Gr8 points made...I actually came upon this by noticing his rebounding ability. I admire a guard that follows up shots and attacks the offensive boards. Kinda reminiscent of a Geron Johnson...(which is one of my fav's)
Speaking of throwing him in the fire early...this is incredibly significant as he has virtually been in the shadows of Martin, IMO...However, during the absence of Martin, JJ explodes onto the scene! Seeing that take place was pretty incredible as in, where has this been ALL year....
Reminded me of the year that Penny came onto the scene and Tony Madlock was the guard...There was a realization that Tony was the leader of the team, and didn't concede as much to Penny, although it was obvious that Penny was supremely talented. I remember shouting as Tony didn't seem to concede to Penny opportunities to run the offense by giving the rock to him
more often or in
critical situations...
I really appreci8 Jeremiah for what he brings to the team...Love to see him get steals as well as take the ball to the rack...His development has been gr8, to say the least.
I think that Jamal has that "it" factor as stated, the raw talent is there... We have a stable of guards that are
extremely dynamic ....It's gr8 to see their confidence beginning to crescendo...Question is, can this ALL culmin8 into a successful team and render W's throughout this post-season and get us to tourney next year.....THE TALENT
IS THERE....
