[QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 873137, member: 470"]
JG has a decent upside, but his current basketball skills are currently lacking. Other than athleticism, what NBA skill does he have?  He's not an outside shooter, his handle is borderline weak, and I don't see any NBA caliber moves to get shots. His offensive game is basically lowering his shoulder and hoping for a foul/open lane, along with putbacks. That's not going to work at the next level, as it barely works now.  He's an NBA tweener too. He doesn't have the bulk or post game to play PF at a high level, and he doesn't have SF shooting or ball handling skills. I think that's what his biggest problem is going to be in the NBA.

I assume he'll leave if he gets the assurance he wants that he'll go high enough. But I think his best move is to come back and spend the summer crafting his offensive game, and being the go-to player for us next year. How many players have we seen wash out of the NBA because their skills never caught up to their athleticism?
