Boomer: I like what the kid's shown us this season and he'll go down as one of the better guards to come through here if he does like Josh said and develops enough of a jump shot that defenses have to respect. Upside is that's something he can add to his game thru some work over the summer. Be interesting to see if he avoids the Sophomore slump that affected players like Thomas and others that have come through here the past few years.
His turnover average is what I meant he has half the turnovers to assist. Corrected thanks
But he hit some nice 3s in some games---When he gets the ball down low with his back to the goal teams double down and he turns it over---also because of his height he has been stuffed a few times---also the inside moves and shots that went in last year have just seemed to never have fallen for him----I think that he also seems to have lost muscle mass on his upper body I would love to see if there is an atrophied aspect because of less weight workout or a nutritional problem!!!!
And FYI. Raymone is one of E's biggest fans. He works with him all the time and supports him. He just wanted to win and Saturday I saw him going to the goal and trying to score yes his shot was off but he did not quit. He is always coaching up his teammates.
JJ has hit some 3s this season. He's shooting 37.1 percent (13-of-35) from 3, third on the team after McClellan (41%) and Mbamalu (40.9%). But JJ's perimeter game is not his strength, even when he's completely healthy. Operating on the wing limits his opportunities as a rebounder because he's far from the basket. (The same thing happened to Millsap after his freshman year when he wanted to play on the perimeter and become a shooter instead of focusing on his strength as an aggressive, physical 3.) JJ's health has also limited his ability as a defender and resulted in more turnovers while trying to create. Working at the 4 makes sense because he can stay in the paint defensively and get help from McClellan or Coleby against bigger opponents and step out from time to time offensively against a bigger defender while still holding a slight quickness advantage (even at less than 100 percent health). Whenever Coleby and Coleby aren't on the floor he could be the lone post.
