S.O.T.G. J.J.J.

I was pleasantly surprised -- actually, make that thrilled -- with Jajuan's defensive showing last night. He used his long arms and quick hands wonderfully and stayed with his man quite well. Plus, he showed nice instincts on when to gamble a little and when not to. That is definitely an improvement over last season; even in the few non-con games in which he got to play extended minutes, he often was out of position.

His offense shouldn't have surprised me, given his reputation coming out of high school, but again I obviously was very pleased with his efficiency and the variety in his game. Hit two 3's, slashed to the hoop, made FTs. Nice.

He is my stud choice but I don't think it's a landslide over Juan, who set the tone early, did a pretty darn nice job defending much bigger players and seemed much more in control while providing his trademark energy. If he had finished a little more often around the rim and hit a few more FTs, he easily could have been the stud.

As a team, the Warriors missed too many free throws though.  Must be all that practicing....

Easy choice.  Played well at both ends of the floor.

Hard to believe, but JJJ actually had 25+ four times in non-conference last year.  Though something tells me Cohen won't be limited to garbage time against non-cupcakes and completely benched by February.

Valid point, thanks.  I guess my recollection is more concentrated on the second half of last year's season.  I hope that you are right in your projection for non-cupcake time (though I suspect UTM was not a complete cupcake) and I believe you will be.  Cohen certainly did look poised, and his offensive production late in the game was great to see, as well.

Teve and J Cubed sat at the end of last season because Bertrand knew they were gone. Hill and Harris were slotted to slide into their spots. It was no surprise when JJJ decided to stay that Hill asked for his release to follow Buzz.

JJJ looked really good in the Fullerton game last year. Quality minutes didn't follow.

Give the people what they want! Trey J as SOTG!
