MU/Creighton & the Offensive Value of Carlino

[andymartinelli2]

To wade further into the muck, their 34.6% accuracy from the field was the second lowest in conference play and third lowest overall, their 18 total field goals were tied for second lowest in conference play and tied for third lowest overall, and their five made free throws were tied for second lowest in conference play and overall. That’s an offense in rough shape, and as we’ve done many times this season, we’ll blame Matt Carlino... https://misix.com/how-much-carlino-matters-for-marquette

A quick note to thank you for these posts. They have been insightful, and, unfortunately, all too accurate.

Thank you and thank you reading them.

Solid article.  Could you help me understand what qualifies Carlino's game as a " somewhat inefficient offensive performance".  I would have thought he was the most efficient guy on the team given the % of possessions he gets.

Matt Carlino is the best plAyer on this team.  Wish we had him for three more years.

The % of possessions a player gets does not play into their efficiency. Efficiency stats are meant to remove any bias associated with discrepancies in the total number of possessions a player gets. One player could get 1% of possessions while another gets 99% and yet they could have the same offensive efficiency numbers. Carlino is certainly one of the more efficient offensive players on the team when looking at effective field goal % and points per 100 possessions, but that isn't necessarily saying much, given his competition on the team. He also has a somewhat disappointing turnover % which helps to make him "somewhat inefficient."

I guess I'm just able to handle a somewhat disappointing turonver % when the guy has an ORtg of 109.2 on 24% of possessions.

Agreed. Add the point mentioned in the post about the other players performing better with him on the court, and you have to hope he is back soon.
