Statistical Analysis Concludes Erick Green ACC POY

Steaking the Lawn crunched the numbers on a very nice tempo-free, bias-free guide to the ACC POTY and team awards.

If you like math, then read the entire thing ( http://www.streakingthelawn.com/2013/2/22/4016310/your-field-guide-to-th...). This was their conclusion.

Erick Green absolutely dominates these statistics. His ORtg is second only to Reggie Bullock, but he maintains this high ORtg while using an absolutely absurd 31.6% of his team's possessions.[9] He may be hogging the ball, but he appears to be doing so with good reason. He also almost never leaves the floor, and contributes moderately well in the defensive statistics in comparison to other guards.

And more about Green.

So now I find myself in the unenviable position of having to defend a Hokie. [10] The widely repeated knock on Green is the fact that he plays on one of the worst teams in the ACC. The classic Tobacco Road line is: "well he's good, but what would happen if he were a Blue Devil?" Well, his role on the team would probably decrease closer to the other levels seen on the charts, but suggesting that a player contributing that much would be relegated to Poss% and Min% number far below the other star levels on these charts is just delusional. He'd still have a significant role on any ACC team. Furthermore, there's substantial support for claiming that his ORtg would actually increase in the process.[11] What would happen? The best player in the league might get better.
