2021 Round 17: Teams & In Game Discussion
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
I am speaking broadly - rather than specific to Gawn vs Darcy - but in this case I don’t think it is a dramatic drop off.
It’s easy to cherry pick stats to suit a narrative. Whenever someone posts an “average of X in his last N starts”, I always think they should be forced to quote the average in the last N+1 rounds as well. You say, Gawn has been poor since round 6, well that’s convenient - he had 147 in round 6.
Sure, he had a shocker against North. But that’s also the only time he’s dropped below the ton this season (8 in a row to today)
He’s averaged 115 since round 5
He’s averaged 117 since round 7
No one’s running for the door on those numbers. The average of 141 for the first 6 rounds was unsustainable. 123 for the season is within a standard deviation of where most expected him I’d say (spoken as someone who didn’t start him).
Jackson is a great up and comer, and will eat into some of the margins (took 40% CBA last out). But Gawn’s class and contested marking will keep him at the upper echelons of the comp in SC terms.
