Jamil Wilson

Jamil was in the house

He showed up today and showed why some of us with overly high expectations for him.   He plays the rest of the year like he did against Pitt today and MU will be dangerous.   He and Blue played complete games.   And afterward, Blue called him the most talented player on the team.   

Did he ever.  And while the dunks were flashy I was more impressed with the way he hustled on defense.  One time I saw him double team a guy out at the 3 point line and when the ball reversed hustle down to the baseline in time to get a block on a baseline drive.  AND played extended minutes without fouling.  Didn't get his first foul until the game was pretty much over.  If Jamil plays like that MU will be a very difficult out.

Really liked the way Jamil confidently stepped into his shots when he was open but otherwise didn't force things on offense. He also was engaged defensively and on the boards.

As a result, Buzz rewarded him with 33 minutes, most on the team.

Jamil played well. I really think he is a guy who needs minutes to get into the flow. Was happy to see the playing time yesterday.

He can't get minutes when he commits 2 fouls 40 feet from the basket in 4 minutes of first half action.  Yesterday was a complete reversal of that.  I remember commenting when he got his very first foul very late in the contest.  and my recollection is that it was no cheapo.  Jamil played an outstanding game.  My sincere hope is that he continues to learn to use his feet on D.  Remember how Jae would get in quick foul trouble as a Junior and then blossomed?

Agreed. But I think even with quick fouls he still can get more action. He can sit on bench for most of first half with two fouls or play on. I think we better team with him on floor, especially when he is playing well.

When JWil is on his game, MU is a much better team.   But Buzz will not play him in the first half with 2 fouls.   Not when Juan and STjr bring the energy they do.

Can someone bookmark this thread? Because next season everyone will have raised expectations for him again. I have recently excepted him for what he is, 20-25 minutes and 8-10 points.

You should expect a player to better his game season to season. Especially when your the team captain and leader.
