Is this anything: Player splits for W/L's (WTF FOURNIER?) 

Post#1 » by BadHombre » Sun Jan 20, 2019 12:13 am

I was looking through splits for W/L's amongst players on our team. Overall, most players are posting very similar numbers, albeit with improved efficiency on their shots. 3 players stood out with more dramatic differences in their numbers between W's and L's.

AG W's: 18.8ppg (52% / 46% / 80%)
AG L's: 13.6ppg (40% / 29% / 67%)

VUC W's: 22.5ppg (55% / 39% / 76%), 3.7ftas
VUC L's: 18.3ppg (49% / 38% / 77%), 2.1ftas

FOURNIER W's: 13.6ppg (42% / 27% / 76%)
FOURNIER L's: 16.0ppg (44% / 39% / 80%)


WTF FOURNIER?! I find it hilarious that Fournier's good games actually come at the expense of wins. I don't think I've seen that before, it just seems counter intuitive.

Otherwise, this team lives and dies by Vuc and AG. I don't think it's a matter of AG needing to sustain that ridiculous level of efficiency (but it's impressive he's done that over 18 games already. For almost half of this season, he's been in elite efficiency territory), just seeing him find a more consistent middle point between his highs and lows should help to stabilise the team.

Vuc needs to get to the line more. I don't have a shot breakdown for the W's and L's, so I'm not sure where the dip in 2pt efficiency is coming from, but fix that too.

But back to Evan.... is this anything??

Hero ball. When we don't pass the ball we lose.

Another reason why we don't give up AG. The type of player he is can lead to wins when he is a focus point. Vooch and Evan are good players, and Vooch has been great at times, but even when they're great, it doesn't lead to a playoff team let alone a contender.

I was gonna point this out quite a few games ago, glad you dug deeper. It was like, most games when we were up by halftime or something, Fournier usually had 0-5 points so it made really no difference or not (at least offensively) how was game was going, plus the sweater vests on a broader scale show that in wins, he's usually not having the best game on the team.
