Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 5009270, member: 6797"] I do think you have to give him credit for his improvement throughout the season. In the beginning of the season I was shocked at how poorly he was playing. But he kept after it and kept improving. Unlike a number of the members of our team he was always poised and played hard. He clearly took to Red's coaching and always looked to get the ball up the court. He has obvious stuff to work on. He needs to learn to dribble and shoot/finish with his left hand. His jumper is significantly improved but remains a work in progress. His defense is not good enough, especially when he has to go around picks. He needs to take better care of the ball and look to pass earlier. But JJ is a gamer and is invested. He cares and by all counts is a good teammate. He is young for his grade and is an elite athlete. Most of all he cares and plays hard. I think we will get another 2 years of out him which should be extremely productive. [/QUOTE]
