Best Development Staff: Southern Illinois
.
can someone explain this one? It's had me laughing for the last 1/2 hour while I checked the stats on all their players the past 3-4 years.
Sorry to sound so cynical, but Bradley has developed multiple players way better than SIU - guys like Mast, Hannah, Zek, Ville, Hickman, Deen, Leons, Ja'Shon, Roberts, Childs, East, DB, Koch - all developing into league championship caliber players
The only really good players SIU has had over the past few years are Lance Jones & Marcus Domask.
Both excelled as freshmen and sophs then never got any better after that. In fact, in many regards, they got worse...
Domask never had as good of FG% or 3-pt% after his soph year and Jones likewise - got worse every year after his 1st & 2nd season,
no development at all!
Dalton Banks had a decent freshman year then his numbers tanked each of the next two seasons then they ran him off.
How about Trent Brown, D'Amico or highly touted Foster Wonders who even had a whole redshirt year to develop...(so did Mulia & Ebube)
and not one of them showed any hint of development...despite SIU sorely lacking and searching for a 3rd scorer to help out Domask & Jones.
D'Amico, Banks, Wonders, Mulia, Ebube, Brown all shot poorly and averaged 3ppg or less with non-existent rebounding - barely more production than their walk-ons... and these are their guys who have mostly been there 3-4 years. Where's the "development"?
