Hoops: Post Player Production by Minute

There has been an ongoing question of whether or not Mark Fox is playing the right guys the right minutes. In other words, would we be an eight loss squad if we had different player rotations.  Here are some numbers to consider:

Post Production Per Minute (highlights indicate top two):

Player	Min	Pts/Min	REB/Min	TO/Min	FG %
John Cannon	152	0.34	0.22	0.07	52.4%
Nemi Djurisic	331	0.35	0.17	0.11	36.1%
John Florveus	179	0.16	0.17	0.08	61.1%
Tim Dixon	158	0.20	0.17	0.04	57.1%
Donte Williams	233	0.27	0.23	0.07	50.0%
Marcus Thornton	196	0.17	0.20	0.06	36.4%

 
To me, the stats above indicate the need to play John Cannon dramatically more.  He is simply more productive offensively than some of his counterparts when he actually gets minutes.  This is a kid who I admittedly disparaged regarding the sanity of offering a kid with so little interest from other schools.  So...I was wrong. He should play more.

Or...heaven forbid I was right and some of the other guys are just worse.

The stats above don't factor in defensive efficiency.  It's just a data point to consider.

I'll have a point guard productivity chart up in a few hours.
