Dodds has a short interview with Jajuan.    Lots of grist for lots of mills here.   If his play matches his confidence level, this could be a better year than I thought.

Love the kid's confidence.

One small quibble -- we don't have to go back to Al's early days to find an MU player who completely revamped his jumper during his time here. I mean, Vander did it, no?

Vander went from "godawful" to "serviceable."

I am expecting that JJJ's shot will be much better than Vander's was.

Vander didn't recreate his entire form IIRC. He changed his release point, which is no small thing for sure, but from the waist down he remained unchanged. It's interesting that JjJ is remaking the entire shot, including the legs which Steph has shown very well may be the key to being a good jump shooter.

Based on no visual evidence other than last year and shear hope on my part, we might be getting a Jerel as a senior type jump from JjJ this season. If we get that and we stay health, I feel very confident we're dancing in March 2017.

Best guess is Marquette West and we could have a B team, hey?

Excellent interview. I have always been a big supporter of JJJ and delighted to see the coaches are still fully invested in his progress.

JJJ at the 4. I like it aside from the obvious height issue.

If JJJ has added twenty pounds of muscle without it limiting his speed, agility, it shooting, then he's gonna be really really good.

If he can score a whole bunch of baskets, he's going to be really good this year.

I'll accept this answer, mu03.
