PPG 68 (2015-16), 60 (2014-15)
PA/G 71 (2015-16), 67.9 (2014-15)
RPG 36 (2015-16), 33 (2014-15)
FG% 41.8% (2015-16), 40.3% (2014-15)
FT% 71% (2015-16), 66.6% (2014-15)
APG 13 (2015-16), 12 (2014-15)
TPG 12 (2015-16), 13 (2014-15)
BPG 3 both seasons
SPG 6 both seasons
3PT% 29.5% (2015-16), 32.9% (2014-15)
In summary, we have improved in most statistical categories. 3pt shooting is down and PA/G are both down, however the average margin has improved by 4.9 ppg (from -7.9 to -3). I feel that the last few games they have shown more heart and determination, and part of that may be that they are getting confidence and starting to buy in, which is tough for a young team to do.
I know most won't agree, but I believe it takes 4 years to really judge if a coach is the right fit so he can get all of his own recruits in and get them to buy in. If by year 4 we aren't around the 19-23 win mark, then I would say we need to move on. KA needs to have the opportunity to get all of his own guys in and to get them to buy in though.
For those who are still saying there is no improvement are probably not watching the games because these guys are playing with heart and have actually been somewhat enjoyable to watch the last couple of games.
