It's almost like going from a Wisconsin catholic league with D7 schools filled with 6'2 white centers to the Big East is a step up. (Insane high school stats are usually irrelevant unless your at a top prep school)

Not to mention having a McAA as a high school classmate.

I disagree with some of this. I don't believe WI took Hauser or JJJ out of the game. JJJ took himself out with poor decisions on drives, turnovers and horrible defense. I guess, technically, Wojo took JJJ out. Hauser took himself out with fouls.

Yes, but WI's defense was ready for JJJ. He didn't recognize that and tried to take it against them anyway. WI absolutely targeted Hauser. They knew that Hayes could take advantage of that matchup and he did. That was the thing I was most upset about. I really wanted Hauser to have an amazing game against them because there is no way any Bucky fan could deny that Hauser is a kid who they should have never let get away. Trying to see how they spin his grades or his parents to justify it would have been hilarious.

The key for Markus is to keep improving. D-James was all-world as a freshman and regressed  to the point where he was a liability at both ends as a senior.

James' defense was stellar his senior season.  You are either misremembering or didn't see the games.  He fully bought in to the idea that for the team to be most successful he should focus on defense and distributing rather than being the number one scoring option, and as a result we were top 8 before he went down.

His winning attitude for a teen is very impressive, seems to have leadership skills this team is
lacking, both of the frosh are smart and unique players.

Made up for stellar 2pt. FG%.  As I said, his eFG% was the best of his career.  As good as his freshman year.

Honest question: does eFG% = points scored on FG attempts x .5 divided by total FG attempts?

Yes. I don't think anyone calculates it that way from a process perspective, but yes.

I usually calc using (FGM + (3FGM * .5)) / FGA

That's an issue of your sources.

I fully acknowledge that possibility. All I really knew about Markus and Duane was what I read, and most of what I read was either written here on Scoop or in links provided by Scoopers.
