Judah would be better at the 2 than the point but I can’t deal with his lack of 3 point shooting. He’s so bad from out there, that it basically requires all your other guys except your center have to be 3 point shooters. JJ started off brutal, but he at least shot the 3 well in ACC play. Makes me think he can be upper 30’s on good volume from out there at least. My problem is with JJ, you can say anything about him and it can be awesome, his defense negates everything positive he does. I’m probably being a little unfair but, it irks me bad. Yeah, and I don’t understand it either…..he’s not fat, short, slow, or weak. Seems like he has the raw physical tools to defend. I’m baffled. It’s gotta be a bigger priority next year. And frankly, we need Westry healthy and Moore ready to play, so we have guys nipping at each other’s heels for playing time. Some improvement by Cuffe would help too. He defends fairly well….if he can shoot the 3 well and progress into a decent secondary ball handler, he will be a guy who deserves more time. That might be good for JJ too. Get after it on D or you’re coming out.

Where’s he gonna go? Not sure how a player posting a picture of himself is an indication of anything? But I’m no longer up on how these kids operate. I still miss the IG where people would post pictures of cool stuff they came across, with a filter to make it look cooler. Social media was more fun when it was super cheesy and stupid cuz nobody knew what to do with it. Look, my house looks haunted! Those filters were the best when they first started.

I don’t think so either, looks like it was shared and the original poster was a photographer who was a senior. Wasn’t disappointed by the thought of him leaving though. I was but mainly because I have zero confidence in us landing a big fish out of the portal. The "keeping it quiet" narrative about how we work in the portal is bull shit and I'll believe otherwise when we a transfer picks us over other big names. Outside of JJ, who is close friends with Red and his family, we got the worst center I've ever seen play basketball and a kid who I have zero reason to believe will ever be healthy enough for us to count on out of the portal last year. Maybe it's as simple as not having the NIL $$$ but I have been disappointed with our transfer work for 12 months. Wait, which of our Centers are you talking about here?? Not really even joking LOL

I’m not thinking like the Yankees, you don’t need a star at every position, but getting a steady point guard isn’t impossible, and there are so many good and decent big dudes around it’s weird that we have this issue. We don’t need stars. We have Maliq, we have Freeman coming in. Personally I’d rather have Judah back than Starling and throw Judah at the two and get a point. JJ seems like a super cool kid, but he is just awful at so many things, I truly hope he gets better and I’m rooting for him but his game is ugly. Judah would be better at the 2 than the point but I can’t deal with his lack of 3 point shooting. He’s so bad from out there, that it basically requires all your other guys except your center have to be 3 point shooters. JJ started off brutal, but he at least shot the 3 well in ACC play. Makes me think he can be upper 30’s on good volume from out there at least. It was such an up and down season for him. Once he stared hitting shots I thought maybe we had something, but he seemed to regress again at the end of the year. I still like him well enough. He doesn't look like a star, but definitely a solid four year dude if he accept that. Although I'm not sure anyone can accept that any more - why would they when someone is selling them NIL and a pipe dream? I'd bounce. His best shost is likely here though. Kid really needs to get better on defense though.

It was also better when each medium had its own use. The more they all become like each other, the more they all suck.
