Only 2 of the 14 players ahead of him shot a similar volume of 3s and they were both at mid majors. So again best 3pt shooter in the country.
What’s best for JW is to come back and finish off his career at Iowa by going down as the legend who led the Hawkeyes to their first league title in 40 years, to a Sweet 16 in over 20 yrs, and being named an All-American. Then go play is Europe for 10 years making bank while seeing the world. Jmho.
Is he “Korver elite” as a 3 point shooter? (KK has been in The League a long time now...14 years?)
He will stay here until ISU wins at basketball again.... nevermind he will stay here no matter what. He craves the attention and cannot let it go that Iowa is better than ISU at basketball again.
I'm sure it's not Fran's coaching that makes him pass up shots. He's not been aggressive enough consistently
Are we sure CJ comes back? There are Twitter rumblings he’s looking to transfer. Who knows at this point who’s back and who isn’t.
They have to find some way to build back all the self esteem they've lost.
Sandfort may be an elite shooter but I don't think he as athletic as Wieskamp. How he transitions to college will be interesting.
No kidding. The kid's going to have a long career as a pro, and he absolutely has a chance in the NBA. As an Illini fan, it's plain as day, so I'm not sure how someone can root for the kid for his entire collegiate career and throw so much disrespect on a very talented guy that brought a workman-like demeaner every day. He's as Iowa as a player comes, and he should be celebrated for his contributions.
If people around Garza and Wiesy couldn't get points with the open looks they were given, due to teams loading up on Garza, how do you think points are going to get redistributed?
I thought the same thing but didn’t JBO come out and say he actually considered. Granted, I’m sure he was in the dumps mentally because of his hip issues but turned out there was some truth behind it.
There are no guarantees but the numbers Wieskamp put up this year a very comparable to Korver in college. You don't think the NBA requires great 3pt shooting? Have u been under a rock the last 2 decades?
You really think he can stroke it like Korver from NBA 3 distance? Honest question.
Korver is a great 3 point shooter...and was so in college...that is my point...KK is in the The League because he is a great shooter from long range...you think Weiskamp is of the same ilk? Korver was no “ slasher” in college like Weiskamp...he Was strictly a shooter at Creighton. I am no clarevoient but I see Weezy speaking a foreign language in his future.
I don't know, i think he has a real chance with his skill set. There are guys who seemed way less talented who carved out decent careers. It will mostly come down to a combination of opportunities/situation as well as work ethic. If it doesn't workout he will make a lot of money in Europe and he can still finish his degree if he so chooses. I just don't see how another year of college is going to help him.
They are closet ISU fans. Notice when you call them out for it they tend to not respond. Thanks for the kind words!
Aaron White was a pretty good player too. But top 4 is nothing to be ashamed of.
Wieskamp shot about 50% of his FG attempts from beyond the arc this year. That's significant, and so what if he is playing overseas in a few years? He'll be getting paid handsomely to do so. You really think another year at iowa is going to magically make him more prepared to play in the NBA?
