JJ got skills that we need, he just needs to develop HOWEVER, I choose to keep AJ and OO over JJ and Bufkin if a star is available to trade for. The order is OO, JJ, AJ, Bufkin in terms of keepers. I love AJ but yall seem to be forgetting there was about equal time when he was really good and completely unplayable his rookie year. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers get some fudging due to garbage time early in the season. But he handles the ball much better than Dre....I'd never trust Dre to lead the break....you want the ball in Jalen's hands going down hill. To add to this debate, I will say that a lot of JJ's turnovers had to do with him being overaggressive or making poor decisions in passing the ball, not really with losing his dribble. I think those mistakes are mostly due to a lack of experience, however. With more experience, I expect his turnover% to improve quite a bit. As the treasurer of the JJ fan club, I am obviously more optimistic than most regarding his potential, although I will admit that he does have some things that he need to improve on... namely his three point shooting, decision making, and knowing where to be on defense. But I have seen enough from him this past year to be very confident that he'll improve on every single one of those facets. And we now have a coach that I fully believe will help unlock JJ to realize his full potential. And as I said before, JJ is the type of guy who can make a positive impact pretty much every game even if one part of his game is off, because he does so many different things well... I don't expect him to disappear in games like several of our guys tend to do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot more game changing moments than JJ. Both are good but I'm rolling with AJ, OO, JJ, Bufkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he hit the rookie wall doesn't mean that we didn't see enough to know that he has something. Sorry but he didn't get to spend his whole time in College Park.

There was a grade the trade the other day showing this with Dallas as the 3rd team and Javale McGee also coming our way. I suspect that was publicly floated to gauged interest to all 3 fanbases.

Popular Post thecampster Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I thing to consider in this OO vs JJ vs AJ conversation is how well the 3 of them played together on the floor in the second unit.

Popular Post kg01 Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 The thing I think we're forgetting in all this debate is all these players are ours. Like, right now. No need to acquire them. No need to pit one against the other. That's a good thing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of potential in Bufkin also, we just having had the time to fall in love with him. The thing that Toronto has to absorb in a trade is that he's a rental. We're not giving up the franchise for a guy that we're not sure if he will resign with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he joined the JJ club then. Maybe he should renounce his Crowder love before becoming a full member? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
