]
So itâs calculated based on all plays a player finishes with an assist, a shot attempt, FT attempts, or turnovers.
Meaning in 2019 Kihei when finishing a possession - turned it over 18.1% of the time.
In context our other ball handlers turnover rate that year were:
Guy: 9.9%
Hunter 10.0%
Jerome 11.9%
Key 12.1%
Even Mamadi and Jay were elite: 12.2% and 13.4%
A better measure perhaps might be something like (turnovers in the frontcourt)/(time possessing the ball in the frontcourt)^
But that would require someone to watch and keep track of all the possession time rather than relying on box scores.
^ I suggest omitting backcourt time because it would inflate the frequent times when guards dribble the ball up court without being guarded. Press coverage would need its own category.
I think itâs fair to say that Bennett has an idea of whatâs looking for and locks in to that earlier with players than he used to. Maybe in earlier years he was trying to figure that out, but I think he was more flexible with playing younger players and having a deeper rotation. We played 5 freshmen in 2012-13 (Brogdon and Gill were redshirting). Justin Anderson played 841 minutes; Evan Nolte 694; Mike Tobey 416; Teven Jones 405 minutes. 9 guys played more than 400 minutes, and a 10th (Taylor Barnette) played 228 min.
Unless things change a lot, Taine and Igor are projected for well under 200 minutes this year as the #8 and 9 guys. I think youâll find similar depth on other teams earlier in Bennettâs tenure.
I wonât say Bennett plays favorites in some puerile fashion, but I think he knows what he is looking for and locks in to that moreso than before. I also think itâs not evident to many of us why some play and some donât, even having watched enough performances. I can only hope that the players understand why and that they accept that they need to improve.
I think it would be a great question for a former player in a LRA podcast.
True about Gardner vs. Beekman in all games. But he is worse in ACC games as the eye test confirms once he had to play against true high level D1 size and talent every game.
In ACC - Gardner is 12.9% - still good to Reeceâs 12.5% - ridiculously good for how much he handles it.
Gardnerâs issue in ACC play is a lot of his shots in ACC may as well be turnovers.
His Effective FG rate is 43.5% - by far worst among rotation guys.
Here are the teamâs EFG% individually - Iâll let yâall guess whoâs Hoo?

Rumor going around that @brogdonfanpage and @hoopsandhoos are forming an intramural squad. Thatâs the talent I want to evaluate. Gonna need game streams to see who is really worthy of the Boy Wonder title.
Do what I did when I was in college. Get 2-3 of the club basketball players to join your team along with 2-3 of the best AFC daily regulars to join your team and hope you donât run into the manager team or the team with Mamadi Dianie as a grad student on their team.
You wonât play at all but youâll get a shirt one out of eight cracks at it.
We lost to the football team intramural basketball team. Some wide receiver that was Mr. Basketball in Ohio and a 300 lb lineman that could do a backflip beat the living daylights out of us.
