On a side note does it annoy anyone as much as it does to me when Jeter;) catches a pass down low, gets as low a possible, double handed dribbles, and losses the ball? Etc, bad outcome.:eek:

I haven’t watched jeter play all year. Is he struggling?
He's averaging 12.6 ppg and 7.5 rpg on a bad Arizona team. Second on their team in minutes per game.

The few times I've watched them, Jeter was still doing Jeter things: fumbling the ball on a catch, terrible dumb fouls, etc.

Arizona could have beaten Gonzaga in Maui, meaning we would have demolished Arizona, but Jeter got maybe the dumbest Technical I've ever seen, completely swung the momentum, game over.

Don’t play “everyone’s picking on me, because I’m telling the truth.” You straight up said he’s padding his stats and not worrying about the team, and it’s been your rhetoric all season.

Most everyone on this board has said there are times RJ could pass more, but your statement that was highlighted was idiotic and it wasn’t the first time this year you’ve made that insinuation.
Easy my man. "picking on me" lol what are you even talking about? Sorry I'm not on your side of the fence on this debate, but it's okay to have different opinions. I've never attacked RJ's character or integrity. I'm not taking veiled shots at the kid, simply questioning his play at times. You know, like most on here do with tons of other players.

Lastly, please don't quote me and then make up things that I simply did not say. I never once said or insinuated that RJ wasn't a team player.

If RJ would attempt to make the "correct" play like Zion does all of the time, it would go a long ways. Instead, it's more about putting up scoring #'s.

I’ll let you explain “it’s more about putting up scoring #’s” then. And please remember, I am absolutely keeping your comments regarding RJ’s selfishness from earlier in the season in mind.

So you admit that I never said RJ was selfish and wasn't a team player, correct? Just because I said he takes some terrible shots doesn't mean I'm attacking the kid's character. RJ has gone his entire life with being the best player on his team and I'm sure these same questionable shots that he always taken were the best chance for his team to have success. That is not the case anymore and he needs to learn and mature as a basketball player to make himself more productive and efficient. Like I stated earlier, much like Zion has.

Also, what's to keep in mind about my opinions earlier in the year? They haven't changed lol

Saying someone is more concerned with their own scoring stats than w/ the right play IS saying he's selfish and not a team player, and selfishness is a negative character trait.

That's not true at all and I explained that in my previous response to @dukehokie RJ has played like that his entire life and now has to adjust to make himself a better player. Sometimes it takes longer than we all want, but it'll happen and when it does we will be unbeatable.

If you're walking that back, fine.

K is cool w/ how he is playing. You aren't required to agree w/ the GOAT.

Walking back? Start from my 1st post and re-read them. K is the GOAT, no argument from me. Has zero to do with our differing of opinions on RJ but, preach on my man.

Your words are your words. I explained 2 posts ago how you essentially DID call him selfish and questioned his character. No preaching. More like teaching. "Walking back" or "rephrasing" or "clarifying" or "renouncing" or what have you, I can cut you some slack and let it go.

K's being the GOAT and approving of the way RJ plays has everything to do with how reasonable your characterization of his play is. You don't have to like it, but criticizing RJ's style is misplaced.

We can just agree to disagree. Have a good weekend. GO DUKE!
