Myles was a much better passer. Cliff is now a better free throw shooter.In my opinion, Cliff has essentially become Myles. No offensive post game, poor free throw shooter, great rim protector, good rebounder. Both were/are big assets for the program, but so frustrating to see what could have been
Cliff missed the last short range jumper he took, and the announcers spoke about how that is the exact shot Maryland would love us to take.I know Cliff is desperately trying to advance his draft status whether NBA or abroad, but he actually made the last couple of his short range jumpers. Meanwhile, I don't think I recall ever seeing Myles take an outside shot. Although, I can't tell for sure yet if that's a good thing.
I saw a post somewhere speculating that Pike may be trying to get Jay Young to come back.Rutgers needs a assistant coach that can concentrate on improving the overall performance of centers .
They were very similar. Offensively cliff is a better scorer and Myles a better passer. Defensively Myles a little better rebounder and steals and Cliff a little better shot blocker. Myles more likely to get into foul trouble. Overall very close. This is Myles at ru. He wasn’t as good at ucla. Significant drop off actually.I think Myles was better.
Was he bad though? just seems like he didn’t get much run. 63% eFG, nationally ranked in offensive and defensive rebounding % and was a good rim protectorThey were very similar.

Look at his stats per 100 possessions yoy.Was he bad though? just seems like he didn’t get much run. 63% eFG, nationally ranked in offensive and defensive rebounding % and was a good rim protector
Sure, but that’s because he played 44% of available minutesLook at his stats per 100 possessions yoy.
Yes, our defensive strategy that year could be described as "four guys stand there and hope Ndiaye blocks it"Hamady Ndiaye’s absurd 14.51% in 2010
Kind of ironic since Myles had probably one of the most important failed rebounds in a long time.Despite Cliff having slightly better rebounding numbers than Myles, I am never confident that Cliff will come down with a contested board. Never had that feeling with Myles.
Myles committed 6.1 fouls/40 in 2018-19 lmaoMyles got into way more foul trouble and Cliff is a better offensive option, I will give the edge to Cliff
Mostly because they didn’t pass it to him, and when they did he would somehow kick it or deflect with his elbows. So technically, yes. He didn’t drop it much. He turned it over before he managed to grab it first.My wife says no brainer: Myles didn’t drop the ball. So there you go.
metrics (which are very flawed admittedly) has Myles a better offensive player. More assists, more OREB% and better FG%Myles got into way more foul trouble and Cliff is a better offensive option, I will give the edge to Cliff
He was also questionable that game because of injury.Kind of ironic since Myles had probably one of the most important failed rebounds in a long time.
(And I think Myles was great, this isn't a shot at him overall)
Cliff is a better dunker! hahaMyles was better
1. He did a better job defending most bigs
2. He stayed in his lane on offense and didn't demand the ball 12 feet from the basket
3. Was a much better passer
There shot blocking was even and Myles was also a better offensive rebounder
holy sh!tCliff is a better dunker! haha
Used very different. 27% of Cliff's baskets are dunks, Myles was 16%holy sh!t
Myles dunks 14-40-32
Cliff 17-93-73-39
Maybe i want to rethink my evaluation of Cliff on offense.
You’re not following. It’s per one hundred possessions you need to look at not per game. Per game is even worse.Sure, but that’s because he played 44% of available minutes
So he was 12 points and 18 rebounds per 100 possessions, which isn't great but that speaks to his low usage rate. My point more so is that he was he was still a solid rebounder/shot blocker and an efficient, albeit low volume, scorer.You’re not following. It’s per one hundred possessions you need to look at not per game. Per game is even worse.
Still a solid player agree but across the board his stats were down. If you compare Myles last year at ru to cliff this year they are very similar. Cliff to Myles at ucla it’s cliff by a landslide.So he was 12 points and 18 rebounds per 100 possessions, which isn't great but that speaks to his low usage rate. My point more so is that he was he was still a solid rebounder/shot blocker and an efficient, albeit low volume, scorer.
Cliff has a drop step but agree Myles drop step was more polished.Myles wasn’t much of an offensive threat but he had way better hands and a drop step that Cliff still doesn’t have. Also, Cliff can get pushed around Myles never did. I’ll take Myles…before he went to UCLA and disappeared with them.
What drove me crazy was so many of his fouls were dumb fouls out on the perimeter setting picks. He always spread out his legs too wide and couldn‘t stay still. He was solid in the post, better man defender than Cliff.Myles got into way more foul trouble and Cliff is a better offensive option, I will give the edge to Cliff
