And yet, we are 2-6, with the second win coming after 7 games.

To the regulars on this board...please don't fall for this crap.

Don't let The Dude's man-crush of James Bishop cause you to go against James Bishop. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that James is a very gifted player. We don't need The Dude to convince us of this.

And at the same time, practically all of us excluding The Dude know that James has been a bit careless with the ball, selfish, and lackadaisical on defense at times. Yesterday's win was James's least selfish game of the year by far. And, we won it by 24 points.

All GW fans are rooting hard for James for his real success should translate to the team's success.

One additional advanced stat:Led by James Bishop, #1

Bishop picked for 3rd Team All A10, along with Ricky Lindo

Seems a little low, for a guy who led the nation most of the year in assist %

James Bishop, GW's first representative on the Preseason All-Conference First or Second Team since 2016-17

James Bishop has a chance to join the list of iconic GW Careers.
In his first season he averaged over 19 points a game, leading the league in scoring, led the nation in Assist % for much of the season

Year 2, he enters an A10 2nd team pre-season pick.
Next year, with an improved GW team around him would be a contender for Conference POY.

He was JC's first big recruiting coup, so if this thing gets turned around, he'll be the player most associated with the turnaround.

James Bishop was second in the league in scoring last season behind Bones Hyland.

In A10 games, he was 4th in the conference in scoring behind Bones Hyland, Jameson Battle and Taylor Funk.

Hope this translates into winning a heck of a lot more games.

The Dude · 11/02/2021 11:16 pm

I think his GW legacy goes in one of two directions, if the program isn't entirely turned around, he's a highly prolific scoring Guard on teams that didn't win much, ala Chris Monroe.

But, if the program is turned around....

I like Bishop. Yes, he was a bit of a ball hog last year, but I think that for the most part that was because he had to be. Battle was the only other player on the team who could consistently score. I look forward to seeing him play with some other scoring options. Hopefully that will be the case this year.

+1, DC native.

The Dude · 11/03/2021 6:26 pm

His electric quickness, and shooting touch combo is such a rare pair of skills, especially at GW.

The A10 Coaches and Writers have already picked him this year as one of the league's 10 best players, so really he's already a candidate, but more likely next year with a better team around him. Maybe this year if the team is a big surprise.

Wow, other thread, got a bit lets say, derailed.

The Dude · 1/29/2022 7:11 pm

At the halfway point, team MVP is?

I'd vote:

1. Bishop
2. JoeBam
3. Freeman

Bishop since the California Disaster:
90/203 FG = 44.3%
28/78 from 3 = 35.9%
17.8 PPG

Take out the first few games where Bishop was slumping and you can see he's been very solid offensively.

The Dude · 1/30/2022 12:17 pm

7th 30 point game for GW in the last 25 years

27.5 pts a game this week, huge clutch shots to power us to the win today.

Think today might've been Bishop's best game as a Colonial. Poised, hit clutch shots, didn't do too much. Played within the flow of the game. Love it
