backwards
Ken Pomeroy's analysis is always interesting (and usually right) because he reaches his conclusions based upon hard data. But in his latest post he seems to reach hard data from his conclusions.Maybe Vytas Danelius won't live up to expectations and return from an injury-riddled junior season to make a significant contribution for Wake Forest. But Ken's observation that last year the Deamon Deacons went 2-3 in the games where Danelius played the most and 4-1 when he played the least doesn't really cut against the reasons Skip Prosser is eager for Vytas' return. Namely (a) that Danelius was a workhorse this summer, improving his post play and conditioning, and (b) that Danelius has fully recovered from the injuries that slowed him throughout last season (including the games cited by Pomeroy).
