His defense is better. I'll give him that. It's still not up to BIG quality but he's making the effort. His transition D is still bad.Something is up with his play not only in that department but overall. His D is alright. Not great or anything but not terrible. In fact he's probably better than he was last yr at it. But offensively he's just off. His shot his aggressiveness at trying to get himself looks and just everything. I hope he can get in a groove here pretty soon we could sure use him. Plus when he's on he's just fun as all get out to watch
Do you know how many possessions per game they have this year vs last?As a whole the team is down from 18.2 APG(tied for 4th in the nation) last season to 14.0 APG this season.
Yeah that's fair. There's no need to sugar coat it. He's got a low ceiling with that.... Always willHis defense is better. I'll give him that. It's still not up to BIG quality but he's making the effort. His transition D is still bad.
JBo is known for being a gamer.If he is anything like the kids I know, he dedicates every spare minute of his life to Fortnight. Obviously these kids need lives too, but if I had to guess, he's gaming way more than he's practicing basketball. I dont blame him. That shit is addictive as hell.
We can't win with him at the PG spot. Not against BIG teams. A top 3 offensive PG on a 14-24 BIG team? No offense but I don't think you understand exactly what it is a PG is supposed to do.You don’t accumulate the assists he did just by sheer luck or being in the right system. He did this for consecutive seasons even though after his freshman year everyone said all of his assists were jump shots by Jok.
Is he John Stockton? No but he can be pretty solid at setting up others.
This year he has spent much more time off the ball, which doesn’t allow him to set up others as often. Iowa’s offense thus far hasn’t been as good as it was at times last year and JBo hasn’t looked himself.
I’ve always said you have to accept the kid for what he is, which is a Point guard who doesn’t have much ability or quickness to penetrate. With that said his passing and shooting had him as I believe a top 3 offensive point guard in the league last year. His defense is what it is at either guard spot.
I really think we need to get JBo back to the way he played the last two seasons which means he will need to spend the majority of his court time at the PG position. Connor has shown to be a pretty good backup and is expecially important in situations where teams are going to look to pressure us.

Thanks. That's interesting. I expect this season's numbers to go down closer to 70 per, by the end of the season but that's still not significantly different from last season.I'm not sure how accurate the source is but apparently 75.4 possessions per game this year vs 72.7 possessions per game last year.

I wonder how much lower the effective FG % will be by the end of the season. This year vs last. I'll bet it's 6 or 7% lower.I'm not sure how accurate the source is but apparently 75.4 possessions per game this year vs 72.7 possessions per game last year.

No offense taken. You’re the guy who said Juwan McCloud was the best Point Guard at PTL, and we all know how that turned out, so maybe you’re not exactly the point guard whisperer.We can't win with him at the PG spot. Not against BIG teams. A top 3 offensive PG on a 14-24 BIG team? No offense but I don't think you understand exactly what it is a PG is supposed to do.
I'm not always right about a player, after watching them for 1 or 2 games, that's true.No offense taken. You’re he guy who said Juwan McCloud was the best Point Guard at PTL, and we all know how that turned out, so maybe you’re not exactly the point guard whisperer.
Iowa has won big games against quality basketball teams with JBo at the PG spot, those mostly came in his freshman year. Iowa did give Michigan everything they wanted last year just weeks before that Michigan team made the national championship game.
I JBo the perfect PG? No I’m not arguing that.
So would it then be fair to say Tyler Cook sucks because his record is 14-24? Or is JBo the only reason we suck?I'm not always right about a player, after watching them for 1 or 2 games, that's true.
I think it's safe to say that I can let Bohannon's 14-24 (15-26 if you include BTT) BIG record as the starting PG, be my evidence on this one.
