Why is this guy so good? Topic

http://whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=11889&pid=1431287

Usually people make threads asking why their players suck so much well I'm going the opposite. I have a guy on my Hampton team who for a reason I can't figure out is a great player. His rating are solid for a D1 SG but they are by no means great and yet he's averaging 18 points a game while shooting over 50% from the field and just under 40% from 3 against and turns it over only 1.8 times per game agianst the 8th toughest schedule. I've played 3 teams that are locks for the NT and in those games he combined to go 19-40 from the field and averaged 15 points against them. I look at some teams I've played who have much better SGs and they don't perform anywhere near as good as this guy. Does anybody have an explanation for why he's done so well? It's also just not this season it's been pretty much his whole career with exception to his freshman season.

Everybody has 98 speed in D1. And pirates if he's getting traded he's going to Fitchburgh St., lol.

? Higher LP and rebounding gives him easy shots to go along with his Per? I know they said they were going to make LP in guards mean something in the next update, maybe they already snuck that change in. He is decent, maybe you have a lot of other threats and teams aren't gameplanning to stop him still, like you have 3-4 monster inside guys that teams still try to shut down. I have no answers but just throwing things out there that may explain it.

Low Post means nothing for a guard still

Most definitely and probably even though he's not great for D-1 overall, he may be dominate since the conference you're in is low tier D-1, where they play 16-19 of their games.

The 8 games is a small sample size, but the 2 years and 8 games is a result of what I had mentioned above.

I was thinking this could be the reason too. And thewizard I agree that he should dominate in conference but now after 4 games against definite tournament teams he's 24-50 from the field and averaging 14.5 points. Down from his overall #s but still better then it would appear he should do against the type of talent he faced.
