Get a pt. Guard

Not Jordan's best game last night - but I think the Williams/Bohannon combo can work eventually. Some people already have given up on Williams, which is a joke. I mean, some (like 56) basically called him a miss because things haven't clicked for him in his first season receiving meaningful minutes. Kids a sophomore. Let's give some of these guys a season of PT to develop in to players and consistent contributors. Fran has proven he can develop.

Oh, and people giving up on Jordan... well he's one of only 4 players as a Frosh ALL TIME in the B1G to have 60 3 pters and 100+ assists. Daniel Horton, Melo Trimble D Angelo Russell and Jordan Bohannon. Can we stop with "Jordan's not the answer" crap? He's 15 assists from passing Horner's Freshman record. Stop!

Williams has been absolutely terrible all year so if you're going to call me out on that after one game I mean come on. There's a thread saying he's most likely to transfer, even Dean who is a homer said he's been awful this year

Oh... there's a thread about him transferring? I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. Oh...In that case, yeah, he's awful and you are so right because a bunch of losers talk about a kid they've never met and have no clue what is going on his life is going to do. You're a giant slime ball. Williams has been playing better most of the 2nd half of the season and Iowa needs him to continue to get better to progress next season.

I just said last night I think Williams should be starting over Bohannon the rest of the way. He has a much higher ceiling. Everyone has said Williams has sucked this year and honestly he has, to call me out like that is bush league
 
Also - I have a lot of good friends who are NCAA hoop fans and I'll get text all the time with how much they love Jordan while watching games. I get it from my Creighton buddy all the time. "Wish we had a kid like that" - I hear from my friend who lives in Nebraska who's a big Husker fan - i get texts like "Jordan Bohannon is the type of tough player our team never gets". Other people recognize his game but then I come on Hawkeyenation tho

Yes and Dakich definitely loves Jo Bo. Dakich can be annoying and has his faults but he does know a thing or two about basketball.

He hasn't been terrible the last few games, the minutes he has played. If he can improve his handle and shooting by 10% each he could be really good.

Overall this season Williams has been terrible, even @deanvogs said that yesterday. Some of you guys just try to pick fights with me because you're bored I swear haha

So, if you and Dean agree on something after fighting about nearly everything for 4 months then that's your validation it's true? I swear the crap you'll use for defending your point sometimes make me wonder if your under 15.

Christian Williams has been terrible overall this season, I'm not sure why you would even try to disagree with that. Especially considering I said I wanted him to start the second half of the game yesterday in the game thread and said he should start moving forward because he has a much higher ceiling that Jordan

I wonder what some of these guys would have been saying about BJ during his FR season? He scored about 3 points a game that year.

JB is so much better than what we're used to having at the PG spot because of what you saw last night. He didn't even have a good game but when Indiana had to go to their foul game, JB helped Jok salt the game away. 6-6 on FTs. He's a tough kid, can shoot, and isn't afraid to put up big shoots. His defense will come around, it usually does with players like him that would run through a brick wall to win.

There is a reason Iowa has lost so many tight games and blown leads under FM. Because the last 4 years Iowa's two primary ball handlers were poor FT shooters and could never put the game away. Yes there's going to be some growing pains, he had a bad turnover late last night but he's the main reason I've been watching more this season. For the first time in a long time, Iowa has a legit floor leader and PG.

How were his free throws in the Illinois game?
 
If I recall correctly he missed two big FT. As I said, there will be growing pains. I do know this, He is a major improvement from what we're used to.

Not at all, Mike was a much better PG last year than Jordan is this year

and he's a FRESHMAN! The only thing you can depend on with most Frosh is to be inconsistent. Jok, Uthoff, White, Marble... all took 2 or 3 seasons to develop into the players they became, they didn't show up in IC ready to roll and playing like seniors.

maybe 20%, His midrange and outside shot needs a lot of work, with his slashing ability and pretty good ball handling, a reasonable jumpshot would make him a whole other animal to defend (Cook, Pemsl, and Williams are all in this boat). It'd be great to see Williams close out this season strong, he has pretty high upside. Would love to have him split PG with JBo a little more and allow Jordan to be a #2 at times.

Gotta admit, I was pretty down on Williams this year, but he's shown a lot in the last couple games. Really hope it continues.
 
One was a senior, one is a freshman. You do not know more about basketball then anyone. No one. anywhere, on any board or any level.

Which is why you will agree it was stupid to say Bohannon is a major improvement to what we're used to.

you think that's why you get picked on? really? You really don't know why? I honestly don't believe you know, seriously, your'e lack of self awareness is astounding.

ok, I agree, doesn't change my feelings that Jordan is a major improvement over Mike was as a Freshman and the fact that I believe that he will continue to improve and be the better player when all said and done. Please don't turn this into what you are trying to turn it into.
