He didn't, which is why is was bottom of the rotation all year long. I'm sure he actually is a great outsider shooter. All indications are that he is. But, the game was too big for him this year. He'll get there.

I think the reaction is that, in a tough tournament weekend where the offense was harried and out of sync, Conner was the only one who didn't panic, didn't turn it over, and didn't pick up his dribble. He made big shots, sure, but far more important was that he made the correct pass. He appears to understand the offense far better than either tharpe or mason from a PG perspective.
And unlike both of those guys... Frankamp actually played PG in high school. It shows. He's much more comfortable shooting off the dribble than he is floating to the corner for a catch and shoot 3. I'd start him 10 times out of 10 over Mason right now and going forward.
