Will we be Better or Worse next year?

Coron has been huge for us this season, but its not like it was expected for him to have this much of an impact. I could be wrong, but I think I remember that a lot of posters were doubting his ability to be able to get a shot off in ACC play.

Which would explain why most people thought we would finish outside the KP top 100.

RC has been killing it the last few days.

According to basketball reference Coron's win share for this year overall is 1.9.

Do you think that Coron and Devin have had the same impact on our success this year?

 

[PhDeac]

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting win shares. I think Devin may have more impact on success while also having more impact on failure. Perhaps it would make more sense broken into win shares and loss shares. Devin is more important to the team overall. Coron provides an added boost to win close games.

"Negative win shares" or "loss shares" don't exist.

They do to an extent: http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2014_advanced.html

Sure they do. You have a 3.2 loss share on OGBoards.


Boom. Roasted.

Not in the true sense of the word. Negative win shares are only "awarded" for exceptionally poor performance. A player like Devin or Coron will never be given negative win shares, so to Ph's question above, Devin's "impact on failure" wouldn't take away from his win share rating.
