Named the player of the game in their win over Alabama.

It was a mistake to not get him to stay. There I said it.

 

[kuethstheman]

He was great!

 

[sufandu]

It's the first I've seen him play this year. He looked better than I anticipated. In addition to his shooting he did a good job of passing to the post.

nah. he still can't play a lick of defense. And on a team like this, even though we're not a great shooting team, athleticism and D give us the best chance to win. Neither of which he has.

Ahh there it is, the old “athleticism” argument. Let me know how JJ is doing for us and when he receives a Player of the Game award after beating a top 25 opponent?! I’ll let you bump this post when it happens.

I watched the last two Clemson games. JG3 seemed way more patient and looking to pass first. He played great floor games and was making great entry passes. I just think he fits a role there better than he ever did here. He’s looked good though, happy for him.

He's not a strength on defense but he didn't look like he was hurting them there, at least during the part of the game I caught tonight. If he was still here, he'd help us. Right now everyone on our team except Mintz seems to have a glaring weakness that we have to work around. JG3's would be defense.

Nah, while his shooting will be missed he was a major defensive liability. Wouldn’t be able to hang with Red’s defensive philosophy

You think Starling plays good defense? He might be worse than Buddy.

I like the guys that are actually on our team and that our coach wanted on our team. It’s a shame we can’t get behind the guys that actually play for us and obsess about guys who aren’t with us anymore

*cough*

Um no

There is no way you believe this

 

[cuseinseattle]

I wish him nothing but the best. Glad he isn't on our team

I love Joe. But we had to take JJ. He was a McDonald’s all American and a higher rated player than Joe, even in the portal. I’m not sure if we could have kept Joe of JJ was coming in. Plus we get JJ for 3 more years. The only problem is that Starling was supposed to be a good shooter, which he was in high school, and a much better driver than Joe. Hopefully the coaches a can fix his shot and he’ll start knocking them down.

I think he was always good on entry passes - he was the best player getting Jesse the ball. Wonder if Jesse worried about it?

 

[Orangefan1]

I’m sorry but I’d take Girard over Starling right now anyway. Starling may be hurt but he’s not even close to Girard

So you’d rather take someone for there rating rather then there results…… righttttttt

I’m not going to dive into the JG3 fray, but that’s a huge road win for Clemson that should help them at the end of the year.

 

[realorange]

If you read Joe's comments when he left and why, you'd see that he was ready to move on and happy about it.

He has been not good on that end thus far.

Why wouldn't he have wanted to, there was so much hate spewed at him? Haters win again.

Clemson is 6-0 and could be 7-0 with a win at Pitt on Sunday which if it happens will get them ranked.

I've always been bullish on JG3 but it's easy to see why he can be so polarizing. Clemson will be a tough matchup for a lot of teams and could really step up in an average ACC and Joe is a 5th year senior who could add confidence and stability to the roster.

I'd be happy if he goes off for 30 in the dome as long as we win.
