I suspected from the very beginning he was drafted precisely for this role. Not a swing for the fences pick like Giles. Interesting that Vlade took them in the same draft just a few picks apart from each other.

RPM is largely a useless stat outside of your main rotation guys. JJ was in the rotation at the start of the season when he was in his slump.
Tell you what. You keep looking at stats. I'll just trust my lying eyes. If you cannot acknowledge the difference in him recently, there's nothing much else to discuss.
Did some just mention JB? MY FAVORITE KINGS PLAYER OF ALL TIME? how many likes can I give a post?
He started pretty bad, his play of late is very good. If you could make a split of the last 6 games I bet he is up near the top rather than the bottom of SFs.
Trying to get the poster you're quoting to admit something positive about the Kings is like trying to get a fish to dance the macarena.
Have you seen a Ever Spotted Quintana Star Fish? Those things can be amazing!
Well, If i were posting here a month ago you would have thought that I was a Kings hater with the comments I was throwing JJ's way. He has been garbage, but lately he has been showing what we all thought we were getting on that night
Don't assume I would have thought anything.
I don't base my opinions on a few comments. I tend to use an entire body of work to form an opinion.
I think that's exactly what we're seeing right now. There's been a difference in his body language IMHO that seems to show he's more involved and focused on being the right team player for our needs, something I didn't see earlier this season.

When ever I see Justin I think of Rounders. They have similar facial movements

Wouldn't it be something if our wings that can elevate us are already on the roster between him and Wenyen.

I'm thoroughly impressed with Joegers patience with JJ. I don't think it's out of necessity either. I think Joeger appreciates that JJ approaches the game like a veteran and does things the right way.

Great observation. Yeah when you have guys going about it the right way, you tend to give them a bit more room to work. He's got faith in his guys, and apparently there's a lot going on behind the scenes that inspires that faith. That's the sign of a really healthy culture change. Great to see.

Somehow, somewhere, deep deep inside me, I'm secretly hoping for Jj to splash some 3s and play lock down defense, somewhat similar of an impact to Prince in Detroit. And all of us will eat our hat with mutton curry. Til then, let's just hope for the best for our young super team.
Jackson comes with a pedigree. Coming off the bench and fighting for minutes has lit a fire under him. He has talent, but I am not so sure about his toughness and physicality. He could get stronger in the off season, which would really help him. Shumpert is really strong and has a lot of attitude, which is why I like him so much at the 3.
I just want to see his shot fall consistently. I don't believe he'll ever be "tough".
Booo... booo to you sir!

I actually think he could get tougher. Over the years I've noticed guys who made an effort to get into the scrum worried less about their shot, and voila! their shot got better.
I think of Kevin Martin, who never became "tough" but still managed to have a pretty productive career in the NBA.

There was actually a moment in the 3rd where I wanted to see him come in for Shumpert to calm things down.....Then Shump hit two huge 3s and the feeling passed. Definitely showing improvement in his ability to contribute

I like it but not totally sure I know what this really means in the context of a role player that isn’t asked to do much other than shoot when he’s wide open.
