Procrastinating a boring assignment at work today, thought it'd be interesting to see the difference in numbers from our core transfer class this year vs their previous destinations to see the Pope/UK effect:
Lamont Butler
- 2023-24: 27.5 mpg, 9.3 ppg, 3 apg, 2.6 rpg, 1.5 spg, 42% fg, 30% 3p, 14.3 PER
- 2024-25: 25,7 mpg, 11.1 ppg, 4.3 apg, 2.7 rpg, 1.6 spg, 48% fg, 36% 3p, 19.1 PER
Amari Williams
- 2023-24: 22.9 mpg, 12.2 ppg, 1.9 apg, 7.8 rpg, 1.8 bpg, 53% fg, 28.5 PER
- 2024-25: 22.7 mpg, 10.8 ppg, 3.2 apg, 8.6 rpg, 1.3 bpg, 55% fg, 24.0 PER
Otega Oweh
- 2023-24: 25 mpg, 11.4 ppg, 1.0 apg, 3.8 rpg, 1.5 spg, 49% fg, 37% 3p, 17.5 PER
- 2024-25: 28.1 mpg, 16.3 ppg, 1.7 apg, 4.7 rpg, 1.6 spg, 49% fg, 36% 3p, 22.3 PER
Andrew Carr
- 2023-24: 32.5 mpg, 13.5 ppg, 1.5 apg, 6.8 rpg, 1.5 bpg, 53% fg, 37% 3p, 20.8 PER
- 2024-25: 24 mpg, 10.4 ppg, 1.8 apg, 4.8 rpg, 0.7 bpg, 55 fg%, 34% 3p, 20.4 PER
Koby Brea
- 2023-24: 29 mpg, 11.1 ppg, 1.2 apg, 3.8 rpg, 0.5 spg, 51% fg, 50% 3p, 18.3 PER
- 2024-25: 28 mpg, 11.8 ppg, 1.3 apg, 3 rpg, 0.5 spg, 48% fg, 44% 3p, 16.4 PER
Jaxson Robinson
- 2023-24: 26.4 mpg, 14.2 ppg, 1.3 apg, 2.5 rpg, 0.7 spg, 43% fg, 35% 3p, 16.3 PER
- 2024-25: 28 mpg, 13 ppg, 1.7 apg, 3.5 rpg, 0.6 spg, 43% fg, 37% 3p, 16.0 PER
Brandon Garrison
- 2023-24: 22.7 mpg, 7.5 ppg, 1.5 apg, 5.3 rpg, 1,5 bpg, 57% fg, 0.0% 3p
- 2024-25: 17.3 mpg, 6 ppg, 1.9 apg, 3.9 rpg, 0.6 bpg, 51% fg, 30% 3p
Overall my impressions are that all the guys translated pretty well, even if taking a big step up in competition. Some of the efficiency numbers aren't quite as good as their previous spots but alot of that is also explained by the context (Carr injury, Brea having to create alot after Jax injury etc.)
Think it's a good thing to keep in mind when projecting transfers from lower conferences etc. I think there's a bit of a narrative that guys will naturally not do as well as they come to the SEC but I think this and even broadly around CBB, good players tend to do very well even at higher tier stops.
