Title: Does the dunk-o-meter mean anything
Post by: mviale on February 22, 2007, 09:39:58 PM
Trend barely played but almost had as many dunks as our starters.  Could this kid have talent?

I think we may be looking at different dunk meters.  I see Blackledge with 2. 

I'm guessing they came against the likes of Eastern Michagan and Detroit.

Yeah he had that one game that had people freaking out about him.

I'm surprised Hayword has dunked.  I don't know if i've ever seen him jump high enough to, rebounding included.

Ahh.. fun with stats..
2 dunks is barely significant compared to the starter numbers:

PlayerDunks
%
James13
27.66%
Barro12
25.53%
McNeal8
17.02%
Matthews6
12.77%
Hayward4
8.51%
Blackledge2
4.26%
Burke2
4.26%
Team47
100.00%

However looking at it this way:

PlayerDunksMinutes
Min/Dunk
Blackledge2122
61.00
Barro12801
66.75
James13959
73.77
McNeal8848
106.00
Hayward4436
109.00
Burke2257
128.50
Matthews6904
150.67
Team474327
92.06
shows Blackledge leading the team.

Bottom line, the dunk-o-meter is just a for-fun stat.  Conclusions can't really be made off of it without taking many other things into account (even minutes aren't enough).  I believe Blackledge does have talent - I do not believe he has shown it though (not even in dunks).
