PCTI 8 Team Strengths

Team Strengths – Ben

 

1) Offensive Firepower – This team has plenty of it. Remarkably, there are 5 players on this team who have gone for more than 23 points in a single PCTI game....Beas (29), Ben (29), Abe (24), Spot (23), and Hops (23). This doesn’t even include Donley, who has scored in double figures 12 times in his PCTI career. If this team can get it going at the same time, it may be tough to slow down.

2) Raining 3s – Equally remarkable, this team boasts 5 players that have made at least 5 triples in a single PCTI game, led by Ben (7), Hops (6), Abe (5), Spot (5), and Beas (5). Although Spotlight is the only shooter on this list above 34% from 3, it signifies that any of these players can get hot from deep and tilt the balance of a game. Quick note that Smo has played in 27 PCTI games and never attempted a 3 ball.

3) QuadPod – This group will either pull the team together or rip it apart from the inside. Looking forward to a good show either way.

 

Team Strengths – DK

 

1) Chemistry – This team likes each other. No egos, arrogance, or agendas. Just a bunch of guys who want to help each other to be successful.

2) Efficiency – Perhaps not as explosive as the other team, DK's group is full of players who produce efficient, consistent performances. BC is a lifetime 44% shooter, DK shot 50% from 3 in PCTI 7, and teammates Sabin, TP, and Bruise are lifetime 42% shooters. Even though Joe is thought of as more of an explosive performer, he is also in 40%+ club. If this team can produce consistently efficient performances, it will put pressure on Ben’s team.

3) Boards – I recognize that this is just my subjective opinion, but I will state that this team has the best two rebounders in PCTI and 3 of the top 4. My hope is that this gives us some extra shot opportunities and possessions to tilt the scoreboard in our favor. While the other team has consistent producers on the backboards, this should be a strength that could ultimately tell the tale in PCTI 8.
