In response to Stuart Suss
Thanks for all the work and the helpful admission that this data,
as all data, has limitations in drawing real world conclusions.
A few observations:
1) All 5 members of the second team All Ivy are in the top 15
here, including Gainey at 1, Wrighrt at 4 and Choh at 5.
Only two of the first teamer scored as high with Tosan at 3
and Kirkwood at 11. As you said, front court players will score better
in general on these metrics, and three guard made first team-
Llewellyn at 22, Dingle at 29 and Swain at 44.
2)Following your suggestion that pure point rating is a better basis for comparing playmaking efficiency, both Tosan and Llewellyn fare
much better than Dingle (which was the argument).
3). As a Princeton fan, I am happy to see our top 6 players in the top
25 here, but Yale fans could certainly question the predictive value of these metrics. Their best guys seem undervalued here.
4). In general, these metrics seem to favor a role player who does his
job and knows his limits over a player who tries to be a difference maker for his team. I am not sure what to do about that, but it is an observation.
