Comparing our Players with the Nation's Best

I've decided to take my NBA EFF results from yesterday's blog to see how the Villanova Starters stack up with a selected group of exceptional players throughout the Big East and the NCAA to give us an idea of what the EFF quotient means in comparing players.

EFF Leaders

• Tyler Hansbrough - 25.714


• L. Harangody - 21.083


• Earl Clark - 17.846


• OJ. Mayo - 16.917


• Roy Hibbert - 16.273


• Jonny Flynn - 16.273


• Shane Clark VU - 15.700
  
• Wayne Ellington - 15.500


• Scottie Reynolds VU - 15.455


• Derrick Rose - 15.182


• Levance Fields - 14.583


• Dante Cunningham - 14.364


• Casiem Drummond VU - 12.622


• Gerald Henderson - 12.364


• Corey Fisher VU - 11.222


• Chris Lofton - 10.692


• Reggie Redding VU - 9.091
  

EFF/M Leaders

1. Tyler Hansbrough - .8676
   
2. L. Harangody - .8161


3. R. Hibbert - .7047


4. Casiem Drummond VU - .6799


5. Shane Clark VU - .5509


6. Wayne Ellington - .5332


7. Gerald Henderson - .5231


8. Derrick Rose - .5138


9. Levance Fields - .5058


10. Earl Clark - .5058
    
11. Jonny Flynn - .5044


12. Dante Cunningham VU - .4802


13. OJ. Mayo - .4721
    
14. Dom. James - .4596


15. Scottie Reynolds VU - .4545


16. Corey Fisher VU - .4191


17. Chris Lofton - .3819


18. Reggie Redding VU - .3597

This gives a good bearing of where our guys fit in with big name players throughout the NCAA in terms of how efficient they are on the court. Tyler Hansbrough's out of this world 25+ EFF rating is something that few NBA players even have. Based off of this comparison I would say our star players stack up quite well against some of the best talent in college basketball today. Anyone curious as to what Tyreke Evans EFF stats will be next year? We can only hope.
