It’s unlikely he’s a starter at any top SEC program other than UT. South Carolina? Sure. It’s his defense that gets him time for Barnes, but few coaches are as enamored with defense like him. It’s not as if he’s a master dribbler, penetrative or distributor. Scrappy kid, but not a starter. And let’s not forget that Barnes and staff were desperately trying to find a transfer for that spot.
I'm not going to insult your intelligence, but know I want to.
Bishop as a 6'4" 200+ Guard that can play 1 through 3 would start at half of the teams in the SEC, especially if he went to them out of HS.
Missouri, Georgia, LSU, Miss State, South Carolina, A&M that's the 6 that offered him outta HS along with us I think he could start at Ole Miss, Auburn and possibly even Texas as well.
6.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 2.9 apg shooting 50% FG and 42.6% 3PT on just 4.3 FGAs per game...his effective FG% is 58.9% which would be 4th in the SEC...
Barnes' system limits offensive production for every single player in it. Carr went from 4.8 ppg to 19.2, Freddie couldn't get on the court here and went to scoring 9.4 ppg at Penn State and now is upto 14 ppg.
To say Bishop wouldn't start anywhere else in the SEC is just dumb. SEC only has 40 players that score 12 points a night on average... 40 players for 16 teams and of those 40 only 19 have started every game they've played.
Bishop does what he's asked to do for Barnes and that's why he starts...he would do the same at any other SEC team and also be rewarded for it. You drop him in an offense first "don't worry about turnovers" system and he's putting up 10+ a night
