was obviously very athletic. He was strong, quick, could run, etc. But he had very limited basketball skills. He didn't understand how to play the game. He was always thinking about what he should do instead of doing it. He was many times a step behind where he should have been. He was not decisive and confident on his moves and with the ball.

If you've ever played or coached the game you know it's not easy to teach that stuff. It normally has to be learned by the player on his own. Some guys get it early, some it takes longer, some never get it. I'm not surprised JT is looking better now. The more experience he gets the better he'll likely get. He's learning how to actually play.

This is one of the reasons really good players many time don't make the best coaches. It came naturally to most of them and they don't understand how to teach others and get frustrated with players who don't get it.

          Stipo “probably” - Cole Thornton MU - 2/14 11:36:48
               Agree, the 'probably' was more AJ related - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 11:44:48
                    Stipo best big guy, but Ricky Frazier was best player ever. - Sigma MU - 2/14 14:08:40
                         He’s in my top 2 all time with band aid man - Jeff85 MU - 2/14 14:12:16
          Stan Ray was better than Tilmon (as a center) - OGT MU - 2/14 08:39:09
               Agree. So was Crudup, Buntin, Oriakhi, etc - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 08:43:09
                    you forget, he couldn't stay out of foul trouble until his - OGT MU - 2/14 10:45:32
                    they all played with a far superior supporting cast too. - TigerA MU - 2/14 08:45:05
                         True, although statistically that should have enabled him to - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 08:49:45
                              He played hurt part of that season - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/14 08:51:09

                                        I saw a different player than you and some others here. JT - sprintcar STL - 2/14 09:02:44
                                             His footwork was outstanding, had very good hands, was - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 09:09:33
                                                  He was always holding the ball when the double team - Jeff85 MU - 2/14 14:17:10
                                                       Early in his career he had shooters around him - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/14 14:21:39

                                             yep, he did come to the game late(nm) - TigerA MU - 2/14 09:03:52
                                        He never should have been a go to option - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/14 08:57:50
                                             Maybe not in 2017-18, although certainly a primary option - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 08:59:47
                                                  They stunk early in 2020 because they tried making - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/14 09:05:21
                                                       Moot point now, but that isn't right - FIJItiger MU - 2/14 09:11:41
