Adonys (945 mins, started all 27 games, averages 35 mins played per game, 10.7 pts per game, overall shooting 43% from the field, 38.5% from 3 pt range, 81% from FT Line. In just AAC Games, 10.4 pts per game, shooting 38.2%, 33.7% from 3 pt land, 83% from FT line ), and BJ (742 mins, started all 23 games he was healthy, ave 32 mins per game, overall 12.9 pts per game, 38% from the field, 36% from downtown, 73% from FT. In just AAC Games: 35% from the field, 27.7% from downtown, 74% from FT). He missed 4 games because of injury/concussion), have both gained a ton of experience this season.
While both have struggled in some games (happens with almost every Freshmen), while Taylor played well at Tulane (6-10, 4-6 from 3 pt range, 16 pts), in the other recent 3 games Houston( 2-8 but his last one was the game deciding bucket), Memphis (2-14) and at Cinci (2-10), he has obviously has struggled in those game.
Looking back at some of the better guards/winf players in recent years at UCF and how much experienced they had as true Freshmen and beyond:
Jermaine Taylor: ave 11.7 mins per game (no starts, 338 total mins, 4.3 pts per game, 39% from the field, 30% from shorter 3 pt range, just 44% from FT line). As a soph, JT averaged 12.7 pts per game. Jr 20.8 pts, Sr 26.2 pts)
AJ Rompza: Started 26 our of 29 games, averaged 26.5 mins per game, 4.3 pts per game, 29.5% from the field, 22% from 3 pt range. Soph started all 31 games, 977 mins played, averaged 31.5 mins per game, 8.6 pts per game, 40.5% from the field, 33% from 3 pt, 56% from FT line. As a Jr: 31 games, 19 starts, ave 6.4 pts, 39% from the field, 33% from downtown, 70% from FT line)...then missed half of his Senior Season due to NCAA Suspension.
Jordan: Started 18 out of 32 games, 836 mins played, 26.1 mins per game, 8 pts per game, shot 41% from the field, 27.6% from 3 pt range, 70% from FT line. As a Soph: Started 31 out of 33 games, 1,038 mins played, ave 31.5 mins per game, shot 40.6% from the field, 33% from downtown, 77.5% from FT line. As Jr: Started 31 games (missed 2 games that season), 1,112 mins, 35.9 mins per game, 13.7 pts per game, shot 37% from the field,
Sykes: Started 1 out of his 32 games, 525 mins played, ave 16.4 mins, 4 pts per game (just 1.9 pts in conf play), shot 56% from the field (just 11-25 in conf play), had 0 three pt attempts, 47.5% from FT line (just 30% in conf play). As a Soph: Started 32 out of 33 games, 1,012 mins played, ave 30.7 mins per game, 12.3 pts per game, 54% from the field, 29% from 3 pt, 55% from FT. As a Jr: Started all 31 games, 1,079 mins played, 34.8 mins per game, 16 pts per game, 46% from the field, 32% from 3 pt range, 62% from FT line. As a Sr: Started 29 out of his 30 games (missed 1 total game), 958 mins played, 31.9 mins per game, 17.2 pts per game, 47.5% from the field, 37.5% from 3 pt range, 54% FT.
I think with their first full off-season of strength/conditioning...both of these true Freshmen will improve in a lot of areas next season (plus, with a lot more depth...they might get more rest...which would make them fresher at end of games).
