Joe Girard: Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia

[Cheriehoop]

He does have great range, but like all highlight tapes and high school player tapes, we never see the misses, turnovers or defensive mistakes. It’s why all tapes are really worthless.

In 29 minutes/game he’s shooting 43.1% from 3 ; and 52.4% from 2; 91.5% ft% ; over 3.2 assists, 1.7 to’s, 2.3 fouls, .8 steals ; 2.4 rebounds for his team averaging over 21 points/game. He’s leading not just his team but the top Lithuanian league of 10 teams in scoring. He’s doing fine.

That seems extreme.

Like a mosquito or roach. Nothing too smart or cute.

JG3 while being properly used at Clemson playing twice against Syracuse last year:

5-6 from the field (4-5 from 3)
4-4 FT’s
18 points

5-8 from the field (4-7 from 3)
7-7 FT’s
21 points

***I’ve said it multiple times, I so wish Buddy could have played the 3 position, Girard at the 2, while
Kadary ran the point during the 2021 season***

Did we just become best friends?

joe always got unneeded hate … and one thing he has always been even post cuse has been graceful about his time here. he got pushed out by Red.

Red told him he wouldn’t be starting if he came back, Red never liked him. Same with symir, same with quadir.

Good for Joe those Slovakian women might kill him

Different country.

A belated amen to that.
Imagine if the Orange had actually bothered to recruit a point guard.

Buddy couldn’t be the 40 MPG 2G if JGIII was also a 2G. JB did a disservice to the team and Joe. Kadary was the PG we needed, but JB was stuck.

Gosh darn it dudes! JGIII isn’t Clemson. They hired him for a season.

Joe sounds so...formal now!

 

[Irishsecra1]

Red basically threw him away so he has the right to be either Clemson or SU.
But I didn't want to see him leave, so he will always be a beloved SU alum to me.

You get the sense a statement was drafted, either in English and then translated into Slovenian or drafted directly in Slovenian, and then translated back to English.

Many of the fans did if you read many of those posts, I doubt Red threw him away. Joe probably needed a new restart. Worked out for him.
