Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

Somebody should pull the numbers on how many defensive players get drafted in the Big 10 vs Big 12. I bet its a bloodbath in favor of the Big 10.

Instead, I looked at Pro Bowl numbers, because who cares when a guy gets drafted if he's a bust. The Big Ten had 11 players in the PB, and only four on defense (Cameron Wake, Cliff Avril, Ryan Kerrigan, and Joe Thomas). The Big 12 had 12 players in the PB, and seven on defense (Gerald McCoy, Von Miller, Michael Bennett, Aqib Talib, Chris Harris, Brian Orakpo, Ndamukong Suh). Unless I'm missing someone. Hopefully that settles the football argument in the basketball thread.

Jorbo is the definition of a volume scorer. That doesn't make him good. It just means he shoots a ton.

Morris, Mitrou-Long, Jackson and Thomas now all have a higher 3pt. % than Bohannon.

I think I saw somewhere that since conference play started, Iowa State is #1 in the country in 3pt percentage. Crazy.

For the win!

Iowa State Golf is way better at defense than University of Iowa Golf

Who is better in baseball?

You can cherry pick stats to compare players all you want. It doesn't mean that Bohannon is going to be some great All American player the next few years. I will be shocked if he does end up that good.

He's going to shoot a crap ton of 3s and hit them at an unspectacular percentage. Due to the fact that Iowa doesn't have anyone more talented to play the PG position, he's going to get some assists by default.

Trying to compare current Iowa players to superstar NBA players is just stupid. If Bohannon becomes the next Stephon Marbury I will eat my hat.

Read my post, I called it an odd comparison. I never said anything else and you are projecting here.

but JorBo is still a better shooter

What... Women's rowing didn't want any of this?

 

[HawkeyeMashup]

So all of the open passing lanes, lack of help defense, and rebounding are good defense? Niiiice.

I don't remember seeing who I saw PSU play but I know I wasn't impressed. Hate to say it but this is like football season all over again.

I'm sorry, maybe you thought those were my rankings. They are not, those are KenPoms rankings.

Well he did say drafted, which would be closer to their talent when coming out of college. Not 8-10 years down the road.

The Big 12 had like 18 players invited to the NFL Combine this year. That is sad.

Iowa State has some really good shooters and really good guards. I think we all know that, or least should.

Yet, they still couldn't get within single digits of WVU after hitting over 40% as a team and 13 threes? Doesn't bode well for a deep NCAA run. If they had a better inside presence, I would give them a puncher's chance to make it to the final four.

Its all young talent.

Pretty sure somewhere in this abyss of a thread I predicted Baer would win 6th man of the year. That should offset my miss on Christian. Though I do still think he'll be a matchup nightmare in the coming years.

God I would love to see what WVU would do to your all-star backcourt.

You realize WVU is really good right?
