SolariNatividad 208 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Great line today, though REBs are just meh. He's happy to let guards get easy REBs and just exerts on that end if needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) If you're going to beat him up when he's bad, praise him when he's good. Heck of a line. He would've had 3 blocks but they called a crappy foul on Brogdon, it was a pretty clear as day block. If this guy can develop consistency moving forward look out. I'm watching games and he's learning how to defend on the perimeter better. One area where he struggles is when he gets switched onto guards, he can't catch up with his lateral mobility so he ends up using his hands to push them outward and it gets him into ticky tack fouls. Potential with this kid is tantalizing. 52% FG, 9/9 FT, 2 3's, 31 / 4 / 2 / 1 / 2 I don't care about the boards as much as others, I didn't draft him for that, I drafted him to be a 1/1/1 beast.

Yeah it's funny, I see loose balls go right next to him and he'll just stand there and wait for Solomon or which ever guard to grab it. He could easily get an extra 2-3 boards a game if he didn't just let the guards take it right next to him every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hoop 381 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Balled out. Almost made it through the first half with only one foul. Just watching him, you can tell how gifted he could be on both ends. He can eventually be a great defender without fouling. Hope he can string together a good number of games without foul trouble Edited December 3, 2019 by hoop 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Since Nov 9th (13 games), Jaren has had 6 20+ point games, and 10 of those were 12+ points. In his last 4 he has 8 blocks, and he's hit 34 threes during that span. Baby steps. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I don't think I've seen this comparison before, but rebounding aside he actually reminds me a lot of Chris Bosh offensively. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xlosingmyedgex 298 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Man, when this kid is engaged he's a lot of fun to watch. Just gotta hope the foul stuff clears up. Edited December 5, 2019 by xlosingmyedgex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sfektz 94 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 With the coach giving him the red light to launch threes....is his fg gonna be closer to around 45% rather than 49-50%? His off shooting nights are really killer to fg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hoop 381 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 His %s shouldn't be this bad, he missed a couple routine paint shots that he often makes. But yeah highly doubt he'll be close to 50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benjamin1984 563 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Watching this game he still hasn't put it all together quite yet...but he looks a heck of a lot more comfortable out there then he did just a few weeks ago. Almost night and day. Encouraging signs. Edited December 8, 2019 by Benjamin1984 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How are you a PF that doesn't rebound? Kids these days I don't think it's just that he doesn't box out, because what I see is that he does box out sometimes but it would never lead to a rebound. So I looked up some stats and I found that NBA keeps track of player's total box-outs/game and how many of those lead to a rebound for the player. Here's an interest stat: JJJ is ranked 117/463 in box-outs/game at 1.9. It's not the worst. He's right there with guys like Lebron James and Anthony Davis who averages more rebounds than him. However, (excluding players with 0% rebounds from box-outs) JJJ is only at 6.3% chance of rebounding the ball when he does box out ranked 5th worst in the league! Maybe he should be more selfish and hunt for the rebounds instead of boxing out for his teammates to take the rebounds. Another interesting stat is that Jonas Valanciunas is 2nd in the league in box-outs/game at 6.2 despite only playing 25mins/game and 55% of those lead to his own rebound. JJJ should definitely take some lessons from him. Edited December 8, 2019 by YouSnoozeYouLose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benjamin1984 563 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I honestly just think he's a big a** guard. And that's fine if that's what he is. Everything about his game when I watch is that of a guard. He doesn't move like a big or play like one. His size and athletic ability get him the blocks of course.

Mikhov 574 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Settling down, not yet polished; but the comfort level is definitely way up. He’s attacking Gobert in quite a number of those plays as well, not just some stump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rabaak 351 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 His form on 3 pointers looks like someone from the 50's taught him how to shoot. Kind of Shawn Marion like. And around the hoop, most everything is from his left hand. Looks like the talent is there. Fundamentals, not so much. It will be interesting to watch his career to see if he can shore up his deficiencies and become a great player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
