I'm a fan of Green and I think he will be a decent reserve for us throughout his career at Wake. He hustles, and plays decent defense. Just needs to add some weight to his frame! A year in the weight room would have been huge for him.
Depressing poll.
It would be very hard to say it's not Ty to this point, which is insane.
He's now played in 24% of our team's minutes (at more than 20 min per game over his 8), which gets him out of the insignificant sample size space, but not a large enough sample size to qualify for categories nationally (which only 6 of our players have to date). In that time Ty:
- Has our top offensive rating (118.4), ahead of even CJ (111.6) and Travis (106.6). This is while taking 16% of our shots while in the game, a similar rate to Chase, and higher rate than Carson, Fields, or Green.
- Is our best offensive and defensive rebounder by % of boards grabbed, just ahead of Carson (19.2% to Carson's 18.4%) on D, and way ahead of everyone (13.1%, Mckie 2nd at 7.6%, Green at 8.0% in very little time) on O.
- Leads the team in blocked shot %, at 12.7%. That is ahead of Carson's 11.8%, and Carson is 16th in the country in Blk%.
- He also commits at team low of just 1.6 fouls per 40 minutes, while leading the team in block% and rebounding%. I actually wish he'd be a little more physical and thus foul a little more, but it's not like he's just hacking people to get his numbers.
Yeah he has a long way to go, but it's tough to argue with his play THIS YEAR making him the third best player on our team. I just wish we would have seen this in prior years so that his progression would have made him even better this year.
