Also want to see how Kingsfan2002 will fit this into the narrative that JJ is the worst player ever. Most likely we'll just hear crickets until the next time he has a bad game.
it would be great, like absolutely great if JJ could play like this all the time. he was awesome last night, and has played better as of late. his mins and production earlier in the year were a disaster. he was a disaster. he was also a disaster last year.
Hes a G-league all-star and a euro all-star caliber player. Im promising you he will never be a starting NBA quality player. he's a role player at best with still much to prove as far as consistently.
he played BETTER defense last night.....but anyone that wants to argue with me about his defense in general should grab a note pad and tally up each time someone blows by him (and I mean right by him). I still see him as a huge liability and when his missing his open 3's he's unplayable.
I think its possible he could unlock another level to his game. hitting those 3's really opens up his floater. if he can stay in front of people and do all that he could be a solid bench player.
I loved watching him play last night btw. I don't root against him. again for much of the season before his last few great games he was garbage mostly. Lets hope for the better of the team and not have wasted a pick that he can, or has evolved. theres no dispute last night was awesome tho. just need to pump the brakes on this being a regular occurrence. he's definitely been trending up
