I agree with Glow and you on this....my fear right now is I see a little too much Dameon Mason in JjJ.  There is a ton of athletic potential there, but I'm not sure the basketball IQ is there.  I don't think JjJ has had to "think" through basketball, including last year, and as a result he has a good game when it's a less talented team or one that plays sloppy because it becomes an athlete game as opposed to somebody like Georgetown that plays disciplined team defense that will eat up reckless drives and not to mention officiating that won't reward bad drives.

I think Wojo is coaching him up and he will get better, I just hope JjJ gets that prior into running into the Big East wall.
I think the qualities that JJJ possesses cannot be taught. The defense and court positioning can be. I am confident the coaches will make the investment in time necessary for JJJ to realize his full potential.

2 more games and JJJ should pass his minute total of last year.

Needs to keep building confidence

I think offensive bad habits will be toughest for him to break because that's where his God given ability exists.  But if Wojo can get his defense up to a B against solid competition, he'll then be able to refine his offensive game.
