BY THE NUMBERS: Breaking down NC State Basketball’s summer camp metrics

Will Wade spent over 40 minutes talking to the media on Monday, and one of the things that stood out most to me was the stats he was rattling off at the beginning of the presser.

Sure, he talked about things we are used to hearing about like assist-to-turnover ratio and 3 point percentage, but Wade showed us how deep his metric department is digging.

Check out these stats:

– On average, each kid reduced his body fat by about 2%

– We increased our lean muscle mass by about 7%

– Our lower body stregth, which is the metric that coorilates most with winning shares, we increased that by 65% (huge point of emphasis)

– We have an average deadlift of 772 lbs

– Increased our bench press by about 30lbs each

– Tracking about 3% ahead on our 3pt shooting

– 848 live 5-on-5 3s, shot those at 38% (3% higher than anticipated during roster buildout)

– 4 guys shooting over 40% from 3pt range.
