Crunchy Numbers
Our weekly roundup of local team's statistical highs and lows.
First of all, a disclaimer: I wrote the bulk of this post during last night's games. I have updated the records and the rankings in the two tables to reflect those results.
The team and individual performance statistics, however, remain just based on results through Tuesday.
Also, a reminder that the Schyulkill 16 teamsheet table is arranged in the order of the most recent Schuylkill 16 poll.
- The Dragons have the 23rd-ranked defensive efficiency in the nation, but the 230th-ranked offensive efficiency.
- Despite playing in a limited role (defined as 12 to 16 percent of team possessions used), Frantz Massenat has the 96th-best individual free throw rate in the nation.
- The Explorers rank 76th nationally in three-point shooting percentage, but 268th in ratio of free throw attempts to field goal attempts.
- Aaric Murray ranks 66th nationally in individual block percentage.
- The Quakers' defense ranks 80th in offensive rebounding percenage given up, but their offense ranks 336th in offensive rebounding percentage obtained.
- Jack Eggleston ranks 12th nationally in percentage of possible minutes played.
- The Hawks' defense ranks 11th in block percentage, but 310th in turnover percentage forced.
- C.J. Aiken is now up to No. 3 in the nation in individual block percentage.
- The Owls are very good in a lot of statistical categories, and not very bad in any. So I will highlight two good ones. The offense ranks 27th-best in turnover percentage committed, and the defense ranks 24th-best in effective field goal percentage given up.
- Khalif Wyatt is No. 27 in the nation in individual steal percentage.
- The Wildcats have the 11th-best three-point defense in the country, despite the fact that Jeremy Hazell has gone off yet again as I write this. But the Wildcats' defense also is ranked a lowly 259th in turnover percentage forced, which may account for why Hazell has had the ball so much.
- Mouphtaou Yarou ranks 63rd in the nation in individual offensive rebounding percentage.
