[QUOTE="Deleted member 9739, post: 1457343"] As both a fan and former coach, I am always trying to analyze a team to figure out what is working and what is not. In watching the rotations these last few games, I got curious about a certain stat so I had to run some numbers. Here are our team leaders this season in points per minutes played: Georgi .465 Trent .459 Ayo .452 Andres .380 Tevian .372 Alan .368 Samba .329 Kipper .325 Aaron .302 Adonis .291 Damonte .167 Drew .133 Samson .087 Tyler .050 Zach .000 The last time I checked, in order to win a game you have to outscore the other team. At any given position, unless two players are significantly different in stopping the players on the other team from scoring, the one who is the most offensively productive should be playing. I know I'm not at practice every day, but from what I see on gameday I don't believe any of our players are exceptionally talented defenders. Think about that and the minutes we've seen players getting during this end-of-the-season skid.:unsure: [/QUOTE]
