good post player. They also have 6'7 Kamilla CARDOSO,6'3 Sania FEAGIN, 6'3 Ashlyn WATKINS,
6'4 Laeticia AMIHERE and 6'3 Victoria SAXTON. The trio of CARDOSO, FEAGIN and WATKINS
combined for 28.3 points/game at an astounding combined FG shooting of 76% in their first 3 games.
Points/game is meaningless when the coach is limiting time for players
and even points/40 minutes is pretty meaningless against much weaker teams.
FG% for bigs in these games is almost as meaningless.
To compare to our 4 big players (Brink, Betts, Prechtel, Iriafen), I'll use their Boston, Cardoso, and Amihere trio.
If you want to use their 6-pack of 6'3" or bigger, that will also include Watkins, Saxton, Feagin
FYI, our quad of bigs is hitting 73.3% (66/90) of 2-point shots in their first 5 games.
SoCar trio of bigs is hitting 73.5% (36/49) of 2-point shots in their first 3 games.
The 6-pack is hitting 69.4% (59/85) of 2-point shots in their first 3 games
........AND, our quad is hitting 41.1% (7/17) of their 3-point shots.
SoCar trio of bigs is hitting 20% (1/5) of their 3-point shots.
The 6-pack is hitting 44.4% (4/9) of their 3-point shots
Across the whole team, Stanford is hitting 64.5% of their 2-pt shots and 41.0% of their 3-point shots.
SoCar is hitting 60.5% of their 2-pt shots and 33.3% of their 3-point shots.

Duh.... You are using a formula that is biased for those close to the basket. Add in points, add in rebounds, subtract misses.

Someone like Jump who is getting a fair amount of points is still going to be hurt by her misses and won't get nearly the number of rebounds as someone whose hands are within 1 foot of the basket. No credit for disrupting passes, preventing the ball from going inside, shutting down the opponent's top scorer, etc.
