In response to Stuart Suss
I was trying to have that discussion. As I said,
the All-Ivy second team was generally more highly rated
on these numbers than the first. Some of that, as you
pointed out, reflects a bias for inside players, or at least strong rebounders (Wright). It also struck me, however, that role
players like Friberg and Martz score better than their teams' stars.
you had cautioned that the numbers are better in comparing players
at the same position. Perhaps, I would add, if they play similar roles
in terms of offensive burden. On that basis, comparing Llewellyn,
Dingle and Swain ( and perhaps Lilly) by these metrics does tell us something about their overall effectiveness.
I am surprised Swain does not score higher, and the low ranking of Yale players overall is the biggest puzzle to me.
