JJ has been extremely disappointing in recent games, but the reality remains that we do not have guards so clearly ahead of him that we can push him to a reserve role and be a better team as a result. It all stems from Red. No structure to the offense holds JJ and all of our guards back far more than their skill sets. Red has to be the one to pull JJ when he plays like he did against Clemson and get Kingz in at the 2/more involved in the offense in general, but the problem is bigger than that.

If we are ranking guards by their ability to turn on the jets, dribble by a guy 1v1, and get to the hoop, JJ is likely our best (Kingz is close but he hardly ever does it). When your offense is the most total bs iso nonsense where you have a guy throw himself at the 1v1 matchup and hope for the best with no offball movement or sets, all of a sudden it makes sense why Red plays JJ. Attempts at iso buckets from JJ do not seem so bad when there is zero offensive system to make guys like George or Kingz more effective. George being not the best at creating 1v1 against a defender becomes a massive issue when our offense depends on 1v1 iso ball.

The bullcrap offense is issues 1-100 and a lot of these comments are way too focused on JJ when they should be directed at Red. I do not think the result changes yesterday if JJ plays 20 mins. Not with the BS offense we run.
