Here's a side-by-side comparison for Bayless and Jack's freshman seasons. Both were first-year full time starters.
Jack:
GS Min FG % 3s % RO-RD A - T Blk Stl Pts (Avg.)
31 31.7 97/213 .455 17/60 .283 16-94 185-106 3 51 294 (9.5)
Bayless:
GS Min FG % 3s % RO-RD A - T Blk Stl Pts (Avg.)
30 35.7 173/378 .458 59/145 .407 13-69 121-89 3 29 592 (19.7)
So, there's an obvious drop-off in steals, but that's not nescesarily a sign of a great defensive player (look at Iverson, he takes lots of risks) Jack is a spectacular student of the film room, and likely that can explain the difference. Another thing I notice is the rebounding. Bayless had better bigs to play with, but Jack has always seemed to have good rebounding skills. I would like to see how Bayless responds this year, since he's going to be asked to score less. I like him coming off the bench to start the season, provide some of the energy that Jack brought to that role last year (like Barbosa, or Stuckey, etc.)
As for the Assist/Turnover... I'm not sure yet. I can understand getting the ball stolen, even if he just put too much zip on some passes, that's ok. As long as he didn't step on the baseline. Right?
