Josh Dix

Weezy is a tremendous rebounder with 42 inch vertical and great hands.
Haluska led the conference in scoring and was 1st team all Big Ten his senior season as was jok.

I just hope Josh Dix can be a contributing rotation guy his last 3 years.
 
I have to admit, if that number is true, I didn't realize it and it surprises me. He played more than his senior year. What were his rebounding numbers in the other years?
It’s linked. 3.5 as a junior and 2.6 as a sophomore. He was good at positioning for defensive, rebounds, fairly strong and had big hands.

Anyone saying Dix compares to Haluska has never seen him play in person. Haluska ran a 10 second 100m dash and was a long jump champion, Dix wouldn't break 12 seconds in the 100 and has good but not great jumping ability - completely different athletes. First time I saw him play I immediately thought of a shorter Uthoff.

Hence my point. Those are certainly not impressive board numbers from Jok career wise, especially saying he was one our best ever rebounding guards ever. He couldn't carry Joe W's "jock" as a rebounder, and did little until his senior year but try to score points.

Well he was a 2nd team all conference player as a Jr and 1st team as a Sr. and lead the league in scoring and also shot over 90% from the line. So while I would agree w/you that he struggled in his 1st 2 years he was good his Jr year and had a great year his Sr year by all statistical categories.

Lord, now you’d struggling. Some people can’t admit to being wrong. His minutes were pretty low his sophomore year and junior year, hence the lower averages. Weiskamp was a SF not a guard, so your changing the rules of the game if you include him.

Name me a better rebounding guard at Iowa than Jok as a senior? Or a better career rebounding guard other than Horner, who I already corrected myself in acknowledging he was probably the best.

Jok's minutes were not low as a junior, (he was 2nd team all conf) and basically theres almost NO difference in Frans system between the 2 and three spots. Most of those rebounds were on the defense end where their opportunities would be fairly equal. Don't know why I'd have to admit to being "wrong" Your voicing an opinion which I don't agree with. Thats all it is.

So you can’t name a better rebounding guard then, admit it.

I generally agree that Fran’s 2s and 3s are similar, but in Jok’s case he did a lot more ball handling than Weiskamp ever did. His senior year, Jok would have the ball in his hands every time the shot clock ran down. Weiskamp was strictly a jump shooter.

You took a cheap shot at Jok’s rebounding and you are obviously wrong.
 
Be careful using big words around here.
