Mid Season Synergy Grades

[justinhub2003]

Figured it would be a good time to look at the Synergy grades of each player both offensively and defensively.
Ratings are based on points per possession. They simplify it into grades like Poor, below average, Excellent ETC

They get the grades as measure up against Everyone else, so the percentage you will see next to each player is the percent of players in D1 they grade better than.

Here is the scale:
83-100%: Excellent
65-82%: Very Good
51-64%: Good
31-50%: Average
15-30%: Below Average
0-14%: Poor


Since this is UC basketball, lets start with Defense first:
Chris Vogt: Poor (1.143 ppp) 4%
Jay Sorolla: Excellent (.57 ppp) 93%
Chris McNeal: Excellent (.65 ppp) 85%
Zach Harvey: Very Good (.68 ppp) 81%
Jeremiah Davenport: Excellent (.67 ppp) 83%
Jaevin Cumberland: Good (.79 ppp) 57%
Mika Adams-Woods: Below Average (.98 ppp) 16%
Keith Williams: Very Good (.76 ppp) 65%
Mamoudou Diarra: Excellent (.55 ppp) 95%
Tre Scott: Very Good (.73 ppp) 71%
Jarron Cumberland: Good (.77 ppp) 62%




Offense:
Chris Vogt: Excellent (1.18 ppp) 98%
Jay Sorolla: Very Good (.95 ppp) 71%
Chris McNeal: Poor (.59 ppp) 7%
Zach Harvey: Poor (.52 ppp) 5%
Jeremiah Davenport: Below Average (.70 ppp) 17%
Jaevin Cumberland: Very Good (.95 ppp) 72%
Mika Adams-Woods: Excellent (1.03 ppp) 88%
Keith Williams: Good (.88 ppp) 55%
Mamoudou Diarra: Average (.838 ppp) 44%
Tre Scott: Average (.83 ppp) 42%
Jarron Cumberland: Average (.82 ppp) 38%

Biggest surprises would be On defense. MAW and Harvey. MAW seems like a good defender. Maybe fouls too much. And Harvey I am guessing the sample isn’t large enough to get a good idea.

MAW fouls way too much 40 feet from the basket.

He tries hard and I think he ultimately will be a good defender.

Grades out well at guarding the PNR ball handler.

Its jumpshots that drive down his numbers. He's either ball watching and closing out way too late or over helping and getting to his man too late... Or with Jump shooting, it could just be bad luck

 

[justinhub2003]

As for Harvey, I almost didn't list him because he has just 29 offensive possession and 34 defensive possessions.

Chris Vogt: Poor (1.143 ppp) 4%, why would anyone complain about his defense?

Has anyone ever said his defense was good? We just don’t blame him for every point scored.
Also his offense, excellent. Left that part out.
Take the good with the bad with him. Like most people have said on here.

 

[cincrulz11]

is Vogt still playing good post defense?

His offense is off the charts.

I want him on the floor. I’d just like to see a better scheme

 

[justinhub2003]

Jaevin has really improved on defense

Vogt won’t be able to score against good competition though.

im still certain the sample size on those 3's is short term variance. what's his man shooting on the season? it was insane before, im sure its just as crazy.


when you got guys like the guy from Tulane going 5-5 from 3, some of them even steps behind the line its going to make your overall numbers look bad.



as long as he plays good post defense, thats all we care about.

A few 3 pointers aren’t driving him to have the probably the worst rated defense UC has had in the past 30 years.

His defense is really geared for a 2-3 zone.

But I didn’t post these to call out Vogt.


I’ll take his defensive issues because of the way he scores.

But I looked up his post up defense.

It’s not goof either

He’s listed at average in the post allowing .85 points per possession, which is better than 42% of D1

Non post ups (shots around the basket) he is giving 1.16 points per possession

So essentially he doesn’t defend the rim either


But again, who cares

What was Quadri’s. That one has to be in the conversation I would think.

the 3's definitely were the main cause of his grade being so bad when you posted his individual numbers before, thats why i keep asking if his post defense is still strong like it was before.

that would be a big drop from before, which is not good. and he does need to be able to defend his man 1v1 in the post.

 

[justinhub2003]

Lol I know is going to be hard to believe but in 16-17 season, quadri was an excellent defender, in 49 possessions giving up just .65 ppp

Guys make hard shots on him. Not sure how that factors. The Tulane guy, Colgate guy, Jones from Xavier all made hard shots. At some point it his fault but all you can do is put a hand in their face and if he can’t move that’s gonna be kinda hard.

I question these metrics if they are telling me Quadri was an excellent defender. He’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen. No one ever seen quad and said he is a good defender. No one. Maybe that was a sample size thing.

 

[cincyguy13]

My other guess would be Yancy, only because he didn’t try very hard. Or it seemed that way at times.
