JJ is AAC player of the week for 3rd in a row

[WAITE HOYT 2]

Love JJ and have since his freshman year because of the hustle and energy he always brought. Now it is all coming together. I do not think he will be drafted, but I bet he will play pro ball. Maybe even get a glance at the NBA. If Joakim Noah can do it with no offensive game, maybe he could as well.

Don't think he makes the NBA but he is defintely the feel good story of the year for me. I really didn't want him in the starting line up. How wrong could I be. He is a great defender and gives us just enough offense to make the other guys better. Wish he would have worked hard all 4 years instead of waiting until the last. Better late then never. Great season so far JJ.

So now that everyone knows about JJ's spin move, and the fact that he takes so long to create it, they're dropping a 2nd defender on him which stymies his offensive capability. Titus tried to emulate his move. Hope he gets his future shots off quicker without all the dribbling. He also played timidly the last couple minutes when he had 4 fouls. Mick needed to explain that if he had to be aggressive. He just doesn't play the same game if he's worried about fouling out. We needed him at the end. We didn't get him. All that said, he's our catalyst. I hate to see him on the bench. He may toss a pass or two away, but I love those rocket cross court, backhand passes. That takes strength and accuracy. Makes the team exciting to watch (and frustrating occasionally).

Having to be doubled teamed is a good thing. Last year they didn't even need to guard us. He also can go the other way and put up a shot shot with his left hand. Titus's problem is his pump fake which is very good but doesn't work because he can't hit a 8-10 ft shot. Everyone just sags on hm.
