Anybody here watch or analyze his guy's stats with an eye to his NBA potential?

In other words, Jesse is probably being punished for being a smart, unselfish basketball player.
Andris Biedrins is also a smart, unselfish player. That is why he has a 6% USG rate. In fact, I would be an even more smart and unselfish NBA player by having a 0% USG rate! Some NBA team better sign me up fast. EvanZanity.

I'll take the 10 hours it'll take me to compile and crunch all the numbers right before the NCAA tourney - I'll let you know how he pans out in my system. I can't imagine he'll be ranked anywhere #2 overall after SoS, pace, etc are part of the equation.
His below average steal and block rates aren't a good sign for NBA potential. The rebound rate is nice. I assume he doesn't have a very big free throw rate, which is also not a good sign. I could look it up - but I'm at work.
Lin had a GREAT steals/block rate in college, a good rebound rate - and he drew fouls and got to the line a ton. Those were the best signs statistically of his pro "potential".

Sanders' draft express stats:

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pla ... ers-1.html . I have no idea what a college guard's free throw rate should be like, but .7 seems high. Draft Express says the top NBA point guard with 15+ minutes a game is Stuckey at .58.

Sanders is at 6.3 which is right about where Kidd-Gilchrist and Le'Bryan Nash are.

Out of 9 FGA, which is the lowest of anyone on the page except for the very last guy.
