What's this?

I think the main problem is we have no 'clutch' players.


I recently read (or watched, don't remember) a comparison of Lebron and Jordan, and one of their metrics was 'clutch'. It was designed as field goal percentage more than 3 feet from the goal with under 2 minutes to go in a one possession game. Lebron was less than half his normal field goal percentage and Jordan's field goal percentage almost doubled. I would like to see this stat with our team this season. We just seem to choke late (lazy passes, missing open shots, etc). Personally I would like to see a little more Pedula late in the game as he seems to be a gamer, but I don't know what else can be done as I simply don't see a single player on the team who I would label as 'clutch'.

  There seems to be some number of VT fans convinced -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 12:02PM
  This is nothing new for VT. Were you not around for "We need Pegues!!" -- Beach Hokie 01/20/2022 2:38PM

  Mark Leal should be the starter!! -- hoosnowahokie 01/20/2022 1:16PM
  I knew Leal thru work. Great guy that respected Logan so much. -- 1980VT 01/20/2022 2:33PM
  Remember Jake Johnson? -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 1:49PM
  He had a mean looking picture. -- NC Hoke 01/20/2022 4:53PM
  And then he was successful at South Alabama and our fans complained we ran -- HokieBrazil 01/20/2022 2:06PM
  What was the typical comment about him... -- EDGEMAN 01/20/2022 2:16PM
  Amen! I love how message board warriors with limited information think that -- HeisenBurg13 01/20/2022 1:09PM
  100% Agree. -- Foxhall Hokie 01/20/2022 12:54PM
  Everyone on our bench has an incomplete skill set... -- Vippie1 01/20/2022 1:24PM
  Do you mean. -- 2hhoop3 01/20/2022 1:36PM
  Hoepfully we can get some big leads in games like last -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 1:02PM
  While I cannot disagree with anything you said -- hokieone 01/20/2022 12:51PM
  Good point. ** -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 12:58PM
  The number 6 guy in minutes is Darius Maddox at 14.2 minutes per game. -- IronBlood 01/20/2022 12:27PM
  Really doesn't have much of a choice. ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 01/20/2022 6:50PM
  You may be right...... -- 2hhoop3 01/20/2022 7:03PM
  Alleyne's game is sorely lacking. He's not a good shooter. -- YBYSAIAHokie 01/20/2022 2:21PM
  You play the rotations that give you your best chance to win every night -- st_andrew 01/20/2022 12:44PM
  CMY owns the bench... -- Bmackattack 01/20/2022 12:16PM
  He sure does. But it’s the middle of the season. -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 12:23PM

  I have serious questions about next year as well... -- hokeeron1 01/20/2022 2:45PM
  Amen. MBB lost the portal this past offseason on the wing -- Bmackattack 01/20/2022 1:52PM
  Thankfully you are correct as our four best players -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 1:50PM
  Bill Foster did but he was cleaning up the Frankie Allen debacle ** -- TomTurkey 01/20/2022 12:57PM
  That was a big debacle too. ** -- GreenvilleVT 01/20/2022 12:59PM
  Foster did a credible job. My favorite VT HC. -- TomTurkey 01/20/2022 1:05PM
