Outside of the past few games the 4 spot has been a solid contributor this year, and I think they'll get back into the flow here as well
A quick comparison:
Kaluma last year:
30 mpg, 11.8 ppg, 6 rebounds a game, 1.6 assists, Usage 23.2%
Miller + Traudt this year:
34.7mpg, 9.5 ppg, 5.7 rebounds a game, 1 assist, Usage 12.5
and that's including the downturn these past few games. They are being productive with having almost no plays run for them and deferring to every other guy on the court for offense
You can't be serious.
Traudt shot it great against Florida A&M and Central Michigan - phew. He scored 30 of his 78 points this season vs. those two scrub teams.
Now run your analysis during conference play when we actually play real opponents. Miller + Traudt in Big East play ... 6 ppg on on 35% shooting + 5 boards in 33 mpg. That's before mentioning the 4 has been the worst position defensively for us this season.
From my standpoint - the 4 has been the least productive position for us by far.

Spot on. I'm not some anti-analytics guy but there are things that per 40 or basketball reference ratings won't capture. Several here have already pointed some of those things out, especially in comparison to what we lost with Kaluma from a defensive and athletic perspective.
