Some fun facts about WF new recruit Ian Dubose and this past season at Houston Baptist:
HBU was #342 (out of 353 teams). They played at a lightning fast tempo -- 76 possessions a game; #2 in the nation; so, their offensive stats will be inflated because they have more offensive possessions than most teams. HBU was a top half of the country offensive team #175, but they are the 2nd to worst defensive team in the nation with an adjusted defensive efficiency rate of 122.3. HBU played 29 games and gave up 100 points or more 11 times, and 90 or more points 19 times.
DuBose has good size at 6-4 210. He shot 78% from the line, and was one of the best in the country at drawing fouls (6.2 fouls drawn per 40 minutes). DuBose got to the line 200 times this past season in just 29 games. That is a ton of FTs. Last year, WF got to the line more than any other ACC team, and for the Deacs, no one shot more than 180 FTs (Sarr). DuBose is also a decent rebounder for a guard as he had 10 or more 8 times, and averaged 7.8 rebounds a game (again the stat is somewhat inflated due to the number of possessions in HBU games). DuBose finished the season scoring in double figures in 27 straight games, and while the competition was generally weak DuBose did score 20 against Texas Tech (a great defensive team), 16 against Michigan and 18 against Dayton (all in big losses). Finally, DuBose had an epic game against Central Arkansas (a 111-107 HBU win): 44 points on 23 total shots; 11 boards.
DuBose won't come close to his 19 ppg, 7 rpg and 4 apg at HBU, but he does have some offensive skills (really like his FT rate), and he has the size to defend the guard spot (even if he hasn't shown the defensive skills to date). With Neath, Watson, Dubose, Chaundee, the Deacs have some versatility and scoring skills in the backcourt next year.
