BJ finally makes some shots

[RF2044]

Damn... been waiting for him to get hot all season long. Nice boost when we get SOME bench scoring...

 

[Finwad32]

good for you young man... I hope he goes absolutely enfuego... Nice to see him hit some shots and build some confidence.

 

[albanycuse]

He can play. Just has ZERO confidence right now. Hitting shots helps big time!

 

[cuseguy]

Yup, perimeter is open because everyone doubles Rak.

It's not confidence it's playing time. You can't hit shots if you're butt is glued to the bench.

Oh, I don't disagree. I don't think there's been a stronger BJ proponent than I've been these past two years. BUT, you have to put the ball in the basket, and there's been a lid on the rim all season long for him. He hasn't been able to buy a bucket until tonight.

BJ...

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

He's having a pretty bad game.

 

[Madbiker]

Law of averages has to kick in. You can't miss them all, can you?

No, unless you're Ron Patterson.

No, he isn't.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

No, he isn't.

At halftime, when I made the comment, he definitely was.

my expectations aren't that high

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Holy cow. Just did a two hour drive so I caught the last 10 minutes of the game or so. Holy cow! Well done young fellow.

Not really. He was playing pretty well.

 

[690West]

No, he isn't.

4/13. 2 air balls. Loved that he knocked down 4 threes though

Nothing like taking one positive thing for the kid and saying he's having a bad game. Congrats.

 

[NineOneSeven]

He closed on shooters with a hand up.

That's why he played.

Nice to hit shots, too. Would like to see some more pump fakes.

 

[longislandcuse]

It's only one game but imo, it just reinforces how important it is to have 4 guys who can shoot threes on the floor at all times. Having BJJ in over Roberson not only meant we had another 3 point threat, it also took Robersons would-be defender from out of the lane area which opened things up for Kaleb and G.

 

[pearl31]

besides the shots he knocked down...
he played really good defense tonight, as GoHam just pointed out - much better than Roberson was playing tonight

 

[CraigForth]

This kid is a sick athlete, a little confidence in his shot will go a long way. I'm very happy for him.

 

[SBU72]

I was thinking earlier this week that my wish for him was to give the team one game with a significant contribution. Well he did. Now lets hope for a 2nd, like this weekend.

Nah. Johnson played because BC was not guarding Roberson. Roberson hesitated when left wide open, and pulled the string on the shots he did take. JB put a shooter on the floor. BC didn't guard Johnson either, but he made them pay.

 

[bballbeadle]

So happy for BJ. Am even happier for BJ's dad!

 

[wadegarrett]

Really excited for this kid. He's going to fill out a little next year and get more minutes hopefully. Loosen up that leash and he will get in rhythm. He also has a good handle but is just hesitant to use it.
