For those of you familiar with KenPom, you know that it’s a treasure trove of useful (and not so useful) stats and information. One of the deeper dives you can get into is player comparisons. Based on an elaborate weighting system, the site compares the seasons current players are having to players from previous seasons. It takes into account statistics, measurements, class, and a number of other factors to pinpoint the five seasons of previous players that closest fits what’s happening now.
Since this is the week that will never end and we still have two more days until Villanova Basketball returns, I figured we’d go through the team and take a look at who this year’s players compare to.
