Blind Resume | Shooting Guard-3/12/10
By Paul Gotham
Okay, connoisseurs of all that is basketball, let us take the time and pour over some numbers. Below you will find raw statistics. The identities of these players are removed to avoid any possible allegiances or biases. Please avoid guessing or suggesting the players indicated by the statistics. Let’s discuss the possible value these players bring to their teams and to any team.
Today, we have a pair of shooting guards that square off a little later. What do you think?
Player A

Player B. With a better team SOS and more points per game, he’s my clear-cut choice. I want offense and he contributes more assists, rebounds, and takes more shots. He understands his role and contributes in a significant way. He has a much higher FT%age and a shooting guard should be getting himself to the line frequently. Based on his FPG I would question his defense, but again, that is not his role, and Player A doesn’t fare much better in that category anyway. Player A not only pales in comparison statistically, but does so against weaker competition.
What’s the catch, Casey? B is far superior to A … why is there even a question?? I note that you didn’t say anything about steals, but doubt that would close the gap much.
I’m wondering the same thing, lol. I would easily take #2 and it’s not even close.
No catch. What I was trying to do, did not work. I wanted to see if anyone would give player A credit for the advantage behind the arc. If Marquette beat GU yesterday, it could made for a conversation today. Again, it didn’t work.
Player A: Darius Johnson-Odom Marquette
Player B: Austin Freeman Georgetown
Johnson-Odom has had some big games of late. He went 5 of 7 from behind the arc in Thursday’s game against Villanova.
