Jordan isn't a good basketball player. If Jordan and Myles Stewart switched jerseys for a game the people on this board would be cursing at Lavin to never put him in the game again. But because Jordan is a 5 star recruit and can score 24 points against a scrub team like Tulane he needs to play.
I understand the depth argument, but if you actually watch these games, you can understand that Jordan is a huge negative when he's on the court.
Yeah he scores points, but how many shots does it take him to get those points. His points to field goal attempt ratio against good team is horrendous. He turns the ball over way too much and looks uninterested on defense. Lets look at his points to field goal attempts against good teams this year:
Minnesota: 18 points on 14 FGA
Gonzaga: 18 points on 16 FGA
Syracuse: 11 points on 11 FGA
St. Mary's: 6 points on 11 FGA
Seton Hall: 11 points on 10 FGA
Villanova: 2 points on 6 FGA
So tell me again how this season is lost without him but we have a shot with him? The favorite argument around here has been "well who would make up for his 14 PPG?" Nobody probably, but I guarantee whoever fills in for him wouldn't miss 10 shots a game and turn it over another 5-6 times.
Unless he actually starts to care again, which is highly unlikely. this team would be better without him.
