But Seriously it depends on what the other guys bring...

Nolley is a smooth shooter but he definitely needs help to score.

Cisse is a elite defensive player\rebounder but lacks offense...Looked for a big jump next year offensively.

Is the drop from Nolley to Minott, Camden or Davion greater than the drop from Cisse to Sam.

I'm not super high on Nolley though...He is a solid player
He scored 2-3 more points than everyone else...But he also shot 29% more shots than they did as well.

DJ? Come on. Nolley plays circles CONSISTENTLY around DJ.
Nolley was our only all-conference player. He was the NIT MVP.

Opinions differ...

If I had to choose I am picking DJ.

DJ Better rebounder...Better defender...Better facilitator...More Versatile (Especially on defense)

Nolley definitely a better scorer.

Now that is all of the physical tools...Now I am not sure DJ was a leader by example or vocally. But if DJ got serious definitely had much more upside.

Yes, opinions vary.
IMO the only thing DJ did noticeably better than Landers was rebound.
Landers is the better shooter, scorer, FT shooter and did just as much with assists and steals. And for us, scoring and shooting is pretty important. Penny can get the guys to play D and rebound.
Finally it seems pretty obvious that the chemistry was just better with Landers.
There's a reason Landers was 1st team all-AAC and the NIT MVP. There's also a reason when DJ's parents gave Penny an ultimatum between Landers and DJ being the offense focal point, DJ hit the portal.

DJ
+/- for the year 171
Offensive ppp .10425
Defensive ppp .8738

Nolley
+/- for the year 103
Offensive ppp 1.0176
Defensive ppp .9334

Do with that what you choose.

What are those stats and where did you get them? I've been looking for stats like these but didn't know where to look.

The one thing I didn't like about the DJ situation was giving the HC an ultimatum or telling Penny how he should be used (if that was truly the case). More concerned about the individual than the team. But I guess there is a lot of that going on nowdays.
