JC Stats Year 1 vs. Year 3 thru 13 games
I decided to compare stats between the first 13 games of JC Year 1 vs. Year 3. Obvious caveat is that there was no month-long break in Year 1 but as JC says that shouldn't be an excuse.
Summary: We are no different than in Year 1 and in many categories we are worse, especially on offense. The only categories we are better in is Pace, Defensive Rating (barely), Blocks, and Steals. This is especially alarming given the supposed influx of talent we've had from Year 1 to Year 3.
All numbers will be 2019/2021
Offensive Rating (Points scored per 100 possessions): 97.08/90.62
We are scoring almost 6.5 fewer points now than we were in 2019
Defensive Rating (Points given up per 100 possessions): 99.97/98.90
Our defense has gotten better by about 1 point. An improvement but not a very large one.
Pace (Possessions per 40 minutes): 69.28/71.25
We are playing a little faster
Free Throw Rate (FT Attempts/FG Attempts: .31/.24
We are shooting 7% fewer FTs per FG Attempt now than in year 1
3 Pt Attempt Rate (3pt Attempts/FG Attempts: .43/.36
We are attempting 7% fewer 3 pointers per FG Attempt now than in year 1
Effective FG Percentage: .49/.46
We are 3% less efficient than we were two years ago
Total Rebound Percentage: 48.48/46.65
We are grabbing about 2% fewer available rebounds than year 1
Assist Percentage: 50.45/44.95
We assist 5.5% fewer shots now than we did in year 1
Steal Percentage: 7.21/10.12
We are making 3% more steals than we did year 1
Block Percentage: 10.54/12.14
We are blocking about 1.5% more shots than we did year 1
Turnover Percentage: 15.56/15.99
We are technically turning the ball over more, but statistically about the same. We can at least say we haven't gotten any better at holding onto the ball.
Opponent Turnover Percentage: 13.24/16.28
We are making our opponent turnover the ball 3 more times now than we did year 1

Re: JC Stats Year 1 vs. Year 3 thru 13 games
I'm probably not the nest person to comment on this, because I really haven't seen the team play much since the first five games of the season due to work conflicts, but it does feel like these numbers address what has been my overall concern with the program under JC. The fact that our offensive rating in 19-20 dwarfed what we've seen this year matches up with my memory of how much more fluid and organized we looked with Armel running the point. While the last two years have involved an influx of talent into the program, what I saw to begin this year (and basically all of last year) was a lot of shot hunting by guards prioritized over collapsing defenses and whipping the ball side to side. When I've poked my head in in recent weeks, there seems to be some optimism that Brayon can be the initiating PG that Armel was for us in 19-20. I hope to see that when I next tune in. However, if all I see is a more efficient heliocentric bucket getter than JB squared, my optimism will quickly be tempered.
