I wonder if Burries playing off ball contributes to his higher TS%? Wagler is on the ball a lot.
Flemings team is not as good offensively as Arizona or Illinois. I wonder how much that impacts his offensive numbers?
Philon is an interesting case study. If he had come out after his freshman year, a big part of his draw was his defense. But in his sophomore year he took over the offense, had a massive usage rate, and his defense suffered significantly. When looking at these guys defense, I think there needs to be some discounting depending on how much offensive responsibility they have (maybe Acuff is not quite as bad as he seems?). The outlier here is Flemings, who has a fairly heavy offensive responsibility and yet still has the best defensive numbers (although how much of that is due to Sampson priorities?).
For me, I still have Wagler/Acuff/Flemings a notch above Burries/Philon due to their combination of youth/upside and offensive responsibility. If Mavs are picking 7, I'm probably going to go for which ever one of those three guys is left. If the Mavs are picking later and those guys are all gone then it’s am going to be an interesting choice between Burries and Philon.
I am pretty sure I will,have Flemings, Wagler and Acuff solidly in tier 3. Probably evenly rated. Similar to the top three and probably drafted by team preference.
I don’t think I will move any up to tier 2. I only have one player in this tier. I will probably have 1-3 more in tier 3. Not sure who yet.
