Player of the week

[uniftw]

I think we will see AJ between 20-23 PPG at 45% from 2, 40% from 3 and 90+ at the line with 3-4 boards, 4-5 assists probably still 2-3 TOs by the end of the season

If he puts up that line he will get drafted this year.[/quote]
Outside of the assists and 3% he's there now

Am I looking at the wrong stats? ESPN.com says: 18.4PPG (30% from three, 90% FT, doesn't give 2P% but I'll grant you that one); 2.8 REB; 1.6 APG; 3.2 TO.

I'm have no doubt that he can be a great player in the Valley, but you're talking about Steph Curry numbers.

He was at 19.4 point ts yesterday before the game. His average fell a point because he only managed 15 points in 19 minutes and missed 2 wide open 3s that he hits way more than he misses.

It's not hard to believe he stays at the 19-20, or more range as he settles into the college game. He's there now and he's not shooting well.

His 3% will go up. He won't drop from 48% in high school to 30% on college and stay there. If that means just 1 more 3 per game he is at 21 ppg and 3 of 7 per game, or 43%. He's actually shooting 59% from 2 right now. I took his overall percent as his 2 point. He shot 60% in HS from 2. So 50-55 seems like a safe guess for college right now

2 more assists per game can easily show up as the team figures this system out and gets comfortable.

Again, other than the 3 point percentage and assists I'm already just using his numbers from his first 4 games.

I get it. He's a pasty white kid with white blonde hair and braces still on his teeth from Iowa that's playing at UNI. No one wants to think he can actually be really good. I get that That's fine. He is still the highest rated MVC recruit in a long damn time. He did more or less dominate the AAU circuit for 3 years. But he doesn't look like a dominant MVC player and he's at uni, a place that doesn't have a single player show like that. So it's not believable he can do it

[BEARZ77]

I don't think other Valley fans have any problem with seeing him as being a really good player, perhaps even a great Valley player some day soon.. What I see us doing is calling you on your need to exaggerate his current performance. Just stick to the facts, not the what if's.

I never said anything like that. In fact, I literally said I have no doubt he can be a great player in the Valley.

Austin Reaves hated his OU visit, UNI has a HvH lined up with Mizzou, Loyola is no 2010 Northern Iowa, and Loyola got so lucky K-State had their worst shooting night in a game they led by 23 with 9 to go.

Now there’s a conspiracy against AJ Green.

Yep, just another episode from the usual suspects.

Juwan McCloud was also supposed to be the next big thing for them that the Valley wouldn't be able to handle. Best point guard in league they said.

[MNPanthers]

Rational panther fan here. There's obviously no conspiracy against AJ Green, and McCloud was a huge let down. I can understand how we are rubbing you guys the wrong way lately.

We have seen alot of talent come through the program so when recruiting started looking stronger, we raised our hopes and expectations. Any fanbase would do the same in our shoes. No denying we've had some disappointing seasons of late either.

Things are looking much brighter now in Cedar Falls. The team is young and AJ by all indicators should torment the valley for 4 years. Could just be another letdown, who knows, but it looks promising. No other freshman in the valley is taking on close to as much responsibility and expectations, it's a role that's gonna take some time to get comfortable in.

Can we go back to hating on Creighton and WSU together now, or did we burn the bridge?

And he can shoot fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!

No, you have it wrong. It's lightning from his eyes, and fireballs from his arse!
