What goes into the characterization of a basketball player being good?
Is it the amount of minutes? Points?
If those are the assessments taken into account, Vitaliy Shibel isn’t a good player for ASU. Among scholarship players, Shibel averages the second-fewest minutes (12.3) and scores the fewest points on the team (2.6).
Some say stats are overrated, though, and in Shibel’s case, truer words could not be spoken.
For some on offense, their job is to score. Others have rebound duties. The 6-9 redshirt freshman’s responsibilities are much more complex, most revolving around helping his teammates.
