I really like Joe T. Im just pointing out he’s not our best defender. So don’t mix me up with that.
Regression of Bohannon's Sweet Shot
- Thread starter IowasLaw
- Start date
another post that aged well.🤣🤣when the games get bigger JBO raises his game.
another post that proves IowasLaw is the douchiest of douches.
IowaLaw majors in hot takes. Bohannon has stones. Not a perfect player, but he doesn't wilt against the good opponents. It doesn't mean he will make 7 3's every game, just he won't back down from taking the shot.
You are so insightful
You should really create more threads giving us your random thoughts

It's hilarious to see a bunch of hindsight warriors come out in support of Bohannan...not the day this thread was posted and Bohannan was struggling mightily after 3 awful games...but a week later after he has his best game in 2 years. Guys with major stones who went out on a limb like Gabe, TD, Herkey, Mick, etc. who make sports bets the day after the games are played and brag about it.
I'm happier than anyone that Bohannan had a big game against North Carolina. But let's not let facts get in the way. Even with his "great game," his field goal percentage increased to just 34%. That's ranks 10th on the team, behind Toussaint & the McCaffery boys.
Until Jordan starts hitting shots at a higher clip, it remains a statistical fact that his formerly sweet shot has indeed regressed...like Spencer Petras is not suddenly a star because he played 2 good quarters out of 7 games.

Bohannon is the recipient, and rightfully so, of a lot of late shot clock shots where the offense didn’t produce a good look so they let Jobo chuck because that’s a better look than nothing.
After hitting 7 threes in a game, i wouldn’t suggest doubling down on a regression. He closed out a top 20 team and always seemed to hit the big shot. Also creates so much goddamn space for everyone else. He might be our second most important player considering his ability to close games.

I have no issues with your random thoughts, in this particular case I just think you're wrong, mostly because those stats have to be taken into context.
And IMO as I believe I've stated either here or other threads, is that Jordan Bohannon will make his 3's at a higher % " when it matters". I'd take that even further and suggest he would be even more focused with a crowd to watch him do "his thing". His thing is burying 3's in clutch situations and making tons of free throws to send teams bye-bye with an L.
Nobody in College Basketball I would rather have at those times than Jordan Bohannon. The kid is $ when it matters.
I think that the issue is sample size. If you want to pick a sample size of 3 or 4 consecutive games, you can find a stretch in each of Bohannon's seasons where he was under 30% from 3. Freshman year, three game stretch where he went 3/13 from 3 (23%). Sophomore year, three game stretch where he went 3/14 from 3 (21%). Junior year, first 5 games of the year he goes 5/19 from 3 (26%). Later in the season, three game stretch where he goes 5/22 from 3 (23%). Last year, worst 3 game stretch he goes 4/15 from 3 (27%).
No hindsight required to know you are a giant douche. Your posts are always critical of players and coaches. Semantics and skewed stats aren't going to convince anyone. Stop being a negative nellie or find a new team.
Umm yeah but he was damn near 50% vs UNC. One could argue he shows up in the big games . That’s all I care about . He doesn’t need to be THE MAN every single night. When the games get bigger the better he gets.
And I want the ball in his hands late, with the score close.
“Big Game” Bohannan, who hasn’t even come close on any of his 3s today, just had one of the worst games of his career against the #1 team in the country.
Sure, he’s 13th on the team in shooting percentage and can’t crack 30%from the field, but his defense is an absolute embarrassment. The first half, Gonzaga’s 3 point ace was left WIDE open shot after shot because Bohannan isnt athletic enough or doesn’t care enough to contest his shot.
At least he told every media outlet who would listen how good he is. That has to count for something when you’re 0-9 from 3 in the biggest game of your life, right?

I can break down JBOs shot. Easy. He's rushing his catch-and-shoots. Seems to be working. He's not making many, but he's not getting any blocked.

much like Spike Albrecht there is a chance his hip injury ended his ability to be an elite shooter. 33 for his last 105 seems like a trend.
Hip replacement?? I don’t think that’s accurate is it? ... if so he has no business on a basketball court
You're right they weren't replacements. But they did shave off bone and reconfigure ligaments. Major surgery on both hips and it seems to be showing in his play.
yea wasn’t calling you out just couldn’t imagine hip replacement at his age and you may be right.... but he shot pretty well this year in other games.... we just didn’t shoot well as a team today
I didn't take it that way. I legit thought it was replacements. I think his shooting will be fine. It's his lack of mobility and quickness on defense and running the point that's a killer.
He wasn't the fleetist of foot before. Now he looks downright slow and it's a huge liability.
At least be accurate in who was guarding the guy who was taking the 3's. Bohannon was not responsible for guarding any of the guys taking the 3's in the first half. 5 were JW and one of those was a scramble situation, 2 were JT, 1 each for CJ, Pat and Nunge. The one on Nunge was a major walk that wasn't called. In the second half, 2 were on CJ and one was on Connor. Bohannon was not involved in any of the 3's today.

This thinking also led to josh oglesby playing. Worst shooting “great shooter” ever.
Oglesby has been gone for six seasons. Maybe it's time to quit beating that dead horse.
If you watch his shot, though, he is right on it. His shot looks very good coming off his hand, has great rotation, and is on line. He isn't missing by much at all. I think it will come around. He just need to keep shooting.
Wow - this thread is something else.
Prediction - Nudge, JBO, PMAC from the 3rd week of January will all average 10 pts or higher.
PMAC JBO - Out 1 year of playing time
Nudge - Out 2 years of playing time
(Another thing about the thread of Jack N. versus Ryan K. - Jack is holding his own)
