Jacobson shot 34% from three this season. Its almost like everyone ripping on MJ never watched a game
That’s a dumb comparison solo barely played this year.. and in the years past prohm had a stupid philosophy of bigs being there only to rebound.. it took that first team half a year to finally pass it to a wide open cutting solo.
How long did he go in big 12 play going 0-? And then He hit a few wide open 3s to end the season.
As you mentioned, Jacobson is likely the starter if using the starter designation for which player on average is better. Jacobson was better than Lard this year and slightly better than what we’ve seen from Young. He’s not an every matchup guy, but neither are Lard or Young.
I think Jacobson and Young work better as a combination better than Lard and Young. Plus, Lard fouls so often that starting him is risky. Conditt and even Anderson have opportunities to move past these guys, too.
Isn't that what we want? For him to hit wide open 3s to drag his man out? How awful.
February/March 35.7%
Like I said in my earlier post Michael had a rough stretch, but still shot 34% for the season.
I will be very surprised if Lard is back at ISU next year. Just seems like this has played out as far as its going to and he will leave for what he hopes is greener pastures. I hope I am wrong, but its hard to see him returning. I have no inside info, just looking at the situation from the cheap seats.
Why did you reference a 5 man hitting open 3s as a bad thing. You want your center taking well defend threes?
27% isn’t good, but we’ve had similar from positions in which shooting 3Ps is likely more important. He really stopped looking for it, and the sample size was low.
-Nader as a junior made 25% in conference play, 28% overall
-Hogue made only 8 3Ps in conference play as a junior, shooting 30%
-Morris as a freshman shot 28% on 3Ps, making 10
-Georges shot 30% in conference play in 2013-14
But not including Ole Miss and the 4 tournament games.
It was 4/22. That’s a small sample. If he makes 3 more his percentage is better than several Cyclones that have played significant roles at the 1-4 spots.
Imo potentially Jacobson, Young, and Conditt could all space the floor well enough. Particularly Jacobson.
Didn't read the whole thread but Cam has huge upside. It would be good if he could go to a big man camp to work on his game and learn how to defend without fouling, set better screens, etc. Hope he stays and makes good life decisions going forward.
MovingTheGoalposts.gif. You said something that the facts didn't bear out, and now you're changing the argument so you don't have to acknowledge your own ignorance
So the one guy who consistently brought energy, effort and attitude is a non-starter?
They're English. They SHOULD be eating toothpaste.
Your post is a great example of recency bias. Lard is good for 2 fouls a minute throughout the season until he has 1 semi complete game and he's a first rounder. I LOVE this place!!!!!!
Thank you for your post. I too thought Cam was a Beast when in there. I hope he continues to make strides with whatever demons he is fighting. We all have our troubles, things to work on. I like Cam and look forward to seeing him next year.
The kid epitomizes attitude and effort yet we want to bench him for a guy who couldn't stay on the court for more than a minute or 2 BUT FOR the last game of the season.
You have to build a team around something somewhat consistent and MJ, IMHO, is just that. Upside? No argument but potential plus $5.00 only gets you a coffee at Starbucks.
Just from reading the same articles as everyone else this is my thoughts
Lard’s mom in very involved in his life. She wanted him to seek help and CSP assisted in getting him that help and keeping him on track. His mom, CSP and the staff from the wellness center are invested in this young man and will do all they can to support and encourage his success . keeping him in Ames is an important part of this plan.
Agree! I too hope Cam stays. Not only for basketball reasons, but I hope he has a great personal story to tell.
