Yep, he played a solid role last year. He doesn't take bad shots, plays good defense, is a good rebounder, doesn't turn the ball over, and is a good ball handler.

Good point. Not sure about his high school career though, he might be neck and neck with your AD on that one.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose. Connor would have been terrible on last year's team tho, and might not have seen the floor much. He's only as good as the guys he can throw the ball to.
Ya I’m sure he wouldn’t have stole zions/grills minutes...You said he wouldn’t see the floor at another p6 school, when in fact he would have at the very school we both root for. Was just a lazy statement on your part. He does things well that our team lacked and would have paired well with Tre/Bolton.
Really, really dumb post. Connor doesn’t shoot much and does a bunch of other things well, like having the best assist:turnover ratio in the country (you know, that stat that used to matter when Monte Morris played). Harris, JCL, and Bolton shoot similar percentages at much higher volume and don’t contribute anything else.

It mattered because Monte broke the NCAA record for one season as well as a career. He's also currently #2 in the NBA in assist to turnover ratio, so we sincerely apologize for not getting on our knees for Connor.
The data for A/TO that the NCAA uses for this record only goes back to 2008. Its a great mark set by Morris but its not a career record that goes back 50-60 years.
It wasn't in response to you, but yes Jordan and CJ's stats are much better than JCL and Harris for sure.
I read the article too.
That data only goes back to 2008 so sure, it's a smaller sample size than other records we've mentioned. But that doesn't necessarily make it any less impressive or unbreakable of a record.
Since '08, only one player, former Oregon guard Casey Benson, has recorded a single-season assist-to-turnover ratio that's higher than Morris' career average.
Morris averaged just over 1.1 turnovers per game for his career while dishing out as many as 6.9 assists per game in a single season. It's certainly possible for a player to average fewer turnovers per game or more assists per game than Morris but it's unlikely someone can do both.
Morris was a lot better player than Connor, but to say Connor sucks would be wrong. He played a solid role on a Div. 1 tournament caliber team last year. That is far from sucking at basketball.
Those who say Connor sucks are wrong. He's good at things and bad at things, just like a lot of basketball players.
Also, Morris was more than a lot better than Connor. He was head over heels, no comparison needed better. He was a top 3 PG in college basketball for 3 years straight and his freshman year he was one of the best freshman in the nation.
I know you weren't slighting Monte in any way, just thought I'd clear the air there.
But Connor seems to know what he is good at and bad at more than other players. He is a smart player that doesn't make many mistakes or poor decisions.
