You misinterpreted about half of what I said. I stand by what I said; playing teams that weak doesn't help the team get better. I just could understand the scheduling better if it were an in state school. I was not criticizing the team we played, just stating a fact that they were a weak team. I made no comment about not watching the game. I watched as always.
Well aren't you just a great UK fan? WTF? Wrapping Presents in November during a game?
He hasn't been really bad. He's just played like an average freshman. He's a step below the elite freshman in his class, but he's gonna be fine.
sorry I have a life and all you have is social media and watching games little man
The only thing he's not wrong about, is the fact that he didn't even watch the game, with the exception of one play, where JJ did something he didn't like.
Which tells me you're arguing with me without doing your research.
Jack I have a fine life fine wife. We actually watch games together. As for social media. I rarely post on here. I have no X no Facebook. I do have a YouTube account does that count big man?
He did average 5.8 assists per game last year while also setting the OTE single game record with 14 assists.
Yep he’s improving. Has good instincts. Will be fun to watch him going forward. Surprisingly good passer. I think he picks up on things quickly. Could be an outstanding guard with some added bulk. Shifty.
He looks way better, but he still takes awful shots and his set shot is broken. He seems to shoot better off the dribble. He needs to drive more because he’s crafty. His passing is improving each game. His defense needs a lot of work, but we need him in the lineup to be our best because he is one of the most gifted natural scorers we have.
That was never my point. I was not saying I want us to play guys like Bellarmine.
it was just an example.
It jasper is playing pg at that point the season is effectively over. I don’t see a pg in Jasper. He’s an off the ball 2 or 3 in college. Chandler is better off the ball but he has much more experience across the board. If Aberdeen is on the bench needs to be in chandlers hands. There is zero room for more mistakes.
Two very good freshmen. You can always nit-pick a player - and more than nit-pick EVERY freshman - but I sure wish Moreno could get that FT & 3-pt. shot form fixed. Maybe he will, but if he doesn't I think it'll always be an Achilles heel that simple repetition won't fix.
I guess you would disagree, but I think Johnson has good raw PG skills with his ball-handling and passing. It just doesn’t look like he’s used them enough in furtherance of a true PG’s role to be real comfortable. Before the season I actually thought those skills might make Johnson the best PG2 option. I wasn’t sure about Aberdeen in that role (although he did it for FL), but now, of course, I see that Aberdeen is the better option today. However, I think Johnson’s value as a pro might really benefit from him going all-in on becoming a PG – more lead Guard actually.
Johnson is not as good as John Wall in the first 6 games of his college career so he is bad and will never get better lol.
Johnson has the ability to get into the paint at will and he is a really good passer. He got into the paint quite a few times the other night and got some really good assists that ended up being easy dunks.
I agree. Using Aberdeen as a pg is not putting him in a good position to he his best. Jasper is showing some pg skills that indicate he will eventually be a pretty damn good pg.
Ha yeah. At it's root, fans want the team to do well. Johnson doesn't seem as good as his teammates or maybe some other freshman. He therefore is an impediment to winning and not any good. We forget that winning isn't just about throwing 5 players out there and balling. It's a process.
