and then there was post # 53. I wonder if the %'s were for real???

 

Anyone who knows me personally, knows my source and that I have pretty easy access to those stats. :sssh::thumb:

I believe the first few on this thread including the guy who started the thread picked the Faulkners and the way I saw it everybody else got upset over that.

Two best guard combo's I've seen are Jackson-Guyn and the Faulkner twins. And I've seen most of the combos listed.

 

Guyn and Jackson have been upstaged already. They lost to Holmes' backcourt. Next.

I say good luck to all of them to. The Faulkners have already proven themselves and both are already signed for a college career. This will be my last post on this also:banana::thumb::walk::dancingpa

 

Good luck to all of the players being mentioned in this thread. Hopefully all at some point or another will have a chance to prove themselves on the big stage in March.

 

And with that, I'll let this be my last post on this issue.

If you ask a poster to tell us why or refute it and provide better players, that's considered being upset?

Somehow I knew it wouldn't come to pass!:lol:

This argument is like arguing who makes the best pizza. Nothing but opinion, no more,,,no less.

BTW, you might want to re-check my post. I never once said such a thing that you bolded in your initial quote. :sssh:

Do you really want me to restore it?

3pt FG- 16-19 (84%)

2 pt FG- 10-15 (67%)

Combined- 26-34 (77%)

 

One of the biggest reasons Riley's percentages are so high is because he has unreal basketball I.Q. The kid very rarely takes a bad shot.

Those stats are unreal but I'd caution you to look at more than stats. I've never watched the Faulkners so I can't comment on their ability. However, anytime you're dealing with a low number of shots its tough to use that stat alone as a determining factor.

 

My guess is that when you're playing EC your #1, #2, and #3 goal is to shut down the Faulkners. That's not the case with Riley. He benefits greatly from defenses having to worry about the other 4 and gets a lot of open shots. Huge props to him for knocking them down. As I said, that's an unreal stat. The Faulkners , on the other hand, are THE focus of the other team's defense which will add a level of difficulty to their ability to score that Riley doesn't face. Its not Riley's fault obviously. He's fortunate and Holmes is fortunate to have him ready to knock down shots.

Now if someone else in the state has better stats than that, I'll gladly call them a better guard than Riley and better shooter.

 

Faulkners put up that many shots in a half, or so it seems. Seriously folks there are alot of good players around the state and while all these comparisons are just opinion, I think we should wait for the season to end and then we can compare the stats. I dont believe Riley can keep that high of number over the long haul.

FWIW Riley has shot over 30 shots in a game 6 times, according to Eta

Did I miss that? and if I did, were 80+% of those made as well?
