Conference Only KP Numbers

Also looking at our numbers, I don't see many areas where I'm worried about regression. There aren't any stats that we are suddenly doing better in conference season than we were doing all season long. We know the low offensive and high defensive turnovers are for real. We know that we can defend without fouling. We know we are a ok (not good, not bad) rebounding team. We have enough data to safely predict that we are playing to our level there.

I do see significant room for progression in 3P%. We're shooting 31.7% from three in conference play, 10th in the Big East. We shot 33.5% in the non-conference season. We have also historically gotten better at shooting threes as the season has gone on. I don't think we're a top half of the conference 3P shooting team but I do believe that we are at least a middle of the conference 3P shooting team. My main evidence for this is Kam Jones. He's shooting 20% from three in conference. We have three and a half years of data that tells us that Kam is a much better three point shooter than that. While Benny might be in line for some regression (46.2% from three in conference) everyone else is shooting a sustainable % from three so far. If Kam ends up closer to his career 37.5% by the end of the season, I think we end up with a top 10 offense to compliment our top 20 defense.

TLDR, I think this team has another gear that we haven't seen so far in conference play. I think Shaka can unlock it.

I'm too lazy what is the team on 3s w/o Kam in conference?

49/139 (35.3%)

To speculate, let's keep the above percentage the same but add Kam back in as if he hit his career 37.5% instead of the 20%.

64/179 (35.8%). So if Kam progressed to the mean, our team would go from 31.7% to 35.8%. That would jump us from 10th to 6th in the Big East.

To be fair, I did say Gold(Brick) may be due for some regression. If Kam progressed to his career average and Ben regressed to his career average than the number becomes 61/179 (34.1%). That would only move us to 8th, though only .1% behind 7th.

The fun thing is that if Kam does progress to his career average of 37.5% than he's going to shoot significantly higher than 37.5% the rest of the way.
