Even though I've been on the pro-JJ train in this thread, I wouldn't say this is true. JJ wasn't a great positional defender at Utah, Theo was much better across the board on defense except for rebounds.

Based on your posting history, I think that your basketball knowledge needs to be respected.  I guess I'd feel better though if I knew where your opinion that "JJ wasn't a great positional defender at Utah" comes from.

My comment was based upon that portion of the article where it said:

"Jayce is a very good post defender but I wouldn’t say he’s a rim protector.  He will not block a lot of shots but he plays very good position defense.  He is a big body, a 7 footer who does not get pushed around on the blocks very easily.  He was the best rebounder on Utah’s team last year. "

Also, a number of posters here last season made the point that at times Theo would give up his position under the rim to chase after blocks.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

JJ is twice the player Matt is. Certainly not a slight to Heldt, just the truth.

The TERROR set a high bar.

Part 2 of The Research Report on Jayce Johnson.

Goes into a lot of detail on his offensive and defensive capabilities

I base it on the numbers. Johnson's points per possession allowed was in the 18th percentile of all players. Meanwhile, Theo's numbers were in the 83rd percentile. Some of that can be explained by part 2 of the interview that said Jayce played with poor perimeter defenders...but not enough to make up for that big of a gap.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Glad to read that he is “approving” each year.  Dodds is the worst!
