Lewis is such a sore spot because of inconsistency. He often looks reckless on the floor, not actually contributing much of tangible value...until a game like last game where he helped ice it off the bench suddenly. That's not normal.
That said, he's still not a PG. He doesn't replace Hali anyway. The closest thing we have to that, for better or worse, is either Jackson or Nixon. Nixon handles the ball fairly well in honestly, it's decision-making and pass accuracy that gets him. Likes to try to force things that aren't needed.
The fact that Grill was offered by Tech, Creighton, Nebraska, and K-State. He's struggled for sure but has a nice looking shot and is very athletic.
Literally so good it's unfair to play him. Sitting out for the draft already.
Lewis has a PER of 20.7 and barely plays, crazy times. This PER stuff is fun.
In extremely-limited minutes. Think that's gonna trend up or down with more PT?
That's one issue I have with PER. It's hard to really evaluate for small contributors. It is nice to see trends for large contributors over time, but seems to be less useful for small role players and such. I kinda view it like +/- in that regard (although that one is pry even more volatile/not indicative of the whole picture).
I wouldn’t bench a guy who’s playing well, but Jacobson and Nixon have been by far the two biggest disappointments this season. Being a senior is basically the only reason Jacobson starts.
Yep, I agree 100%, but to some it is the final say for some reason.
This made no sense.
Connor is better than every guard in ISU's rotation other than Bolton.
What Iowa State guard can't shoot or defend? Jackson and Nixon can at least guard. Oh wait I forgot Connor averages 3 assists per game in his 30 mpg he doesn't suck right?
Their DRtg's are all within 0.5 point of each other and Connor is a better rebounder. Connor has almost a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio and is a better shooter than Nixon.
I mean I know you doubled down hard on Connor being terrible but he has turned into a serviceable player this year.
Nixon is awful and Jackson is not better than Connor.
Imagine having your best guard (Bolton) shooting 40% from the floor with 63 turnovers on the year to 61 assists. Bolton has the same DWS as Connor as well.
