Please don't disparage Sean like this. The only thing in common between Derrick and Sean is physical strength. Sean's defense, offense, and impact are light years ahead of Senior Year Derrick.
While I disagree re most of your opinions here, I’ll leave them alone because they’re beside the point. How good a team is isn’t defined by one player. Henry Ellenson led his team to the 97th best in the country per Pomeroy and no tournament. If you still think this team has no chance to make the tournament unless Sean Jones is our best player you’re just being stubborn and ignoring what’s happening on the court.
PJDunnAre you sure you want to go with that comp? I will give you that Mandy was a lockdown defender and Sean looks like he may be one down the road. I was thinking that Joplin reminds me of Dwayne Johnson in body size and how he works around the basket. Basically, when I see Joplin down low there is some body and style likeness to DJ.
Derrick was a very good defender, yes. Sean is absolutely elite.
Do we start calling Jop "The Rock"? Can you smell what he's cooking?
I call Chase "ATM"
Derrick was called for a lot of fouls his freshmen season. Jones is way ahead of Derrick when you compare them as freshmen.
Derrick had an immeasurable quality that Sean lacks
Rewatched the Baylor game.Sean is almost ready to get consistent major minutes. He's looked really strong the last few games and made all the right decisions.He single handedly makes it difficult for opponents to start there offense because he is a ball hawk and it is tough to get around him.
Agree. During the Baylor game he didn't seem to have teh confidence in the 3 pt jumper and definitely hesitated on some open shots. If he can get that confidence, I think he is "there" for major minutes.
Given ND only plays 6 deep rotation, I look forward to him hounding their guards endlessly.
Yep. Will be very interesting to see how ND handles the on ball pressure for an entire game.

TV Teddy will be there with his golden whistle, you can bet on it.
I fully expect my comment during the Baylor game about being amazed how Chase and Sean aren’t getting called for the touch fouls that every other MU freshman ever has been called for, to cause the universe to balance itself out in this one game…because it’s Madison
So, if we lose, it’s your fault!
