yep, this is where the "Doing it the Right Way" posters lose their argument every time. Fran was 100% okay with signing a felon. He and Barta publicly vouched for him. Their fans were totally on board with him. They were pumping him up all summer as someone who was going to be a big contributor for them. There was no trepidation, no second thoughts. They were absolutely fine with him being on the team. So, the whole "ISU has thug players" argument is pure baloney.
I just want to say thank you to Hok Fan for making this time of the year so special. Rooting for the 'Clones every year in the tournament is special but bitter hok fan provides the cherry on top!
Shooting percentages don't really tell the whole story. Just about every shot Jok takes is highly contested with guys draped all over him. Not the case for Morris.
If percentages are all that matter, I am sure you would also agree that Darren Collison is a better three point shooter than Steph Curry.

Let's not let reality get in the way. Althawk...you are a dumb ****
You have a point. I like to look at how players perform against elite competition in the NCAA tourney to get a better gauge of their abilities.
You're right in that Jok is not used to being defended like he will be in the NBA. That's because if he was defended in the NBA the way he is in college, the defender would be fouled out in about 30 seconds. The freedom of movement players are allowed in the NBA, plus the improved spacing, will make things a lot easier for Jok in the NBA than he ever had it at Iowa.
I honestly don't think he's any better shooter than Matt Thomas. He shoots and makes heavily defended shots all the time. He uses the bounce to get a shot up. Plus, Thomas plays defense.
In the midrange, sure, although some of that can be chalked up to poor shot selection. Jok has taken plenty of open threes this season. He just hasn't been all that accurate when compared to elite shooters.
Except that Steph takes 4 times as many 3's as Darren Collison.
Jok and Monte take similar amount of shots.
Jok is an electric player, but give me the steady production and overall game of Thomas any day. Jok can be really, really bad at times.
Rookies and bench players get a lot of freedom of movement calls in the NBA? Good grief.
