Kyser's blocks

[skilldawg]

Kyzer passed the 100 block mark Monday night in the 14th game of his Sophomore season. He is in the top 10 nationally in shot block average.

He set the TECH Freshman record last year with 60, with limited playing time. He is 13 away from setting the Sophomore record.

Here are the career records for TECH.

1. Willie Simmons, 1981-1985 ............................ 268
2. P.J. Brown, 1988-1992.................................... 241
3. Paul Milsap, 2003-2006 .................................. 183
4. Michale Kyser, 2011-2013 ............................ 124
5. Magnum Rolle, 2008-2010 .............................. 123
6. Kendrick Spuell, 1998-2000 ...............................70
7. Randy White, 1985-1989 ...................................66
8. Antonio Meeking, 1999-2003 ..............................63
9. Karl Malone, 1982-1985 ....................................59
10.Louis Cook, 1985-1987 .....................................51

Although this is an obscure stat to some, it is amazing how often Kyzer changes a game by blocking a shot, or intimidating a shooter.
That is one of the great things about basketball. There are so many ways a player can impact the game besides scoring.
Mike has a unique talent that contributes greatly to the success of our team.

I think if we looked at the correlation of blocks per minute, the stat would be even more telling. Kyser hasn't played a whole lot of minutes in his young career.

I know that his blocks per 40 minute average is over 5.

The thing that intrigues me about his numbers is that he has a legitimate chance to set a school career record. The current block record has stood for 28 years now. Points and Rebounds (both Mike Green) were set 40 years ago. Assists goes back 27 years (Wayne Smith). The most recent major career record belongs to Gerrod Henderson for Steals set 11 years ago.

In addition, Mike also contributes a lot to our full court pressure with his speed, mobility, and length. He's truly a special player.

Simmons blocked 268! Wow!

One of my favorite things to watch for is when they put Mike on the inbound pass in the full-court press. It is amazing how often that we get a turn-over out of that set.
If we get the double team with Mike and Speedy, something good almost always happens.

Smoking Willie controlled the paint. I am starting to feel old. I saw every one of those guys play their entire career.

Starting? Hell you are old, almost as old as me!

I like Kyser, just wish he could actually score some points

[WWDog]

I'm amazed that Mike Green doesn't have that record. I guess he didn't block that many. But I do remember him blocking quite a few and even just taking them out of the air for a turnover. Anyway, Kyser looked good tonight despite the refs and had some nice blocks.

I remember PJ not scoring much his first couple years.

Good catch. Green likely would have the record, but I don't think it became an official stat until the late 70's.

Kyzer now 4th all-time. Pretty good climb to 3, but he is well on pace to get the career record.

How is Speedy looking on the steals list?
