Player ratings by game (part 3)

Game 11 - TCU
This was one of KU's best games of the season. We got bupkis from the bench but my oh my look at the starting 5. David was stellar but so was everyone else. We will win a lot of game when the starting 5 play like this. I like this chart.


One last graph

Season Total
You will look at this and think we are doing well since only a few are below the red marker and then only a little while several are well above the marker. This is one of the artifacts of this rating system that takes a little to understand. Looking at a game graph is one thing, but looking at the season graph you have to understand that anyone below the marker is far more of a detriment than the corresponding benefit of someone else above the marker. Especially so when the players below the red marker are the 1st and third players. Ochai and Christian have played 1st and third minutes but have not consistently delivered the performances justifying those minutes. They have not been egregiously below, but we are talking about the difference between a top 10 type team and a team ranked in the 20's or 30's. You can also see that by and large, our bench has been pretty close to what we need but really not quite, with the exception of Mitch. Dajuan has rated out as worthy of the 10-15 minutes he has generally played.
