Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[TRYHARDER]

That's fine.....

Solomon averages 1 pt more. Ryan averages 1 reb more, more assists and a higher shooting percentage.

Both good role players IMO.

He averaged fewer pts too until last night. Sounds like he must have had a good game. Lived at the foul line and made them. Let's see if he can do that against a good team. I wouldn't take him over Kriener yet.

You think TS% is the only metric to look at to see if a player is a good offensive player? I look at multiple different things. Here is what I look at offensively for a guard.

14.7 PPG
106.4 OR (offensive rating)
55% TS%
1.2 OWS (offensive win shares)
1.2 A/TO

Lets look at CJ

11.1 PPG
130 OR
69% TS%
1.4 OWS
2.19 A/TO

Lets look at Jordan career

11.7 PPG
117 OR
58% TS%
2.0 WS (average over 4 years)
2.3 A/TO


Looking all around at these three players I'd say I would want CJ or Jordan taking more shots than Bolton. I think you have been pretty vocal about saying how bad CJ and Jordan are, but you think Bolton is super awesome?

I'm not sure why you're talking assists to turnovers with Bolton. That's not his role. His role is like Wieskamps not some walk on spot up shooter

 

[TRYHARDER]

Imagine averaging 15 ppg and that being "a decent offensive player"

Well it appears as if Bolton will be your leading scorer next season. Let's wait and see how that goes for you.

I hope you keep ripping on CJF for his entire career. It makes you look foolish.

He averaged 7.9 ppg going into last night. Kriener averages 7.8

He'll take a lot of the blame for the Fran fade I bet. Unless you think it's sustainable for a walk on to shoot over 50% from 3

CJ's a pretty strange target....even for you.

 

[TRYHARDER]

He averaged 7.9 ppg going into last night. Kriener averages 7.8

Just the same. I'll take Kriener.

 

[TRYHARDER]

CJ's a pretty strange target....even for you.

Kind of dumb isn't it. Kid's a player. Much more well rounded game than I expected.

 

[CyTwins]

Just the same. I'll take Kriener.

Yes Young averaged more ppg than Kriener even before his 27 point outburst last night.

I'll take Young. To pretend like one is way better than the other is pretty foolish though

 

[CyTwins]

CJ's a pretty strange target....even for you.

His percentages are going to regress the same time the fade comes. That's all I'm saying

 

[HawkJRP]

Lol insert Kriener gif

Kriener is better than Young and Jacobson. There isnt much there for you to argue otherwise so you just call it a wash.

 

[TRYHARDER]

He averaged 7.9 ppg going into last night. Kriener averages 7.8

He's clearly playing because Conditt and Jacobson are playing poorly.

 

[HawkJRP]

His percentages are going to regress the same time the fade comes. That's all I'm saying

Regress to what?

 

[CyTwins]

Kriener is better than Young and Jacobson.

No he's not though. Young averages more points and Jacobson averages more rebounds lol

 

[CyTwins]

Regress to what?

I mean shooting over 50% from 3 doesn't seem sustainable from a walk on

 

[Legend Hawk]

I'm not sure why you're talking assists to turnovers with Bolton. That's not his role. His role is like Wieskamps not some walk on spot up shooter

Why wouldn't you look at it, those are offensive numbers?

 

[TRYHARDER]

Yes Young averaged more ppg than Kriener even before his 27 point outburst last night.

I'll take Young. To pretend like one is way better than the other is pretty foolish though

You'll take him because you've got him. He's backing up Michael Jacobson for crying out loud. LOL. That says a lot right there.

 

[CyTwins]

Why wouldn't you look at it, those are offensive numbers?

And they're only "decent" lol

 

[CyTwins]

You'll take him because you've got him. He's backing up Michael Jacobson for crying out loud. LOL. That says a lot right there.

And Ryan Kriener can't start for a team that starts Joe Toussaint and Conner McCaffrey. What's your point
