Obviously was a JUCO or transfer. Maybe he played a combo defense somewhere, or maybe one is HS, one is his first school, and one is from CMHMS. Not too hard to fathom... Good example of a guy with a high overall who isn't an incredible player, though. At least offensively. He can guard anybody in D3... And it's not like he can't score, but his offensive numbers are nothing to write home about and it doesn't particularly surprise me...
not... sure... if.... serious...
I'm completely serious jones... Look at his line. Regardless of schedule, scoring 14.9 PPG on 44/39% shooting with 2.7 assists and 1.7 turnovers per game isn't the kind of out-of-this-world scoring that people who focus heavily on overalls might expect from a D3 player over 700. Your center, who is a 573 overall, has had a more efficient offensive season. And I'm pretty sure that given your choice, with his athleticism and speed, you would have preferred him to have his BH and Per swapped. Would probably make him a better scorer. Or if some of that Per went into LP. He wasn't an All-American, not even an Honorable Mention. This despite the fact that he's the 12th-highest overall-rated player in Knight and the highest rated PG. Which doesn't mean I wouldn't rather have him on my team than some of the guys who do get those awards... But remember narcotico's guard who won all the votes for best D3 player in the new engine a little while back? He was only in the 660s, but he blew your guy away. Overalls are misleading because of WE and durability and everybody theoretically knows that but we're still a ton of posts into a thread about an 800 overall and if that's what a new person sees coming into the forums for the first time and they don't see any mitigating posts it could be misleading...
ok, so now that i know you are serious, i will tell you why you're wrong.
you have to be KIDDING me with some of the terminology your'e using, they're all misleading stats. you're talking about AA / honorable mention? WHO CARES? it's a cosmetic award, i went 35-0 in phelan last season and i didn't have any AAs. no one cares about those stupid awards. the best teams will almost always be so balanced that they have distro set up so that everyone can score efficiently. this guy was my THIRD option. next year, he'll be the unquestioned #1, so he'll probably average 30 ppg because i won't have a great offensive team outside of him. also, he started the year with his IQ in the B range, and im not comfortable giving someone like that too many looks.
i can't believe you're talking about overalls with me, i know overalls are misleading, but john brown has his ratings in all the right places. are you serious? can't you look at him? the two most important ratings in this engine are ath and def-- he's elite in both. he's got great bh/per, solid passing, he's a tremendous ft shooter... AND he's going to get like 3 or 4 rebounds a game for a guard.. his WE is good and will help get him close-ish to his caps next year probably, after he improves a ton in the offseason.
wow, i can't believe i bothered to respond to that, but rest assured that if brown started the year with better IQs, or if i didn't have two other good offensive options, he would have scored 20 a game or something and you would ahve been impressed by those numbers. either way, he's not a lock to get to 800, but he probably will by my estimation, and if not he'll get damn close.
