Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 571659, member: 1958"] After watching that game against Coatesville it looks to me like his highest ceiling is as a 2 guard moreso than as a 3, that is unless he grows a couple more inches. First of all I loved that play right off the bat where he beat his man back door and when he got challenged at the rim instead of just trying to brace himself for the contact, or avoiding contact to finish around the help defender, he just attacked through the rim and threw it down. It sounds like BJ has a great work ethic and as he gets stronger and becomes an even better outside shooter with work in the gym he can be a real nice 2 guard. I like his ability to stretch the floor. I know he didn't shoot well that game from 3 but he had nice touch and it looked good coming out of his hand with nice form/release which suggests that with work he can really become a lethal knockdown threat from deep. As mentioned earlier by some he didn't seem real aggressive in terms of attacking off the dribble much but when he did he looked pretty good doing it. As he gets stronger and isn't bumped off his spot on the drive as easy I think he can be pretty good at slashing from the wing too. The only weak point I saw was he didn't seem to really have a high motor in pounding the glass, which is why I think he might be better suited as a 2 guard than a 3 simply because as a forward you need to contribute rebounding quite a bit. He had some nice follow ups in transition or unsettled situation, but there were a few times he kinda hung out on the perimeter and watched. Overall I'm excited for him to get up here. He has a ton of potential and ability and with his work ethic I think hes going to have a nice career here. [/QUOTE]
