[QUOTE="Tevo, post: 1253396, member: 185365"] Correct me if I'm wrong, but having a red box for a certain stat doesn't necessarily mean "bad". For example, if a guy like Mike Thorne is bright red in 3PA. That's not a bad thing -- we don't want him attempting 3 pointers. Tate being red in 2PA isn't necessarily bad either, if he is not a great shooter we don't want him taking a lot of shots. Of course, you have to also know that in fact he ISN'T a good shooter and we'd like him to be a lot better, but the simple stat of how many shots has he attempted when compared to the "average" player in the Big Ten isn't bad just because it's below average. At the same time, I see Leron is bright red with a 0.0 for blocks. You'd like a starting forward to at least occasionally get a blocked shot. That's part of being in good position and being able to help. Then again, if the coaches tell him to stay down, stay mobile, don't go for the blocks, then that bright red isn't as bad as it might normally seem. [/QUOTE]
