The Fran fade

We are seeing so many reasons for Jordan to not get more than double Joe T's minutes. I just point blank don't get it.
Joe has a lot of upside. He played well last night. He still has turnover issues and plays out of control at times. I like to see him with 21 minutes last night to JBo's 20.
 
It's not rocket science. Yes, Bohannon is limited athletically. No secret to anyone. They also play zone because that is what Fran likes to do. They always have and always will. It does help protect Bohannon. It also helps keep Garza out of foul trouble. They do a good job of mixing defenses.
What????

They have both been hot and cold. Guess you've only seen Joe T's good stretches and Jordan's bad ones. They have both had really good games and really poor games.

C'mon. I'm not saying that at all. But you and I both know Jordan isn't a threat inside 20' and plays awful defense.
 
Because that's what Fran likes to do? And we can all agree that strategy hasn't been really all that good correct?
You guys would all be killing us if we said that about Prohm.
Maybe that strategy hasn't been good but is it better than playing straight up man and making Luka work that much harder on defense? I like the changing defenses. Fran is an offensive minded coach and always will be. It's maddening at times to see them score so efficiently only to come back down and give up an easy basket. Take the good with the bad I guess.

Or just take away some of Jordan's minutes.....

What don't you understand? They play zone and man every game. Sometimes they press, sometimes they don't. They constantly change defenses. Even when he had his youngest most athletic team on the floor he played some zone.

Yeah, but he doesn't turn the ball over and can get super hot from deep and hits his free throws at the end of games. I like Jordan starting and I also like having the option of going to Joe T or even Ulis when it is a bad matchup for Jordan.
 
I disagree, Bolton is much more efficient from the field. Bolton 47% to Bohannon 39%

Why would you not use eFG% or TS% to figure out who is the more efficient shooter?

Just using FG% does not make a lot of sense considering the disparity of 2 point attempts and 3 point attempts between Botlon and Bohannon.

List Bohannon, Bolton and Connors eFG% then

Actually the zone with Nunge, Murray, PMac, Perkins and Joe T seems to be our best defensive set.

His 3pt % is the worst of his "4 main years" and he hasn't improved on defense.
