Finished 23-8 (13-5)
Surprises:
Reed MFn Sheppard: 12.2 pts, 4.5 ast, 4.2 reb, 2.6 stl in 28.8 mins (The one and only)
Dilly: 15.1 pts, 3.8 ast, 2.8 reb, 1.1 stl in 23.1 mins (BEAST, hypeman)
Not a surprise but impressive (overachievers):
Reeves: 20 pts, 4.2 reb, 50.7 FG%! in 31.6 mins (steady veteran, marksman)
Mitchell: 11.2 pts, 7.1 reb, 1.1 bulk in 31.5 mins (outside of the injury part and getting back up to speed, amazing season)
Thiero: 7.8 pts, 5.1 reb in 22.4 mins (HUSTLE player, Yuge impact)
Solid performance, not overly impressive
DJ: 10.6 pts, 3.4 ast, 1.8 reb in 26.5 mins (good season overall, even if he didn’t live up to the massive expectations)
Edwards: 8.7 pts, 3.4 reb, 1.0 stl in 21.3 mins (didn’t play to his potential but at the end of the season he’s hitting his stride)
Underachieved:
Bradshaw: 5.4 pts, 3.6 reb in 15.2 mins (severely underperformed based on rankings/hype, side note: great energy, great teammate)
Others:
Z was a fun late addition, great dude and he’s a baller.
Burks will be a solid rotation player if he sticks around and develops.
Overall, I definitely thought we’d do better with this roster and have certainly hit my frustration point multiple times this season (especially with Cal). But we seem to be peaking now and I think we can do great things in the tourney if the defense performs at the level it has the last handful of games and the offense continues to flourish.
