Thought this was interesting using the Kenpom offensive efficiency #'s and % of minutes used for all of JW's freshman "PG's":
(Newest first)
Brunson = 111 and 62% usage
Booth = 128 and 35%
Arch = 100 and 84%
Ty Johnson = 78 and 44%
Wayns = 103 and 37%
Fisher = 94 and 53%
Grant = 113 and 26%
Scottie = 107 and 74%
Lowry = 98 and 43%
Nardi = 102 and 80%
Foye = 86 and 66%
So I bring this up because I know people are calling into question Brunson's performance verses expectations. As you can see from above, from a usage and efficiency standpoint, Brunson is 3rd behind two guys who's roles were to come off the bench and shoot 3's/score more than anything else. Brunson, comparing all the other guards who started and/or had significant roles, is currently outperforming them all.
The one caveat here is that Brunson is only 6 games into the Big East schedule, and he is currently hit and miss with his performances so far. I just thought it was interesting to compare his first year against some all-time greats.
