Sigh.......
So from what you have seen you think he is gonna shoot under 30% for the season and have a 9.1 PER or less?
I believe his shooting percentage will go up, not sure about her PER because I'm not sure how well he'll handle the ball and defend in conference play. To come at me like I was proven wrong about him so far this season though doesn't even make sense

No worries man, I was just trying to give you an opportunity to back track and save some face. We can revisit later, I'm confident you are gonna look like a fool when it come to Jordan......
Well so far I've been right so I guess we'll see. I hope I'm wrong

LOL.....you are wrong already, and it is funny that you can't see it.
I'm guessing you are going to put all your eggs in the PER basket then, because clearly he is going to do just fine at PPG and APG. What is the PER rating he has to get to in your mind to not be a bust?
Also you do understand that even the guy who created the PER rating said to take it with a grain of salt, because the defensive component is shaky at best.
You keeping bringing up his 7.7 ppg but don't throw in that he's only shooting 29% to get those points. You keep bringing up his 4.6 apg but don't throw in he already has 16 turnovers so far this year. Plus he can't defend yet at this level so exactly how am I wrong?
If only we had an All American on our team we could be as good as we were last year...
Completely agree, it's not perfect but it shines some light on people that only look at PPG
No kidding! I'd take just Mike back though at this point

Ok, what PER is acceptable then? 9.1 is not acceptable for you, and Mikes 13.4-15.3 is way more than acceptable to you as you keep using Mike as an example.
So if he falls short of Mike his Fr. year and have say a 12 PER, would he be a complete bust like you said he would be before the season?
I don't have a PER benchmark for him no. If we don't even make the NIT and are PG play is still a weakness then I'm going to say his season was a bust
I think a starting lineup of JB, Jok, Cook, Uthoff, and either Baer or Pemsl is at least as good as last year's starting lineup.
Offensively it may be just as good but defensively not even close

LOL, so now the whole team rides on Jordan Bohannon's play.....and not only that if the backup PG is a bust, then Jordan is a bust as well. I gotta say at least you are consistently an idiot.
BTW if we don't make the NIT it will be because Jok and Cook are beyond horrible defenders as well.....
Offensively it would be night and day better. Defensively it would be worse. But Uthoff's help defense covered up a lot last year.
If we don't make the NIT and PG is a main weakness wouldn't a lot of that be on the starting PG? Jok and Cook are really bad defenders but at least they're really good offensively

The game will be more difficult for Bohannon once opposing teams start taking away the things he likes to do.
Don't try explaining basketball to Deano. He's the guy that was here this summer singing William's praises as our new PG. Now he's singing about Bohannon. Bohannon isn't a PG any more than Williams was. And Deano is jumping all over Bohannon's jock because he had 1 good game. He's gonna look pretty silly when teams scout Bohannon and lock him down. but Deano always looks silly when. It comes to discussing basketball.

I think Bohannon will get better. He's got a motor at least. I'd much rather have him at PG anyway. All things considered, I'd rather we just recruit some PGs.
