What else do you expect?
TH playing for the Cyclones? Superman.
TH playing for anyone else? One of the Wonder Twins. Probably the one that usually turns into a bucket of water.
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

Just on eyeball test I'd rather have AJ next season especially with Williams coming on board. Williams+Green is going to be as good as Hunter+Brockington. I like big PG's too. Hunter gave up a lot of size. Defensively he was fine because of his speed, but he didn't do much taking it to the rack on offense. I thought he was soft in conference play.
Tyrese was also top 3 in not finishing/getting swatted at the rim. As in top 3 all-time that I've ever seen.
I think this is possible, but on the other hand getting a steal off the ball is almost always a function of good on ball pressure by a teammate.
No reason to think any of his options can’t provide this, but ISUs perimeter ball pressure gave TH lots of opportunities fore steals.
But yes, the kid has great hands and instincts. He is going to be really good on a good team. We should just deal with it and look forward to seeing AJ.
I thought he was a good actor, When I hung with him I found out that he is exactly how he is. He is totally strange. He acts a lot like a cross between George McFly and every other character. Never met anyone like him. Not a guy you would want to hang out with a lot. It was fun for a while though. Very odd guy.
Copium, in this case, is pretty sad. Trying to diminish an 18-19 year old kid, because he didn’t want to play here anymore. It’s especially sad when they use such a lack of basketball knowledge and understanding to do so.
Tyrese is a player.
Green > Hunter because cyclones > everyone else.
He is a good/great at certain things but he also has some major shortcomings, shooting is one of them. I will be really surprised if he shoots 35% from 3 in his career
Well hold on now -- Everyone knows TH is good, but losing him stings mostly because we saw the potential. He was far from flawless last year but had the physical tools to be a truly great college player. We've seen time and time again when players don't reach that potential, though. Losing TH represents losing that growth as an individual player and with the team, and that potential 3-4 year span of consistency at PG.
As for immediate impact, on paper to me AJ looks like an upgrade, but we really won't know until next year.
This team still won’t score enough points to be successful with AJ.
What they will do is be worse defensively
AJ Green is a difference maker. 2X MVC Player of the Year. Great shooter which is something we lacked. Adding AJ and the focus the opposing D will need to stop him will free up other guys for better shot selection. We will have a competitive team. Potential is there for more if we get more consistent shooting.
it’s a good thing you won’t be watching.
You’d be sad to see how all those games we won scoring less than 60 points, will become losses because we take a step back defensively
Wtf is your deal this morning? Tyrese is already gone. He isn't coming back. This isn't a choice for TJ. He can't pick who he'd rather have between Tyrese and AJ.
Iowa St has to move forward. AJ is a huge step toward being better, and you can't argue against that.
I think it's just people sick of seeing others brow beat a kid, that's all.
A kid who could have backed out of his LOI as soon as Prohm was let go.....
....a kid who as a freshman point guarded a mish mash work of players and helped TJ in his first year and Iowa State to 22 wins and a sweet sixteen.
That's all.
JFC just stop, we were ranked 5th on defense and 184th on offense last year. You understand that those numbers can balance out a little more and we'll still have a good team right?
