that’s why they practice every week, work on their games over the summer.

Arguing that the team wouldn’t be better with both MPJ and a better Jontay post game is asinine.

Look, there’s no way to make Geist or CVL faster. There’s no way to make Puryear taller.

But you can’t argue that there was no way to make Jontay a better post player before he came to Mizzou. They chose not to do that - which is a poor decision, IMO. They could have easily added some post work without significantly decreasing his perimeter abilities.

Jontay could learn a lot from Sophie - WildCard MU - 1/28 17:30:47
     Nothing is happening with Jontay or Tilmon for that fact - longtimereader MU - 1/28 17:47:29
     Cuonzo could also learn something from Pingeton, probably.(nm) - Evenflow MU - 1/28 17:40:03
          Its not probably. Based on play, its for sure.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 1/28 17:52:19
          You mean like, how to persevere thru an impatient fanbase? - tiger4real MU - 1/28 17:43:52
               Robin won 13 games in both of her first 2 years. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/28 17:49:57
                    what have you done for me lately? - tiger4real MU - 1/28 17:51:15
     Jontay will develop a post game - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 17:37:08
          As an 8th grader, I had better post moves than JP.(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 1/28 17:50:07
               Good for you MPSr wanted his kids to focus - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 17:57:32
                    Even 5' 10" guards should have post moves.(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 1/28 19:10:55
                         Jontay has post moves - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 21:04:42
                    That’s a poor decision - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:03:06
                         Not really. With the way game has evolved, every kid, - alwaysright MU - 1/29 06:57:12
                              Why can’t you learn both? (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/29 08:02:18
                         It’s worked out well - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:07:49
                              To FIJI this, I agree - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:20:09
                                   He’s been a perimeter player - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:22:39
                                        I find it hard to believe - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:24:34
                                             Not enough to develop an inside game - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:29:00
                                                  He could have played on the interior in AAU - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:32:40
                                                       He was a top 25 recruit after reclassifying - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:39:19
                                                            It’s a big deal - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:41:28
                                                                 It’s not a suprise - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:43:54
                                                                      You should have said “Hey Mike, your kid’s big” (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:47:05
                                                                           I’m happy with how Jontay came in - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:49:57
                                                                                Sigh. They all need to be better players than they are - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:56:10
                                                                                     not many freshmen have great post games - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 19:15:59
                                                                                          Not many freshmen have Jontay’s background (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/28 20:58:05
                                                                                               If Jontay had a polished post game - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 21:02:33
                                                                                                    And this team would be better. - WildCard MU - 1/28 21:16:07
                                                                                                         So you are saying Cuonzo should have recruited Ayton - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 21:22:41
                                                                                                              No. I think it’s pretty clear - WildCard MU - 1/29 05:43:29
                                                                                                                   Why don’t you point out the weaknesses of the rest - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/29 07:07:43
                                                                                                                        They are all pretty well covered here already (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/29 07:20:27
                         Or he's a freshman, and like 99% of freshman - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:06:01
                              It looks like more than just freshman adjustment to me - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:27:45
                                   But apparently Jontay was too big to learn how to play in - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:34:40
                                        Or maybe they both should have done both (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:38:28
                                             I'm sure you know best. - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:40:08
                                   Puryear was a year older than Jontay - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:31:25
                                        Not sure what your point is. You have ato be 18 to learn - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:36:42
                                             Jontay is already a better defender - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:41:40
                                             The point is that when you are older, you've have more - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:39:24
                                                  How did Tilmon get in the wrong age group? - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:42:41
                                                       BTW, what D1 coaching staff have you been on? - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 20:34:56
                                                            None. What difference does that make? - WildCard MU - 1/28 20:49:17
                                                                 Do you believe hindsight is 20-20? - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 21:05:34
                                                                      Oh. Right. No criticism allowed. - WildCard MU - 1/28 21:12:59
                                                                           Rational criticism allowed, not post dated fantasies - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 22:16:42
                                                                                What is irrational about - WildCard MU - 1/29 05:45:38
                                                       Jontay didn’t develop a strong post game - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:47:11
                                                       Are you really saying that a young man who skipped a year - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:45:11
                                                            No, I’m saying he shoudn’t have skipped half the game (nm) - WildCard MU - 1/28 18:46:22
                                                                 As I said, I'm sure you know best. - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 20:21:53
                              MSU freshmen center played very well last night - BlackSheep MU - 1/28 18:11:48
                                   His circumstances are not the same. You're trying to make - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 18:22:21
                                   Jontay is not post player, at least not yet - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/28 18:19:56
               While that may be true, he's grown quit a bit since then. - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/28 17:54:30
          Both surprising and frustrating - WildCard MU - 1/28 17:47:52
          He's already showing some improvement. (nm) - Uncle John MU - 1/28 17:39:21
               If so, it’s minimum improvement - BlackSheep MU - 1/28 18:08:53
                    Nonsense (nm) - Uncle John MU - 1/28 18:13:04
     though hard to watch, women play better fundamental bball - Macgrantt MU - 1/28 17:33:23
