Yes, TJ's defense is limited. But my bet is his offense spikes up > 90% with

teammates who can shoot. If Harward plays this season, he'll have a big who can catch.

His defensive synergy has to improve enve more if he expects to play seriously after next year. If anyone is equipped to help him with that, Pope and Company can.

Childs has no shot at NBA and former coaches should have used stats to show him

52Cougar

Childs knows he's not going to play in the NBA.

kccougar

5/22/19 4:00pm

He should know his stats hurt his chances in Europe and elsewhere

52Cougar

5/22/19 4:02pm

HE reportedly had a 6 figure deal somewhere last season

If true, then it may be a good plan to leave early.

Benfica1

5/22/19 5:11pm

that's an interesting assertion, especially when stated dogmatically

SCKIN

5/22/19 4:44pm

because that's how you get the best European contract.

HarlemCoug

5/22/19 10:28pm

interesting. And you learned this where?

SCKIN

5/22/19 11:13pm

Because he's on no one's top 100 NBA prospects lists or mock draft results

Indy Coug

I'm not questioning whether Yoeli will be in the NBA, it's fairly clear he won't

SCKIN

well duh. It is not like NBA general managers know anything

pappabear246

5/23/19 1:57pm

No NBA Combine invite, and only 2 team workouts should tell him not this year.

TJ has been playing out of position, hopefully Pope lets him play at the point and create

I don't think TJ's 3-point % was greater when he played 1

52Cougar

5/22/19 4:07pm

Either way he was in the 91st percentile in ppp.

thebruce

TJ played a lot of PG last year.

thebruce

5/22/19 4:07pm

TJ ppp was 1.063 PPP which puts him in the 91st percentile. TJ is fine. There

Thanks. Where is a link for PPP for college?

52Cougar

TJ was good last year

I'mBatman

5/22/19 5:08pm

His 2pt% was actually 55%

PHXSUNS31

TJ needs to get a similar shot selection around the hoop

puntersarepeople

5/22/19 4:33pm

Like Tyler had.

lightmann

5/22/19 4:37pm

Tyler's shot selection was about as bad as possible for advanced analytics. He was just that good

Isn't that referring to Yoeli?

thebruce

5/23/19 11:23am

No. Yo has good hands. i could have explained that better.

roseyscenario

5/23/19 1:47pm

1. Yoeli doesn't think he's playing in the NBA. 2. The coaches are smart enough to know that TJ

MaxxPower

5/22/19 5:05pm

His logic is limited to showing how effective a player is in their role

puntersarepeople

5/22/19 5:06pm

Possibly, Yoeli needs the $.

rockyrd

5/22/19 5:55pm

if that's true, he should come back, improve his europe stock. Get more $$$

archie

5/22/19 10:28pm

Rose wasn't very interested in PPS, thus Childs took low quality

Plato

5/22/19 6:23pm

Jake Toolson shot 44.8% from 3 and 53.7 from 2 this past year. . .

midtowncoug

5/22/19 7:03pm

How do we know they didn't?

SUAVO

5/22/19 9:11pm

TJ is likely best PG in WCC. He's extremely efficient. Shot > 40% as a freshman

Epileptic Beagle

5/22/19 10:31pm

It's unfortunate for TJ that he has to follow in the footsteps of Marty & Tyler.

Wingnut

5/22/19 10:46pm

I think he is better than Tyler

Remigius

5/22/19 10:54pm

TJ is horrible.

5/22/19 11:19pm

Tj is horrible??? 🤨

gmoney7

5/22/19 11:42pm

He makes a lot of dumb/bad turnovers too.

5/23/19 12:12am

What statistic has TJ's defense in the 29th percentile? I think you are getting

BYUheaven

5/23/19 12:42am

TJ’s offensive stats are misleading.

5/23/19 8:58am

TJ's offensive rating was 117.3, which is nationally 31st best of people with at least 24% of possessions used

Indy Coug

This post is impressive

Schultz is back

did he say that prior to playing BYU? Mark is a very respectful, kind man...

icecougar

5/23/19 11:19am

Call me a homer but I think TJ is one of the best PGs in the west.

thebruce

5/23/19 11:25am

Totally. I would take TJ over most of the returning PG's...

icecougar

5/23/19 11:30am

I guess I'm taking it a step further and saying I think he's one of the best

thebruce

5/23/19 2:24pm

Hard to see how TJ doesn't have his best year. Better shooters among teammates

No worries brother. I'm just offering a different perspective.

And the player most worth paying to watch was TJ, by a wide margin. We have

Let's look at the Advanced stats then, shall we. TJ ranks 1701 out of the 2320

PPP is not a good Individual Defense Statistic

5/25/19 1:47pm

This defensive rating is not very good either, no offense

kimdaddy35

5/28/19 11:46am

Defense is extremely hard to measure correctly by metrics

thebruce

5/28/19 11:51am

I agree 100%. You have to use a bunch of metrics, the eye test

kimdaddy35

This is a really bad take. One you are welcomed to have, but a really bad one

Epileptic Beagle

Opposite is true. Stats understate his play. Teammates can't shoot, causing him

Hest better than Tyler IMO

thebruce

Wingnut

But mostly he's trashed gratuitously and constantly by our friend 52Cougar

bigjohn

Maybe he left because he simply didn't want to be at BYU anymore.

It drives more 3s at the cost of mid range shots. But analytics consider more
