Baugh out-played him in every stat line except assists with 12 fewer minutes. LQ had more minutes than even Precious. I'm still scratching my head over 36 minutes with with less points, less rebounds and more turnovers than Baugh at 4-1. Baugh may get a little wild at times but LQ played out of control for most of the night and was rewarded with the most playing time. Baugh has by far the quickest moves on the floor, matched only by Boogie, if that. Baugh's ceiling is much higher than anyone's, again with the exception of Boogie who has steadily become what everyone expected early on.
AGAIN, Harris and Alo should never be played in tandem and I'm not sure they should ever see any minutes except mop-up and for quick breathers. At this point in their careers they should be showing marked improvement and neither are, in fact I think they've gone backwards. Hell, I'd play Junior over them if nothing else just for his size. And I hate saying this because I was excited when we signed them both. At one point I saw them both as the second coming of Andre Turner. Maybe they'll eventually develop but I'm not so sure.
Baugh seems to be either good or bad. ALo is more even.
Last 6 games Offensive rating ALo vs. Baugh (Above 100 is above average):
Baugh: 29, 42, 70, 103, 130, 205
ALo: 23, 79, 100, 112, 133, 173
Interesting too that Kenpom adds a box score MVP to the box score. The criteria is that the each player is evaluated for efficiency using
Hollinger's game score formula with 3 extra points given for being on the winning team. Lomax was selected MVP for 2 games: UConn (at Memphis) and USF (at Memphis). In those 6 games Lester was MVP of the Temple game and Precious for the ECU game.
Lester is up and down with Boogie has been fairly consistent:
Lester: 59, 72, 88, 120, 125, 153
Boogie: 80, 95, 108, 122, 130, 136
Offensive rating calculation:
100*PP/(FGA+0.44*FTA+TO)
Where PP=Points Produced, FGA=Field-Goal Attempts, FTA=Free-Throw Attempts
