It's still early enough in the season to let him shoot and see if the light comes on. If this continues to be a major issue we can limit his shots in crucial situations in the future. |

My point though isn't that KJ is a bad player -- I just don't think he's a shooter. However, he brings a ton to the table defensively and, as others said, moves well without the ball. I know Cronin has a tendency to let his guys fire away from beyond the arc, but just like Titus Rubles last season, I don't think he needs to be attempting 3's unless it's late in the shot clock. I do not expect his shot to drop this season. Sure, he'll make a few eventually, but based on his high school stats and watching him so far this season, he needs to work further on his jump shooting before he starts jacking up 3's in game. |

I agree that KJ is pretty good on defense, moves his feel well and knows to look for seams on the pick and roll. For a guy getting so much praise for his defense he has 1 steal and 1 assist this season. He also has 9 fouls and 13 pts in 65 mins of play this season. He may be a stud in 3-4 years but not close now. At this point in Ge Lawn Frosh year he was 5-10 from the floor and 3-6 from 3 in 50 mins of playing time and many many people still doubt him. Just don't et the KJ praise. He may be decent by his junior year.

While I do think he has potential, he will get stronger. He will get better. Here are my future concerns for him. I dont see him moving very fluently. Hes stiff. He wants zero part of contact (will get better with strength). His hands are terrible. Biggest concern, he gets the ball and spends to much time thinking. Basketball players who have to think on the court always concern me. To a point Yancy was like that. Look while im perfectly fine with him getting minutes right now, once we play "real" teams his minutes have to drop. If Justin and Titus get in foul trouble we are in real trouble. That has been my point all year. Looking at the stats last night, nice to see G put together a nice little game.. I wish he would have knocked down a few more open threes but ill take his game. KJ might have the quickest burst on the team. Something this team has lacked for a while. His shooting isnt a concern... yet...

One huge huge x factor is JJ staying out of foul trouble. He cannot get any cheap fouls reaching or being stupid. So you wish Ge would knock down some 3's but you are ok with the first SG off the bench shooting 23% and 0-10 from 3? His shooting is not of concern yet b/c of soft schedule and SK being more effecient.
