I just looked all the way through my YouTube TV and can’t find it. Any replays or feedback would be appreciated.

Mars Blackmon "Floor Emcee" look is classic.

The PBP is terrible. Just misinformed and awful. Kristyn Peek who used to be at Rivals is mid but at least she knows a bit more of what is going on. Wonder if she'll contact Andrew Slater for all the info she can get?

Seeing the Officials in white shoes is trying way too hard.

Perform a search for Jordan Classic 25. If you don't do the manual search you won't find it.

AJ Dybantsa is not big on passing the ball
I haven’t watched that much of him but I’m not that impressed. He plays like a mid 2000s NBA player but is inefficient. He reminds me a lot of RJ Barrett.

I’m sure someone way more familiar can tell me how stupid what I just said is, but he’s not as good as Cooper Flagg to me.

I think he'll be really good and Barrett is a great comparison. Still needs to work on that shot.

Announcers are so bad. Just said Kingston Fleming decommitted from Duke 🤦‍♂️
Yeah, this whole format is second rate, including whatever they call that crap happening on the floor. After finally finding it on tv, I was able to watch about 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. Just horrid product and the announcer aweful.

Still worried about JJ getting on the floor next year because he is beyond terrible on defense. Doesn’t even try. He will be playing a second year for sure, unless someone can get it through his head to expend some effort on learning to play defense.

Expecting defensive effort in an All star game is a choice you can make I guess.

Dude, most of those guys tried, even if they weren’t great. He refuses to try. Most likely the reason he got very little run at the hoop summit, a game you play to win.

Say what you want about the Boozers, but they play to win, which includes playing defense. I have not seen that from JJ yet. Is it a product of OTE, because Dillingham was terrible on D as well.

We will see next year. I want him to succeed. I have my doubts. That is my opinion.

I hate that we missed out on the Cenac kid that's going to Houston. I love his game and his ceiling is through the stratosphere. He could really be special.

One of my concerns I have regarding JJ playing the point was his defense. He is rail-thin, so can he legitimately play good enough defense against SEC type PG's?

I don't know, AJ is special. I think he could definitely be better than Flagg.

I watched from the 18 minute mark in the 2nd half till the 3 minute mark. JJ did not keep one guy in front of himself. He did not really switch on guys much, he just stood out at the 3 (except a couple of rebounds, one which was taken away and scored on him). He just looked like he did not care. The announcer said something about him having a good first half (i am guessing offense) but do not know. I am hoping he is just not trying to get hurt and just playing the minimum he can. Others were the same way. Acuff looks like he is very fast but he is a horrible teammate at least on these events. He is a Cal guy for sure. Boozers had a bad game tonight, broke my heart, lol.

Tounde "Anthony Edwards" Yessoufou is going to be really special. Kid has that killer instinct and loves to compete. Them traits are rarer and rarer these days. Baylor definitely got a good one.
I like him a lot. Such an engine and feel for the game.

It isn’t his frame, he has a good frame and athleticism to be a good defender. It is his effort and technique. He doesn’t get into a proper defensive posture or slide his feet. He reaches after the offensive player goes past. Just a lazy way to play defense.

I think he will be ok defender with right coach

Just need to be taught by Pope, also need to add muscle. Pope really needs to modify Jasper's attitude in many details of game

At least he has bigger "size" than dilly/shep

I hope you’re right. He is as bad as Travis Perry and there is no reason for it. He has the tools.

Looks like no one ever teach him defense before....

Many details of his game are not good, he was not proper taught...

He is still "raw"...And needs Pope to teach a lot.
