Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

JJ

I think he gets a little too much shit for the hype that faggy jeans brought onto him which isnt his fault.

He was in foul trouble last night but when he was on the floor he was clearly disrupting passing lanes and playing really good defense. He is also pretty good on the offensive glass, the team suffers immensly in that category when he isn't on the floor. He was also a big reason they beat Oklahoma on Saturday.

I'm not trying to say he is anything more than a fairly average P12 player, but he does add an element to the team and is far from useless.

    I ripped him after Grambling (I know, ILTDT) but he has shown some steady improvement the past two games. Sometimes I need to remind myself that if a pro like D.Rose takes a year to get the rust off after ACL, maybe a college kid might need to have a month or so to have confidence to move again.

    He may never develop into anything but a big body that plays defense and has a very narrow offensive repertoire. But tbh, teams need a few guys like that. Romar's best teams have always relied on guards for the majority of the scoring anyways. I don't expect anything from him at this point. But if he comes out next year with the ACL injury totally behind him and is dramatically improved, I wouldn't be that surprised.

    I feel he just gets an extra amount of shit flipped towards him because of something Kim GrinoldsFS said.

    JJ is not going to be back to normal for him until next season. Everyone who has the ACL surgery says the same thing. You "can" play after 9 months, but you don't fully get everything back until almost 2 years. Much of that is likely confidence.

    Either way, if JJ can do what he does, IE hit that 15 footer, it will open up the whole middle for upshaw and the guards. It keeps people from sucking down to help when someone can nail that jumper from the key. It's no wonder that when JJ starting hitting his jumper how much better upshaw has been in the post.

    JJ needs to rebound, play defense and hit the 15 ft shot at the top of the key and it will continue to do wonders for this team.

    If only someone on this board had previously said JJ was a decent role player.

    Nobody took issue with that.

    It was you saying he was way better than Gant that was incorrect.
