Good start, but for this to have real value we need to get how our overall DAWG matches up against other teams.

I did this without looking at Method Man's list

1. Wade
2. Boots
3. Solo (potential to move to 2)
4. Carter
5. Garcia
6. Lawrence
7. Dockery (just look at him. Dude looks 21 and looks like a dawg).
8. Coleman
9. Marble (some nights he looks like a dawg, some nights he looks like a puppy so he's low because of those nights where he is lost)
10 Ringgold
11. Lee
12. Lindsay
13. Manny
14. Hefner
15. Leveque (looks too nice)
16. White (looks too lazy. Can't be lazy and a dawg).

Hmmm. I'm interested in that but also I'm very lazy.

Totally goes against the spirit of the thing, but I'd love to nerd it up with a quantitative statistically-based dawg factor.

First off, blue star for the attempt lazy or not.

I think Boots deserves a higher rating, he's the best rebounding 6'2" guard in America, baby!

I also rate Andersson higher, he's the best offensive rebounder we have and not only does he do the dirty work but he's a smart player too. See, you gotta add smarts to the Dawg factor. That's why Solo should be lower; he's super athletic but he's gotta avoid ticky tack fouls.

Henry is about the middle of the pack for me. He's got some great nights and then he has WTF, disappearing nights.

I'm not sure I'm ready to rank the Dawg Factor with the new players regardless of how they did before they came to A&M. They start fresh.

Somebody's gotta bring in the rear and Hef gets the nod for that. However, does he get a reprieve if he starts consistently making 3's this year?

I think smarts has no place in dawg rankings.

Yeah, absolutely not.

I gotta think our overall dawg-ness is fairly low for how good we are.

Well, it's a preliminary ranking. Agree with Marc, Marble sometimes disappears but I think he's got a high dawg factor

Marble has a high dawg ceiling but feels like we haven't seen it anywhere close to enough

You are probably right. He has a mean side to him which helps in dawg rankings. I think my rankings were influenced by me being annoyed he some nights seems to be mentally elsewhere.

1. Wade
2. Anderson Garcia. Just saying - that guy is a Dawg. He brings it.
3. Boots.

Everyone else is way more subjective IMHO.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

These are clearly the top 3 in my opinion

I've posted the advanced metric DAWG formula before. I'll try to dug it up.

Spoiler alert Boots actually edged out Wade and Garcia last season.
