[QUOTE="ILLHangOut, post: 1283036, member: 176496"] I agree. I think his usage rate has been far too high for his ability, so when he hit the slump he just killed our team efficiency. I'm not trying to knock him, but IMO he was forcing far too much, and just wasted possessions in games that were close. During conference play he has the lowest efficiency rating of the regular rotation which just means that statistically not enough good things happen when he is in, and I think that's because he was forcing things. I very much appreciate that he seems to be picking his spots now, and isn't attempting to drive to the basket. If he keeps playing within his abilities I think we have a much much higher ceiling because he can be a real asset. And here is the excerpt on PER just so it doesn't seem like I'm bashing him; it's just what the numbers show. [I]"The PER sums up all a player's positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player's performance."[/I] [URL]http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/per.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/illinois/2017.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
