Title: Juan more time
Post by: Da 'Lanche on December 29, 2011, 10:17:49 PM
It may just be the bitterness of this atrocity, coupled with scotch-laden eyes...but, throughout the year, I think more positive things happen than not when Juan is in the game.   He has a good knack for the loose ball, rebounds well, and does show some promise on offense.  If judging his FT stroke is any indication, although arguable, his offense has potential.  The dude was a highly touted recruit and, at least to my eyes, shows some real promise and potential to contribute immediately.   Can he be any worse on the offensive end than some of our other talents getting major minutes?  I would love to see him getting more playing time (if healthy) and see what the young man can do for MU.  Perhaps this is just a wish to get more excited about our future than dwell on the bomb that just went off in the Bradley Center...but, next time he is on the floor...watch him closely....I think you will see some really great fundamentals combined with basketball "smarts", athleticism and intensity.

Keep drinking heavily...this may start to make sense after 4-5 more.  :D

I agree, he should be playing. Jamail Jones is always o-fer in the box score. What a letdown. Not even competitive

I actually just said this in another thread.  I think Juan was behind the 8-ball because of injuries, but he does need to see the court more...and I think he will.

Well, Jamail gave tonight what you would expect out of Juan at this point.  JJ had some decent defensive effort and grabbed six rebounds...in only 13 minutes.
