Point player. He is head-and-shoulders above everyone else on the team as far as passing goes. One of the best in the country.Point guard?
34.8% since the beginning of 2020. 34.7% including the 2 early B1G games.If Connor can get his 3 PT FG% Up to about 35-36% - would pull defense out even further. I could not find his B1G only stats but have to think he might be shooting somewhere close to that given his momentum.
Yeah, he's a solid passer but he isn't a point anything this year and that's a big reason he is contributing more....might occasionally bring ball up floor but not being asked to be a primary ball handler which is good. He was playing the 4 before cj got hurt. His versatility his biggest asset IMOPoint player. He is head-and-shoulders above everyone else on the team as far as passing goes.

I hear what you are saying, but it sure seems to me that the ball is in his hands a lot in the biggest possessions of the game. That is probably indicative of being the point.Yeah, he's a solid passer but he isn't a point anything this year and that's a big reason he is contributing more....might occasionally bring ball up floor but not being asked to be a primary ball handler which is good.

He gets the team points mostly through other players instead of himself. That, to me, is the true definition of a point.Yeah, he's a solid passer but he isn't a point anything this year and that's a big reason he is contributing more....might occasionally bring ball up floor but not being asked to be a primary ball handler which is good.

I don't think that Conner's percentage is nearly as low as it looks. I would guess that he is shooting somewhere above 40% from the arc, in the flow of the offense.
Unfortunately, when the offense stalls and the shot clock is about to expire, a Conner 3-ball is often our best opportunity. And truthfully, he has hit a couple of those...but I am certain it hasn't been at a 30% clip.
Go Hawks!
I think facillitator best describes him. He's not really a true point "guard" in the way we think about some one who get beat defenders off the dribble, but he can set the offense in motion by direction, understanding angles, and being an outstanding post feeder. Not afraid to stick his nose in for the dig or tough rebound on defense either. He also has that "bring the fight to you" attitude thats been missing from this team for awhile. This team seems to thrive on that with CMac, Luka, and CJF as primary examples...Connor knows the offense as well as any player on the team. He can direct traffic, read the defense, and not only get the ball to the right player, but do it in a way that sets them up to make a play. He's like a QB that can throw his wide receiver open.
Connor did a radio interview yesterday where he talked about his role on the team. He plays some 1, 2 and 4, depending on the matchup and Iowa's personnel. He views himself as a facilitator first and foremost. He's a point guard who is versatile enough to play multiple positions. And that's extremely valuable.
Connor is similar to Magic Johnson.Point guard?

Connor=Gritty, takes care of the ball, good passer, looks to distribute and a good free throw shooter.
I know some like to see flash, but I will take solid with limited turnovers anyday over a behind the back pass.
The biggest thing I like about him as he takes no BS from anyone.
It seems every successful team has a guy like CM, and he's only going to get better
Great point. He can play 4 positions without even thinking.Growing up watching his dad's practices his entire life has given him the ability to play without thinking in this offense.
