[QUOTE="der-k, post: 484011, member: 3790"] Quick note on comparing Cole and Wright's stats from last year - a higher percentage of Wright's minutes (in particular, his more successful minutes) were against non-conference (read: lower quality) competition. In conference, they had near identical rebounding averages (and, to my eye, Cole was slightly better at boxing out - I haven't seen any QoC adjusted +/- numbers for them though), Cole had more assists and less turnovers, hit more shots despite taking less of them, and so on. He was clearly better. (Neither was great - Cole was an adequate low usage fill in, but interesting ... Wright was, to be blunt, an athletic trainwreck in conference play ... shooting 25% from the field - and putting up subpar rebounding numbers (as did Cole) - and having twice as many turnovers as assists - and still posting the third highest usage rate on the team (behind Okogie and Tadric - yes, higher than JA and the ghost of Ben Lammers) ... oh man, I'd forgotten how frankly out of place he was and now I'm sad. I like this kid!) Best thing for Moses at this point is to build up confidence against second units which are maybe a bit less experienced and bulky. (I say this without seeing the progress any of these guys have made over the summer, outside of one game against a hopeless overmatched FIT team.) [/QUOTE]
