Jop looks leaner already. I think he's gonna make a big jump

Double entendre?

His frame looks like he could put on a bunch of muscle.

Agree.  The defense won’t be as good but Shaka’s prediction that he could lead the conference in scoring might just happen this year.  Will be fun to watch the three point shooting fire works and some YMCA bully ball moves in the post.

If Jop ended up with starter minutes, that could be the case. I was really impressed with his defensive activity as the year went on. I think the majority was simply having far more active hands by the end of the year, which was evident in his higher steal rate (2.5%) in conference play than overall (1.9%). If he can translate that improvement to his man-to-man defense, he could be a positive defensive player.

Though for now, all of my expectations for next year still include O-Max. Just not enough indication that he'll be drafted yet for me to think he's gone.
When asked how he felt about Marquette being picked to finish ninth in the Big East, Tyler Kolek only had two words:
.
"F**k 'em."

Here as well. Who knows what the heck Omax is thinking and how his thoughts are influenced by family, friends, his agency, etc. I suspect a lot will depend on whether he gets an invite to the NBA combine (as Justin did).If invited, I suspect he is gone.
