BTH Ratings: Lockhart proves value off the bench in win streak

BURN THE HORSE
We heard a lot in the offseason about the improvement of sophomore guard Taggart Lockhart. It’s been on full display during UALR’s three-game winning streak.
 
Lockhart
Lockhart turned in the best BTH Plus/Minus rating in Saturday’s 69-56 victory over SMU in the semifinals of the Hoops for Hope Classic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. With Lockhart on the court, UALR outscored SMU 55-38. With Lockhart on the bench, UALR was outscored 18-14.
 
That makes Lockhart a team-best +17 on Saturday.
 
The rest of the top five included:
  • John Gillon +14 (43-29)
  • Leroy Isler +11 (46-35)
  • Will Neighbour +10 (53-43)
  • James White +9 (54-45)
Isler was able to take the season lead by percentage points over Neighbour in Plus/Minus per minute. Neighbour still leads in Plus/Minus Per game and season. Isler is a team best +13 in the past five games.
