Yes, these bigs do somewhat compare to what we have lost this past year (either by graduation or portal). Specifically, here are the metrics of our bigs from last year:

Player (Eff. Meas.) / Dunks (Total, Pct) / At-the-Rim (Total, Pct, Assisted) / Other 2-Pt (Tot, Pct, Ast'ed) / 3-Pt Jumpers (Tot, Pct, Ast'ed)

* Note: Efficiency measure computes the points over replacement per adjusted game at that usage. Higher measures indicate greater efficiency.

Clemson (Outgoing):
Ian Schiefflin (4.1): 20-20 (100%) / 101-164 (61.6%), 56.4% Ast'ed / 27-68 (39.7%), 37.0% Ast'ed / 29-85 (34.1%), 100% Ast'ed
Viktor Lakhin (3.0): 14-16 (87.5%) / 84-154 (54.5%), 65.5% Ast'ed / 42-78 (53.8%), 52.4% Ast'ed / 24-64 (37.5%), 100% Ast'ed
Chauncey Wiggins (1.4): 7-8 (87.5%) / 23-40 (57.5%), 65.2% Ast'ed / 41-87 (47.1%), 36.6% Ast'ed / 42-115 (36.5%), 100% Ast'ed
Myles Foster (0.5): 0-0 (0.0%) / 16-27 (59.3%), 37.5% Ast'ed / 3-7 (42.9%), 42.9% Ast'ed / 4-7 (57.1%), 100% Ast'ed
Christian Reeves (0.2): 5-5 (100%) / 10-16 (62.5%), 80.0% Ast'ed / 2-8 (25.0%), 100% Ast'ed / 0-0 (0%), 0% Ast'ed
Total Efficiency Outgoing: 9.2

Clemson (Incoming):
Nick Davidson (4.3): 23-24 (95.8%) / 94-134 (70.1%), 63.8% Ast'ed / 36-94 (38.3%), 55.6% Ast'ed / 46-124 (37.1%), 95.7% Ast'ed
Carter Welling (1.8): 30-37 (81.1%) / 92-154 (59.7%), 63.0% Ast'ed / 16-53 (30.2%), 18.8% Ast'ed / 30-85 (35.3%), 93.3% Ast'ed
Jake Wahlin (1.8): 9-11 (81.8%) / 44-70 (62.9%), 63.6% Ast'ed / 7-20 (35.0%), 42.9% Ast'ed / 27-77 (35.1%), 96.3% Ast'ed
RJ Godfrey (1.0): 15-16 (93.8%) / 58-92 (63.0%), 67.2% Ast'ed / 25-53 (47.2%), 24.0% Ast'ed / 0-11 (0%), 0% Ast'ed
Total Efficiency Incoming: 8.9

Summary:
1) Nick Davidson's performance the last two years compares similarly to Ian Schiefflin highlighting how wonderful it is to be bringing him in this coming year
2) In terms of rim protection (not shown above), Carter Welling averaged slightly more blocks on average than Lakhin last year (1.7 vs. 1.5). However, Lakhin had a pretty decent mid-range game around the free throw line, particularly when the play would break down. Welling's performance has roughly remained the same the past two years so it will remain to be seen if he will trend significantly higher in efficiency than what he has already done.
3) Wahlin does appear to be an improvement over Wiggins at least based on last year's performance. He made a large improvement from freshman to sophomore year so here's to hoping that trend continues.
4) Despite an uptick in minutes, Godfrey's best year statistically was in the 2023-24 season with us when he had an efficiency measure of 1.5. I love him as an upgrade to Myles Foster particularly given his ability to make mid-range shots unassisted relative to Foster.

While we have addressed the bigs, it remains to be seen how the guards will shake out. I look forward to seeing what our staff does.

Well we've certainly replenished the frontcourt

So do we have anyone who can consistently make 3's?
