    Comparing that to a much higher percentage shooter, such as Q who has played 478 minutes with 219 attempted shots, you can see Q actually averages less shots per minute at .45. Why would a much worse shooter be attempting proportionally more shots?


    Even looking at some other teammates with much higher shooting percentages, he still attempts more shots per minute.
    Q - .45
    Holman - .44
    Nick - .37
    Ado - .17
    Datcher - .19

    Carter shoots more per minute but has a higher shooting percentage (.52).

    Only Peters and Wright have worse shooting percentages (this shows another problem we have in Peters with the high shot rate). I still believe in Peters as we know the talent is there, he's just a head case and COULD get it together. X doesn't pass the eye test for me. Sure he plays hard, but he's just not that talented comparatively.
    Peters - .60
    Wright - .35


    What do people see in X? I just don't understand.

    Edit: Made picture bigger, also I only included players with at least 100 minutes played.
    He has elite athleticism and he is 6-6. He plays hard. The question isn't is he All-SEC, but is he a better option than Carter, Wright, and Peters? I would have to say yes. He's 8th on the team in average minutes per game. This is wrong, imo. I agree that some of his stats are poor, but he also missed 3 games against some of the cupcakes. Also, he has dominated in practice at times. I just think if he got 30 minutes per game, we would see a lot more production and better quality play out of him.

    The reason he is 8th in minutes played is because of several factors. One he fouls to damn much. Stupid ass not picky fouls that shouldn’t ever happen and that puts him on the bench. Second, he throws up some 3 that has no chance to go in or blows a wind mill 360 dunk in a game that 2 pts is more important than him show boating. Third, he blows a defensive assignment that costs us pts. And every time he fouls somebody, he didn’t do it! And when he goes to the bench damn near every time he’s gonna act like a teenager that doesn’t get his way.
