Rotations with Jaz Back

I don't mind Robert getting his touches each game. He earned it, and we are so much more decisive on offense than we were. Our possessions are miles ahead of where they were last year.
I can't believe somebody thinks Jared Homan was worse offensively than Jones. Wut?
I'll be suprised if we even notice Jaz taking anyone's minutes. He'll probably just fit in with adding depth and the extra hands just take the pressure off everyone.
Little here, little there. People being able to catch a breath and stay a little fresher. Should just work.

Did you know that Homan shot 43% his senior year and 44% for his career at ISU. Tough rebounder, good shot blocker, and good defensive player but his offense skills were limited. His last game was a monster game against North Carolina, 19 points and 20 rebounder, so most people only remember this game. Did you know that Sam Hill scored 21 points in sweet 16 game against North Carolina State in 1986? Is Sam Hill a good offensive player? Jones has pretty decent post moves that Homan or Hill didn’t have. Why is it so hard for some people to acknowledge that Jones has decent offensive skills? He has shot around 50% at ISU and over 50% in his college career.
Recency bias and bias towards shoon playing over jones. I think since the start of big 12, jones is down around 35% fg and he’s 1 for 10 from the field in the last two games with turnovers, fouls and defensive blunders (in the end of the Texas game, he came in just under 4 left and didn’t know where to be at on the defensive end leaving a guy in guarded under the basket. TJ saw it and took him out at the next dead ball). He’s serviceable in short spurts but we have a luxury of playing shoon who’s much better offensively and defensively than Jones, and also jaz when he’s back who’s is also better offensively and I’d argue defensively is just as good if not better. No one was arguing gonna vs jones until you brought it up that I’m aware of.
Because I've watched both play (as an adult). Homan was a better offensive player. Nothing against Jones though. He's probably my favorite player on this year's team.
I have seen both play as well (I was in my late 30’s in Homan‘s senior year). Homan had no post moves. He averaged 13.6 points/game in his senior year but he attempted 12 shots per game and his FG percentage was only 43%. He is a better player than Jones because of his defense and rebounding. He missed more bunnies than Jones and his FG percentage supports what I had seen. Please don’t tell me that he had to carry the load or take difficult shots like Jaren Homes is doing for this year’s team. Stinson and Blalock carried the load and took most of difficult shots.

FINALLY ZRF got through to TJ. Probably saved the season.
This post has nothing to do withi Rob Jones or Jared Homan. Please try to stay on topic.
The first time I saw this thread I read it as “Rotations with Jack Black” and thought it was some new series hosted by him. Now I can’t unsee it.
Ditto, looking forward to our new and improved tenacious D
