LT I trust your eyes. What u saw in the scrimmage. I hope JJ gets his mojo back. I see your point that Mick stifked his creativity. Then he kept trying to earn PT by scoring. His creativity needs to be left alone.I thought Mick made a mistake. The difference is, Mick now says he did make a mistake. We don't have to argue over what we believe, or over assumptions anymore. The coach has said it with his own mouth now. There is no longer an argument.
JJ's needs to guard and make better decisions. It starts in practice. Like everyone I hope he has a break out season but players need to seize the opportunity when given. Right now he needs to figure out how to guard at this level and improve his perimeter game and understand the players skill levels around him. Playing more minutes will help but those are earned. Getting him minutes early in games requires us to get off to better starts in games so the need to play starters major minutes every game is not a necessity. Not buyin the whole Mick held him back thing.LT I trust your eyes. What u saw in the scrimmage. I hope JJ gets his mojo back. I see your point that Mick stifked his creativity.

FYI many times during the season Mick said he wanted to get JJ minutes. He said he needed to get him minutes in first half BC it wasnt fair to JJ to insert him in a tight game in the second half w/o first half PT to get in a flow.

I think Mick would certainly like to get his subs more minutes. Lots of factors go into sub patterns. Also what the coach says to the press is not always reflective of what is going on with a player or team.I agree. He needs to work on a lot of aspects and I think he will obviously get better. I think where Mick did wrong was he kept publicly saying he needs to get JJ more min and never did.
