Have you ever watched an NBA game? The way Jok is guarded when he doesn't have the ball is simply not allowed in the NBA. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

They also don't run shooters off of screens in the NBA like in college. Shooters stand in the corner and wait for the playmakers to draw defenders and pass them the ball.
And all that not that long after Pierre Pierce. YIKES.
My favorite thing about that thread is the number of times the word "clowns" is used. It's not even a good slam on us anymore especially since our program has been at a much higher level over the last 6 years. Get created for **** sakes, clowns is just lazy.
Will Jok have to guard anybody, or can he just stay on the other end of the court? Will he have to move without the ball, and can he put one foot in front of the other without falling? We'll know a lot more after pre-draft workouts.
Maybe Jok will get selected for the NCAA 3 point contest like McGee?
Edit: Not sure if you have to make the tourney to be selected?

It's the most reliable indicator of taverndom. Well, that or a Herky calf tattoo.
Your condescension is quite unbelievable.
If I went onto HawkeyeNation (gross- I wouldn't go pick fights with strangers on the internet) and told everyone there that I knew more than them about O-line development, I bet I would get some blow back, right?
Well, we here have been watching high level college basketball for years now. Not that NeanderBall you play in Iowa City. Just maybe, some of us know things about basketball.
Well that's not entirely true. Even if it were, that kind of proves my point.
I'll take the under.
Monte isn't a particularly adept passer? That a pretty unique take. Actually it's unique because no one else is dumb enough to say it.
I used to think you had some decent takes on things, even if I disagreed. You've gone off the ******* deep end today.
That thread is golden. Iowa State treats the Big 12 Tournament as their super bowl. Funny because one of my good Iowa friends openly admits how awesome it is that Iowa State fans absolutely take over KC. I'm pretty sure the number of fans that traveled to Indy and CA during the legendary 12-2 (not 12-0) was well documented. Sorry for having fun, dad!
Judging by what is going on over at JonMillerNation, he may still be one of the more level headed hoks out there. Just that time of year for Hok fan.
Lol. Being a fan of a successful team/program doesn't automatically mean you know something about the sport. Have you ever met an Ohio State football fan?
He was a terrible passer even as a freshman.
He surely racks up more than his fair share of assists. Doesn't make him a great passer though. He's fine in that category, but no better than your average back-up NBA point guard.
I love arguments about generalizations. They're spot on because every person ever is the same!
That's not my point. My point is that I, and most others on here, pay close attention to basketball. Not just the last couple of weeks in February when it looks like we might make the tournament.
