2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc
-
Gradey is currently 8th all time for points in a FR season at KU. Will pass Rush and Dotson in the regular season barring a disaster. A chance to end up 4th behind Wiggs/BMac/Josh depending on tournament runs.
-
@BShark it’s interesting from the standpoint that I think this team would mop the floor with 19 team no question. The 2019 doesn’t make the NCAA tournament with anyone but BS coaching it. Feel the same way about the 2021 team. I used to be big on these metrics and stats but you can never predict anything with them IMO. TCU shooting insane in AFH is the prime example.
-
@kjayhawks That 2021 team was so bad I became apathetic towards basketball that season. We got robbed of at least a final four by covid in 2020 then in 2021 just a horrible team limited on talent and never seemed to get what it took. So thankful for the 2022 team. 2021 was a dark time.
-
I don’t know. That 18-19 team with a healthy Doke could have made noise. Then you had the Vick drama to go with it. The talent was there to be good.
The 2021 team was BAD.
-
That 21 team seemed to be the fuel for 22 though according to that Ochai/Mitch/Teehan podcast they did. Sometimes sacrifices are made for the greater good
-
The 21 team is undoubtedly Self’s worst here. The only one to not finish top 25 kenpom. I agree a lot of coaches would miss the tournament with that roster. Were they expecting Dotson back??! It was baffling to not have a PG.
-
@BShark I honestly think they were and as much as I like Dot he made a huge mistake leaving early. Guys that are projected first rounders I have zero problem with going. But Dot went undrafted and has played in only 28 games this far in the NBA averaging less than 7 minutes in those 28 games. He’s been bouncing around the G-league for 3 years. I don’t think he ever would’ve been lottery with his size but could’ve seen him going late first round/early second if he stayed another year to work on his shot.
-
@Kcmatt7 2019 could’ve been good as you said with Vick and Doke healthy but they weren’t so I see the team as without them.
-
Some more Stats. Who doesn’t like Stats. Stats! Stats!
KU has 2 remaining home games. Under Coach Self, KU is 38-0 in the final 2 home games of the season. Pretty good win record for the next two!
KU in conference play- leading the Big-12 in 2 pt field goal defense and 2nd in defensive rebounding.
Baylor’s defense is currently the worst defense in the Big-12 in the last 4 years. Keep doing what you’re doing Scottie.
-
-
@BShark And that is with Jalen struggling… He’s shooting 36% from the field on 64 shots during this stretch and 23% from deep.
It feels like this team is SOOO close to clicking 100%. Kevin is finally back to being the gritty ball player we know he is. Gradey’s shot is back. DaJuan has found a nice balance of scoring and passing. KJ continues to just be Mr. Consistent. Udeh has found a way to contribute. The bench guards have all been playable.
If we can get the good JWill back for the tourney we are a legit contender.

I miss Dave, but I don’t miss this:

He’s pressing. Opinion: he wants it so bad, he is playing a step sped up. Slow down, let the game come to you, and you’ll be fine, JW. I’m calling it - 30 against WVU.
-
My opinion of Jalen lately!
-
Anyone able to find a good update of top coaches performances in the NCAA Tournament? Like I found Self is 46-16 at Kansas and 55-21 overall. That’s a pretty solid win percentage that has to be close to the top ever if not at least top over the span of his career.
-
Guess I must be ready for March… lol
-
Found this: not sure how reliable it is as a source… also, doesn’t give win percentages.

@benshawks08 Looks to be a least a year out of date. Bill should be one spot higher assuming the rest is correct!

I knew we were on a heater but whewwww
Who is he claiming had a better 2.5 weeks? Alabama? They lost a game; I must be missing something.
-
@dylans Purely statistically so wins/losses aren’t everything though it does tend to mean you are winning.
-
Update!
Points-
Jalen moved into 32nd place and now sets his aim at Mario Chalmers for 31st. He needs 22 points on Senior Night to pass him.
Kevin is also closing in on 1,000, he needs 15 points on Senior Night to reach the 1,000 point club.

PER

Here’s so more fun stats after the West Virginia Game.
KU is 10-0 when shooting 50% from the field this year. 293-12 in the Self Era.
KU improved to 184-26 when scoring 70-70 points & 110-46 when allowing 70-79 points in the Self Era.
Harris moved into a tie with Sherron Collins for 23rd all time on the steals list.
Gradey Dick is now 4th among KU freshman in 3 point makes (71) attempts (170). He’s also 9th all time for field goals made with 145.
Bill Self playing on Saturdays- 204-56. Self in February- 126-32. Self on ESPN 183-62.
KU has 12 conference wins for the 23rd straight season. Self has 24 wins in 18 of his 20 seasons at KU.
KU is 8-1 this season in games decided by 5 points or less. 122-52 in Self Era, 48-10 at Allen Fieldhouse.
KU has a 39-game win streak on Senior Night.
-
How is the player efficiency rating determined? Udeh having a PER of 22 on a night his +/- was negative is not exactly what I’d expect.
-
@dylans The PER is a season-long stat. So it combines all of his minutes played all year.
-
I can’t seem to figure out how WVU is so highly rated in the Net and in Kenpom. Playing a tough schedule is definitely a key. But winning some of those games would seem to be a premium.
-
@cragarhawk It’s like the year KU had Wiggins and Embiid. KU was ranked high even though they lost nearly all the games to the top ranked teams that year. -Almost all the losses were to good teams, but you’d think you’d have to beat one to earn a high ranking yourself.
Being a Kansas homer I still think with a healthy Embiid KU makes noise that March.
-
Update. We are CHAMPS!!!
Points-
Jalen ties Mario Chalmers for 31st all-time on the scoring list.
Jalen needs 31 points to pass Marcus Morris for 30th, 34 to pass Adonis Jordan & 37 points to pass Richard Scott for 28th.
Kevin has exactly 1,000 points getting the most important one late in the game. Kev, what a play.
Kenpom-
Still doesn’t like us.
-
@BeddieKU23 Saw a thing that we are still within the Kenpom Rankings that match all of the most recent champions. Something about top 27 D and top 37 O I think.

No point guard.
-
@dylans with Joel we’re National Champs. But could have went further if anyone outside of Frankamp and Black seemed to care about being there imo
-
@cragarhawk I don’t think that Wiggins didn’t care. He just isn’t an alpha, which is too bad. He could be dominating.
-
If you like stats, here’s some more.
If Bill Self wins the final 10 games of the season, he would pass Phog Allen as the winningest coach in KU history.
Bill Self has been a 4 seed or better in the NCAA Tournament every year. The streak will continue.
If Bill Self were a university, he would rank 9th all time in conference championships. CJ Moore gets credit for this.
Bill has won 17 titles in 20 years at KU.
Coach K won 13 conference championships in 42 years, Roy won 13 ACC+Big-12 titles in 33 years, Izzo has won 10 Big-10 titles in 28 years.
Harris is now tied for 22nd all time in steals
KU is 23-0 this season when leading with under 5:00 minutes left, 533-18 in the Self Era.
Pretty crazy, KU’s last 8 wins against Texas Tech have all been under single digits.
-

Like fractions?
-
@BeddieKU23 Bill Self had now been the coach of KU for 16% of their years as well. Basketball is a young sport. Kinda cool to be able to remember such a large chunk of the entire history of basketball.
-
@dylans Im sure youre right about that. It’s just how it looked that day. Although to be fair, I was a long damn ways away in a nosebleed seat so that could be some of the issue with my vision on that.
-
Update post West Virginia win
POINTS-
Jalen now sits in 28th place all-time. He is 48 points away from passing Wilt Chamberlain for 27th. With a deep run in the tourney he can creep up further at his current scoring avg.
Kenpom-
As we can see, the offense and defense are trending in opposite directions.
Harris is now 21st all time in steals passing Nick Collison.
Gradey is now 2nd all time for made 3’s from a freshman. Needs 3 more to pass Jeff Boschee.
KU has now won 13 of its last 15 B12 tourney games
Jalen is now 14th all time in rebounds at KU.
-
@BeddieKU23 KU has now won 13 of its last 15 B12 tourney games
While Faylor has lost 7 of their last 8. Yikes
-
@dylans They did win a National Title in that span…
-
@benshawks08 Seems fluky…with that NC and those 6 wins they average less than 2 NCAA tournament w’s per year over the last 7 appearances.
-
Update:
Points-
Jalen passed Wilt Chamberlain for 27th all time on the scoring list. He needs 43 points to pass Brandon Rush for 26th.
Kenpom-
In the Self era this ranks as the #15th best team via Kenpom.
There are 6 teams this current team compares with. When Self’s offenses are in the 20’s, his defense has always been good. 5 of 6 were Top 11 Kenpom on defense.
Here are the finishes for those 6 teams- 2 (lost in 2nd round), 2 (lost in Sweet 16), 1 (Elite 8), 1 (Championship game, 2011-12).
-
@BeddieKU23 GENEROUS to include those two better teams. I think this team really closely matches the 2nd round loss/S16 teams though.
-
Yeah it would appear statistically this team has a short ceiling.
My hope is the stats won’t matter when Jalen laces them up and this team’s heart and competitiveness shines. I know we’ll defend, I think it’s our offense that has stunk & will need to prove itself.
-
Matches the eye test. They are good, but definitely not a dominant team. Could lose in the round of 32, could win the whole thing.
-
Update: Howard Dub out the way.
Some important Milestones for Gradey Dick and Jalen Wilson.
Gradey became #1 in 3 pointers made for a KU freshman passing Jeff Boschee who had 79, Gradey has 82 now. Gradey also hit 500 points as a freshman which now has him in 4th place all-time for a KU freshman.
Jalen Wilson surpassed 700 points for the season becoming only the 11th Jawhawk to do so. Jalen has now scored 20+ in 6 straight games as he continues to climb the all-time scoring chart. He needs 23 points on Saturday to move into 26th place.
-
Update: End of a great season is here, way too soon for my liking!
Jalen finishes in 27th place on the All-Time Scoring list with 1475 points, 3 short of passing Brandon Rush. Congrats Jalen, you are a KU legend! Remarkable transformation this man made. He truly understood what it meant to be a Jayhawk!
Dajuan Harris will be on 1,000 point scoring club watch next season. He’s at 606 points total, scoring a career best 320 points this season.
KJ Adams scored 10x as many points this season as in his freshman season (38 to 380). He’s poised for an even bigger role next year.
Kenpom rates this as the 16th best team in the Self era overall. 9th overall in the Country, 24th best Offense, 11th best Defense.
-
@BeddieKU23 Assuming KJs growth is linear and not exponential, he should only score 100 points per game next season.
