This dude is big. He has good footwork. He has atrocious hands, mishandling several passes during the screening drills. Looks like a kid that grew up playing soccer. Maybe he can head a few goals.

Shooting is an adventure. His FT shot is the flattest I’ve ever seen, barely getting as high as the rim, but it was surprisingly effective. He was the only big not shooting from beyond the line in the 3PT drills - he’d always take a (big) step inside the line.

                    cool. let's groom JT for PG - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 10:21:11
                         A non-answer from you. NBA teams covet 4's & 5's who can - scif MU - 10/14 17:21:20
                              you have to develop them - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 17:28:44
               They work on all aspects of their games - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 22:40:36
                    I feel like most people on this board have never played a - tgr MU - 10/14 08:37:57
                         It might encourage/embolden them to take one during a game - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 11:02:36
                         I just want them to be a threat to take that shot - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 08:46:28
                              100% of Mitch's 3 point attempts are bad possessions - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 11:04:00
                                   10 years ago pre analytics that would have been true - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:01:38
                                        They don't know much about basketball then (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 12:09:02
                                             The best teams and coaches use it a ton - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:12:22
                                                  They try and prevent Mitchell Smith from taking 3's? - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 12:15:52
                                                       They play defense, which is shutting down shooters - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:24:57
                                                            Agree, flukes can happen. That is what - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 12:27:10
                                                                 That was bad defensive strategy - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:30:04
                                                                      We had a 7 man max rotation, and 2 of our players - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 12:33:51
                              teams gonna let JT shoot 3 any time he want(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 10:22:38
                              I agree. Even if they aren't shooting 40% from out there, - tgr MU - 10/14 08:49:13
                                   No, that would encourage him to continue - FIJItiger MU - 10/14 11:07:24
                                   unless JT shooting 40%, teams gonna sag. - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 10:23:41
                                        Praying doesn’t do any good in basketball - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 10:50:50
                                             neither does praying a guy who is 0-1 in - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 12:21:41
                                                  So Cuonzo was 0-7 from 3 at the same stage - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:27:27
                                                       Hahaha...coach wasn't a 6'10 forward was he? - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 12:30:58
                                                            Height doesn’t matter - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:40:06
                                                                 you stupid man - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 12:47:43
                                                                      Kash was well over 50% on the types of shots I am - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 12:50:06
                                                                           have u always made **** up? - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 13:15:00
                                                                                any 3 he takes is likely to be a spot up 3 - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 13:25:19
                                                                                     hope you right but we need him - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 13:35:27
                                                                                          I mean he’s still going to play inside a lot - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 13:44:00
                                                                                               not sure Watson/Santos should be primary options in OT - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 15:43:35
                                                                                                    They weren’t running sets to get them shots - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 17:27:37
                    hope that aint true - LamarFrazier MU - 10/13 23:11:42
                         I'm guessing he has time for all of it.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 10/14 08:14:58
                              how many 3s you think JT gonna take this yr?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 08:27:54
                                   Around 1 per game - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/14 08:31:01
                                        He's going to be open a lot more than that out there.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 10/14 10:25:04
                                        dumb if true(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 10/14 10:19:53
          Good thing you're not a basketball coach - Cosmo MU - 10/13 18:58:00
          Could very well be.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 10/13 13:10:08
          Agreed. Improving your shooting is a great skill (nm) - TigerA MU - 10/13 13:05:46
          Okongo wasn’t taking 3’s - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 11:39:26
               He's deadly at 2 feet... - Soltan Gris MU - 10/13 13:44:47
               Was JT(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 10/13 12:04:39
                    RE: Was JT(nm) - oldtgr MU - 10/13 12:19:24
                    Yes, and shot it well - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 12:08:35
                         JT and RN taking 3's - Jeff85 MU - 10/13 13:48:31
                              Just have to take the shot enough the their defender - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 13:55:01
                                   as an opponent coach I would never come out on either - Jeff85 MU - 10/13 14:43:09
                                        That’s possible - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 14:51:15
                                             And as Norm would say, there's a reason why you're open.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 10/14 07:33:40
                                             you need to take shots you have a reasonable chance of - Jeff85 MU - 10/13 14:55:11
                                                  Ok, but watching practice yesterday - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 15:04:15
                                                       RE: Ok, but watching practice yesterday - oldtgr MU - 10/13 16:39:19
                                                            Also keep in mind that I’m not proposing that - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 16:54:05
                                                                 Simply put - Genco98 MU - 10/13 18:25:34
                                                                      Skill ball is probably a better way to describe it - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 18:29:40
                                                                           I’d love to see Tilmon bring the ball up once a while - Genco98 MU - 10/13 18:53:54
                                                                                If his ball handling was good enough sure - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 18:58:03
                                                                                     maybe JT and RN could run the point - Jeff85 MU - 10/13 20:31:39
                                                                                          5’s don’t just play in the post - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 20:51:17
                                                                                               that's because people have given up developing post - Jeff85 MU - 10/13 21:15:25
                                                                                                    I prefer that they be able to do all of those things - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/13 21:23:44
