The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Kris hasn’t played much because there isn’t much of a need for him yet. Iowa is stacked so it’s hard for the young guys to get minutes.
Garza is obviously a monster but this is Fran's best roster 2 through 9 he's had. There's nobody playing that shouldn't be unlike years past.
I was unhappy with JorBo early in the season, but he has been just a menace these last 3 games.
Completely agree his shot has started falling and its energized him defensively.
Fan boys was probably the word i was looking for. All their players besides Garza and Joe T grew up fan boys or legacies or coaches kids.
You must be ignoring all the Iowa fans i hear wondering why Connor plays so many minutes. My father in law, big hawk homer, says Connor wouldn't see the court at any other P5/6 school.
Your father in law doesn’t know much about basketball.
10 assists and 0 TOs last night.
If Iowa fans are saying that i am ignoring them. I have talked about his value on this forum before but essentially he's the teams pulse. If we need to slow it down he slows it down. If we need to feed Garza he feeds him. He's Fran on the court. Not a lot of players like him but wheb you have a talented roster he makes all the parts go. On a less talented team his importance diminshes.
Meh, it's 4 on 5 when he's out there. Good thing Garza can pick up offensive slack, he counts as 2.5 players on offense basically. Connor "works" simply because Garza allows for it.
He has been great. Needs to keep it up. A lot of those shots have been from way behind the line too.
It's like my father in law tells me, he's either red hot or iced cold. I'd rather have a guy that can consistently go 2-5 than a guy who can maybe go 4-5 but also 1-5 just as often. The problem with Jorbo is that when he's cold he doesn't know when to stop. There are nights he obviously has it rolling right off his finger tips and by all means he should chuck all night when that's happening. But on the nights when he starts out 0-3 or 0-4, probably let someone else take the shots Jorbo. Surprising that as a 5th year senior he hasn't learned this yet.
Not comparing JorBo to Steph Curry at all, but I've seen Steph Curry have many nights where his shot isn't falling, so should he stop shooting? Shooters always think the next shot is going to fall and that is what makes them good to great shooters in the first place.
