Sorry, I just watched The Accountant.
 
Yikes, Babb has a long ways to go before he becomes "very good". Hes a decent bench player for now but if we are expecting him to lead the team the next 2 years we are in deep trouble.

Not expecting him to lead the team, which is what I didn't write.

To think he may be very good is to say that he could be very good for ISU.

Read harder next time.
 
I can refer to them however I feel like referring to them. I'm sorry you are so offended by Babb is a decent bench player comment. Thats just the opinion I have of him.

Fair enough, I think he has some good potential and Prohm has even said hes our best NBA prospect. In a full season Ive seen him play to this point he looks like a solid defensive player off the bench who needs to be able to find his shot if he wants to live up to that potential.

Which, if he can get it to where he can finish at the rim, which I think he's good at getting there to begin with, he's likely seen as good, no?

Yeah, my issue is he doesnt seem like that good of a shooter in the limited action hes gotten. I think he has the lowest FG% on the entire team. He's pretty solid on defense and other intangibles though, just needs to figure out a way to score.

Is this serious? If so Prohm is as dumb as stupid Hawk fans saying Uhl had NBA potential. Both are laughable, especially with both Morris (might be a little small for the NBA, but I could see him stick) and Burton on the roster (who is absolutely athletic enough to play in the NBA, if he can get his head right).

I'd be willing to bet right now that even most Clone fans would trade Babb for Baer after next season is done. I'm not sure if it is a fair bet anyway because anyone with any kind of BB IQ knows Baer was much, much better than Babb this year and would have killed at as a 6th man for the Clones.

I'm sure people on the outside thought the same about his brother Chris and Abdel Nader. Can't help playing being 4 great players, 3 all-con and an honorable mention, plus DJ. We were just stacked, Baer wouldn't find more minutes over those 5 if Iowa had that good of players.

Yeah, Prohm was stated as saying this last summer.

Baer is a good 6th man I'll give him that, he proved to be in way over his head early in the season when Fran had him as a starter.

I dont know about his either, you guys just have selective memory because he played well during their 4 game winning streak. There were a number of early games where he was awful and even a stretch in the Big 10 season where he wasnt doing much of anything. He was solid, but I dont know if hes "much,much" better than Babb. You cant really compare them since Babb played far less minutes.

So you think Babb has More NBA potential than Morris or Burton?
 
Then Williams is the only one that has any BB knowledge around here.

Any ISU fan that wouldnt take Baer on our team is just saying that because they hate Iowa. He would have made us a much better team this year. He would have excelled in our offense with guys like Monte feeding him the ball. I doubt he would have played as much as he does at Iowa, but he would have made a hell of a 6th man in our frontcourt this year.
