He's not though. He's a liability on defense and shooting 34% from the floor. Uhl and CW aren't playing well this season either.

and like 2 weeks ago Bohannon's % was about 22%, That's gone up quite a big in just a few games, you better hope that trend doesn't continue...huh?
I hope it keeps going up.

stay focused, we're not talking about Uhl or CW. I contend Jbo is playing well, cause I watch the games. I also believe that if the team as a whole played better defense, it would help him a lot on defense. 34% is pretty good, given where he shoots most of his shots.
He's getting better, too... you your chagrin

then what the hell would you post about?
It's too bad, really, cause I have no idea if you're really a Hawk fan or not. If you are, it may be worse that if your not...yikes....
Shooting 34% from the floor is pretty good? Haha you can't be serious

I know right? Shoulda dumped Jeff Horner after his freshman year too since he was less productive and shot worse. Horner will never have a record setting career.
Yeah Horner really struggled his freshman year shooting
Context is the key thing. I bring up bad parts of Mikes game in response to twins saying he was irreplaceable. If he didn't pretend point guard was so good last year that average would be a huge drop off this year, I wouldn't say anything about Mike.
But he was clearly a good shooter. Bohannon's percentage will always be lower than what he really is this year because of how bad he shot the first handful of games. The more games get played, the more his percentage will rise close to what he really shoots, which is probably close to 40%.
He's shooting 26% from the floor the last two games
And I will concede that Williams has been really bad. But remember a couple things. First off, mine was a prediction on who would be second leading scorer. The people who picked Uhl has just as wrong a guess as me. And speaking of Uhl, he is way worse this year than last. Things like that happen all the time in sports. Just because Williams and Uhl went into a funk this year doesn't mean predicting them to be good at the beginning of the year is dumb.
So?
I'm not sure why you expect his numbers to improve so much, it's not like he's playing well right now
He's having some good games and some bad games. Isn't that an improvement over what he was doing before he was a starter?
Yeah I mean I guess he went from bad to below average but he's been back to bad the last two games

Why not pick two other games where he shot even worse? Because that would matter just as much...
PC lives in the now so I picked the two most recent games.

Just so we're clear. Bohannon has better stats than EVERYONE on the list of freshman which includes the best since the 80's. Everyone on the list got better as they played their career. Yet you think that Bohannon is already a failure at PG and can't get any better. Got that right?
I never said Bohannon can't get better, I'm saying he's a below average Big Ten PG right now and one of the worst players on a NIT bubble team. People talk like he's been playing well this year when he hasn't been
