Anyone worried about JG3 being able to handle ACC sized guards

[Melancer46]

Agreed. Class B in upstate NY is a long ways from the ACC. That’s a huge competition leap. I haven’t seen much of a left hand.

Those factors make me think he won’t be much of a factor off the dribble as far driving, at least in the short term.

His shooting and shooting range should translate well though. Good shooter, deep range, quick release and can shoot deep 3’s off the dribble with quick little moves.

His strength, competitiveness, and intangibles would seem to be a plus too.

Will be interesting to see just how well he plays as a freshman.

Yep, that's exactly how I see it at least in the short term.

Joe Girard is sometimes listed as 6'2".

It'll be an adjustment period for sure. How long? Who knows.

How do Girard and GMac's high school stats compare? Were they at similar competition levels or was GMac's school bigger?

I was in the seventh grade during freshman year was he also looked at asa defensive liability

Ok. Thanks. How does it compare someone like what GMac was?

No player past present or future will ever compare to Gmac.

I am worried about ACC teams adjusting to his range.
