JJ

OK, let's look at turnovers. JJ has played 700 minutes, George has played 770 and Donnie 500.

George has 79 turnovers - 4.1 per 40 minutes.

JJ, who plays 90% of George's minutes, and often runs the point, only has 32 turnovers.
That's only 1.8 turnovers per 40 minutes.

Donnie, who has only played about 2/3 the minutes of either of them, has 38 turnovers - an average of 3 turnovers every 40 minutes.

Kiyan Anthony has a negative assist to turnover ratio. JJ has to be in the game because the other high usage guys are bad with the ball. Donnie, Kyle, Sadiq, they all have more turnovers than assists, too.

JJ is not a great player, by any stretch. But it often seems like he, Kingz and Kyle are the only guys out there trying to win games. I appreciate that.

Our guards are the biggest reason we’ve underperformed across the board.

Hated is way too far. Hes a great kid. We just want more, doesn't make enough winning plays.

No one makes winning plays for us. I want more from every single player we have. JJ is our only player that can beat their guy off the dribble.

JJ tries hard. It's nice that he cares.

He is also reason #1 that we have have not been a tournament team for the last three seasons. And Red not realizing that is reason #1 he will be fired after this season.

Honestly, if he could shoot the ball he's all ACC. But...

He is a very good but imperfect player. Lucky to have him

Correct and it’s also because opposing guards are just better than them talent and system wise.

You can be losing the matchup in the front court and still hang in games if your backcourt can hit 3’s or prevent the other teams backcourt from hitting 3’s or at least slow them down scoring or getting assists.

You really can’t be consistently losing guard matchups and expect to consistently win

Cal game shows again that JJ is a great guy and teammate. I know 80%-90% of the criticism about him has been unrelated but the suggestions otherwise have always been bs.
