Getting JJ back in the rotation will only benefit this team long term.  It will take a few games to get the rust off, but he should be back to normal by ACC play.  I liken his return to when the 2003 team got Edelin back mid-season.  That team was able to get different players more minutes early and then only got stronger when a proven commodity was added to the mix.  Comparatively, JJ will be even more of an impact than Billy was because JJ has 3 years under his belt and is already a proven scorer.

I say Billy was a proven commodity because he was arguably the best HS PG in his class but got no pub or accolades because Morgan Wooten blackballed him.  But we knew what we were getting.  Heck, he only led his Oak Hill team to the mythical HS National Championship his senior year.  Billy was a phenomenal PG, and he was D1 game-ready the minute he stepped on campus.  We just had to wait 18 months to see him in action.

JJ is going to lift this team’s ceiling, and that’s why we need him back, whenever that is.
