Guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 That's because swingmen, more than any other position, tend to rely on their athleticism for their game. JJ does not. In fact, he is among the least athletic 2 guards in the league. His game is based on his shooting ability, great balance, and outstanding upper body strength for a SG/SF (which helps him maintain his balance despite contact on those little in-the-lane floaters. His skills are the type that age gracefully. Mrhonline was pushing the "JJ-is-like-Stackhouse" line for awhile. It was BS then, and it's BS now. And the fan who claimed to have inside info to that effect should be banned... +1 Additionally, Joe was offered 4yr/60mil from Hawks at the beginning of the season and didn't sign so the Bulls offering that makes no sense. After losing out on LeBron, and signing only Boozer(CHI) and Amare(NYK) I'm sure both of these teams would have been offering JJ the max had he not signed back with the Hawks.
