Always liked the guy because he plays hard. Imagine if he was well coached too. We’ve shortchanged him the last couple years…
Thought he was going to be a hustle guy on the 2nd unit but when Syd struggled and BHH went down he got those consistent minutes and he's started to show some things.
Tonight should be interesting with the challenge in front of him on a 48 hour turn around. Hoping he can keep it going.

Traynor with 16 pts, 3 rebs against Duke.
Stepped on Duke players foot and twisted ankle but returned to game.

The next step for JJ is he has be get stronger and becoming a better defender. He shouldn’t be getting lost as much as he does on defense. He is gets messed up on his rotations. I think it is simple lack of communication. He follows a switch for 2-3 steps then figures out he was supposed to switch.
Looked good offensively but the Duke bigs abused him when he was on defense. KP had to take him out and play Sid and BHH together for awhile.
Right, JJ plays hard but needs to put on some more weight and muscle. He gets manhandled out there sometimes, but also learning to play defense better in general would help him.
He obviously has the athleticism and length to make life difficult for opposing teams as with his key blocks in the Clemson game.
