How's Keegan Doing?

Regarding the pregame trade rumors:


Getting back to the trade rumors. I remembered, while watching Matt do his podcast maybe 2 weeks ago or so, and having the Locked on Bulls podcast host on. They talked about the Kings possibly going after DeRosan or Zach Levine. The Bulls podcast host exclaimed over and over, "You gotta give us Keegan Murray". LOL. Matt didn't like that and neither did I. But, they had fun with it and I enjoyed watching it, and had fun as well. :D
 
Doing a quick look at the players that I knew had big games, here’s where he stands on our list. Anyone else I’m missing with a greater than 15 point game?

Fred Brown - 58
Keegan Murray - 47
Ricky Davis - 45
Don Nelson - 40
John Johnson - 40
Acie Earl - 40
Kevin Gamble - 37
BJ Armstrong - 35
Brad Lohaus- 34
Kevin Kunnert- 31
Bob Hansen - 28
Matt Bullard - 28
Ronnie Lester - 27
Luka Garza - 25
Reggie Evans - 22
Murray Weir - 19
Sam Williams - 19
Ryan Bowen - 18
Tyler Cook - 17
 
Remember when Connor started ahead of Keegan?

Yep. That year:

Keegan:
7.2 PPG
0.5 APG
0.6 TOPG
0.83 AST/TO ratio
5.1 RPG

Connor:
3.3 PPG
3.6 APG
1.0 TOPG
3.6:1 AST/TO ratio
3.1 RPG

So Keegan, w/ 0.5 APG was worth about 8.2 PPG
Connor w/ 3.6 AGP was worth about 10.5 PPG

Keegan averaged 18 min/game; Connor 23 min/game

Pretty even, I'd say; and the extra assists and better AST/TO ratio, you'd probably start Connor over Keegan that year.

Keegan made a HUGE jump the following year.
Connor regressed that year; but bounced back to put up slightly better numbers the year after when Keegan entered the draft.

Keegan had much higher upside, but in his Freshman year, he most assuredly was neither a "star", nor a future NBA draft pick.

that is a stupid analysis.

You forget no one was guarding CMAC because he was he couldn't shoot and he was much, much worse rebounder/defender than Keegan.
 
Boy they must have a really good team chemistry. Guys were passing up their own open looks to pass to Keegan! they were just feeding him like crazy. Smart playing - feed the hot guy!
