yeah he does offer something. im not trying to bag on JT, really.

I am shocked by how ineffective he has been on offense though. against good teams. cheering for how he did vs cornell is fine and all but lets not lose sight of the big picture here: be actually a good tourney level team again.

lets be honest  - how many really care about the colgates and cornells? is that how far we have fallen that that is the new measurement?

we care about the dukes and uva's.

[I]against those teams [/I]JT doesnt have the athleticism to be effective offensively, from what we have seen thus far in his career.  benny does.

yeah perhaps JT is a better rebounder and defender...perhaps. (benny did have 4 boards in 14 mins in a recent game fyi)

If I wanna play with a Duke or Gonzaga, I choose benny though.  simply because he gives a chance to win.

Im not even necessarily saying Start benny...im just saying...going into the season everyone had benny as a starter for this exact reason: the team needs his athleticism and size at the PF spot.  ...if they wanna beat p5 level teams...

benny might not deserve to start, but JT hasnt shown he can handle the tier 1 squads. lets just acknowledge the facts, please.
