Funny thing is he wasn't hurt much that AAU season, but it seemed like every time one of the national guys was set to see him he was dealing with an ankle sprain that kept coming back in the wrong spots. I saw him healthy a bunch, but he, KJ and Lawrence were at the top of my list of guys to track so I was there every time he was on my schedule. Unfortunately it is hard to get ranked when you aren't seen...

Keep in mind he is splitting time. If you run his numbers against Ennis or Harrison, adjusted for minutes played, he compares favorably. Here's the data adjusted to 32.5 minutes (which is what Ennis is averaging):
Tyler Ennis 11.6 points 5.5 assists 3.3 rebounds 2.7 steals 1.2 turnovers 41.7% FGP 38.5% 3PP 73.6% FTP Troy Caupain 11.1 points 3.8 assists 4.6 rebounds 2.0 steals 2.1 turnovers 42.9% FGP 44.0% 3PP 79.5% FT Andrew Harrison 12.5 points 3.8 assists 2.8 rebounds 0.3 steals 2.8 turnovers 39.1% FGP 32.1% 3PP 71.1% FTP |

One of the great things about Caupain compared to the 5-star guys is that he might actually stick around for 4 years.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Waterhead. He's coming along at a rapid pace, but let's get a few more important games under our belts before we make him the second coming. But, that being siad, I do like you enthusiasm. You are #1 on the list in that category. Maybe a 5 star

I don't buy that argument. That assumes that he'll continue playing consistently whether he plays 10 minutes or 40 and people aren't fixed commodities like that. As you play, there's mental and physical strain. Not to mention the competition levels/schedule difficulties are different. And who's to say, that asking the others compared to him to shoulder a smaller role wouldn't improve their field goal% turnovers margin etc. ? And what of those things that don't show up on the stat sheet? That's just too open to take seriously imo. As far as comparing him to Harrison, Caupain isn't 6'6. I think that comparison is rubbish tbh. Last edited by Nomadic1; 01-05-2014 at 12:46 PM. |

Just relax. He didn't have to play 30+ minutes from the start, let him grow into his role. I am excited for the next 3+ years...
