Quote from: MU82 on January 12, 2026, 05:33:30 PMNone of us is Goose; none of us is claiming that Gold is NBA-bound.I don't dislike Gold. He plays hard. As are most incoming players, he was overhyped, which isn't his fault. 7th man talent on good teams. Unfortunately we need him to be our top 2 or 3 guy.
Ben's a decent role player who plays sound interior defense, grabs some boards and, when he's hitting his shot, adds a dimension to the offense. I hope he gets healthy soon because this team needs those contributions (and lots of other things).
It sucks that his shot isn't going in at last season's 37% rate. I'm sure he's more frustrated about that than Scoopers are. But to say he's "bad" or that he hasn't improved most facets of his game, it's just sh!tting on a guy for the sake of it.

Quote from: Newsdreams on January 12, 2026, 10:34:12 AMCorrect, but those who don't know ball probably think that is a bad stat.me bad. Gold goin' to the Association, right 'Dreams?

*It's
As compared to last season, with increased usage we've also seen a dramatic decrease in turnovers. His turnover rate of 8.7% puts him at 7 of 70 BEast players (min 40% of team's minutes - we'll call those players 'regulars' the rest of the way). That's down from 13.3% a year ago.
His 3-point shooting has been brutally awful, but I think a lot of that is due to injury. Even a hobbled Ben, though, is a good option for THIS squad. He's shooting 2FGAs more often and doing so well (61.7%, up from last year's 60.0% mark) and a long with that is a hefty rise in FTrate (29.9 vs. last year's 16.7, which was a career high).
Impressively, and importantly, he's defending without fouling. Just 2.2 FC/40 minutes down from 3.4 last season (also was a career mark for him.. in the mid-4's in his first two seasons). That ranks him 10th in the BEast of regulars.
The defensive rebounding has been very good - over 20%. Ranks 8th out of the BEast regulars.
Thankful we have Ben this season.
Now, go clean some bedpans, Nurse Danielle.

Its time.
