Please. Stop. Using. FG. Percentage.

It depends what type of shot they shoot.

Looks like Beran-Long-Rice-Cattoor-Pedulla, starting line-up seems very

Just a very minor detail 😂**
uber hokie • 04/23/23 09:25 PM ET
Somebody needs to leave right?
hokietom87 • 04/23/23 02:58 PM ET
No , when Basile left we had one open spot**
lax cpa • 04/23/23 03:04 PM ET
Beran fills that spot ... Assuming**
hokietom87 • 04/23/23 03:24 PM ET
With Beran we’d have a huge amount of lineup diversity
soflahokie • 04/23/23 12:23 PM ET
They're equally as tall as last years lineup**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 12:08 PM ET
Not saying a whole lot**
flhokie25 • 04/23/23 09:54 PM ET
You'd prefer we go back to the days of 6'6 centers?**
GCHokie34 • 04/24/23 12:22 PM ET
I would be happy with a 6'7 center as long as it's Omier**
HokieBrazil • 04/24/23 01:47 PM ET
Being small not only length, but also weight wise. Long is 200 lbs vs.
icelus • 04/23/23 12:42 PM ET
Some matchups will be better for us than others, that’s b’ball**
ombandit • 04/23/23 01:33 PM ET
There's not a less accurate stat than weight in basketball**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 01:32 PM ET
You mean they lie about their weight?**
SHPHOKIE • 04/23/23 07:39 PM ET
Who is "they"?
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:06 PM ET
Now that's a very educational post. Thanks.**
wwhokie1 • 04/24/23 08:53 AM ET
Do Strength Coaches weigh them?**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/23/23 09:07 PM ET
Probably depends on the strength coach and what they're trying to do
GCHokie34 • 04/24/23 10:48 AM ET
Well, someone assigns them weights because the player
RJHokie • 04/23/23 08:23 PM ET
And they're almost never correct**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:25 PM ET
Interesting info. **
RJHokie • 04/23/23 08:30 PM ET
Obviously, "they" is whomever is declaring the weights.**
SHPHOKIE • 04/23/23 08:18 PM ET
Then I wouldn't say they are so much "lying" as "guessing"**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:25 PM ET
Yep, some HOF players are proof of that**
tallahasseehokie • 04/23/23 01:54 PM ET
Kidd will play the 5 over Beran, imho.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/23/23 11:59 AM ET
Zero chance. Beran is a much better 5 (or 4) than Kidd at this point.
Zanderhokie • 04/23/23 09:39 PM ET
I disagree with your opinion. 100% Kidd will start. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:30 PM ET
Looks like it's a moot argument now. Beran rumored to be heading to Miami**
Zanderhokie • 04/24/23 02:20 PM ET
I think that Kidd's playing time will be based on his defensive progress
win-tech • 04/23/23 01:07 PM ET
Kidd wouldn’t get significant minutes for me unless he learns how to
Femoyer Hokie • 04/23/23 12:18 PM ET
Do you have a team Kidd may play for?**
st_andrew • 04/23/23 08:22 PM ET
Would you have kept Wilt Chamberlain on the bench? (Not that Kidd is
HokieEngineer • 04/23/23 04:42 PM ET
His form isn't fluid, but Kidd 59%, Mutts 61% from the foul line
1980VT • 04/23/23 03:48 PM ET
Kidd's FG% is 66% and Beran's is 42%
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/23/23 06:03 PM ET
Apples and oranges and also, defense matters**
vtbball80 • 04/23/23 10:38 PM ET
Huh??? They're both a 5 and they both play in Power 5 conferences.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:27 PM ET
Just sayin' it's not that simple.....
vtbball80 • 04/24/23 03:28 PM ET

st_andrew • 04/23/23 08:49 PM ET
I. will. not. thank. you. It's. a. valid. metric. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:25 PM ET
True, but he led the team. It tells me he helped the team.
1980VT • 04/23/23 09:05 PM ET
nope, Kidd didn't shoot 3's and isn't a threat from there.
1980VT • 04/23/23 06:27 PM ET
Yep! His overall FG% is 66%, not his 3 Point shooting.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:23 PM ET
I hope he significantly improves his defense during offseason and be able
