Gonna give you some data on our guards from recent games, to continue on the discussion on here.
For context, this is for the games post-Utah ... after Utah, SC reached its apex in KenPom at #9. Since then, SC has slid, but continued to play well and won all but one of its games. One difference you do see is in the guard play, which had been pretty stellar through the Utah game.
Here is the mean Off Rating (per KenPom)* for our two primary guards since the Utah win:
Boogie: 87.1
Ethan: 86.1
If you adjust for the two outliers (best and worst games), their mean Off Ratings are as follows for those games:
Boogie: 89.7
Ethan: 81.8
* Note: 100 is the mean Offensive Rating in college basketball
Here is the 3-point shooting since Utah:
Boogie: 8/35**
Ethan: 3/15***
** Boogie is actually 5/13 in the last two games; so he was only 3/22 in the six games immediately after the Utah game.
*** Ethan hit all three 3-pointers in the same game (Georgia Tech); he is 0/11 from behind the arc in the other 7 games since Utah.
As far as defense goes, one metric is points per possession allowed. Since the Utah game, USC is allowed 0.92 points per possession. Here are the points per possession while these guys are on the court:
Boogie: 0.91
Ethan: 0.93
Both are about average, with Boogie slightly above, and Ethan slightly below.
For what it's worth, Reese is at 0.90 points per possession allowed when he is on the court for those games; but the offense's points per possession scored is well below average when Reese is on the court, while it's basically average for Boogie and Ethan.
Finally, here is a look at "Points Above Median" (per HoopLens), which measures "how much each player affects his team's shooting efficiency," by "calculating how many additional points a player scores when compared with what a 'median' player would have scored with those shot attempts."
Boogie is at 21.2.
Ethan is at -1.2.
