January 21, 200719 yr You guys are funny. Kerr and Paxson were undersized, slow by NBA standards and both had very good careers. It's like we are ignoring his improvement while at Duke on D and handling the rock. This isn't 18 year old JJ... I think JJ still has time to have a solid NBA career.
January 21, 200719 yr I think JJ still has time to have a solid NBA career. So do I. That's my point...
January 21, 200719 yr So do I. That's my point... Got ya. Like someone said, he's naturally going to play the two. He isn't a good enough ball handler (at this point) to play the point.
January 21, 200719 yr So do I. That's my point... I don't think you read the rest of my statement either. I think JJ could be very effective on a team that has a strong, tall, physical PG. I do not think that is the Orlando Magic. The two guys you mentioned, Kerr and Paxson, had probably the best guard of all time as their opposite who made not only them better but everyone else on the floor better. It is clear the big reason that he is not playing right now is not his offensive ability, but his defensive ability. Why else would Arroyo and Bogans be getting minutes ahead of him??? What does surprise me is that Diener is still managing to see the floor more.
January 21, 200719 yr This isn't 18 year old JJ... Your right. If it was, he would be at Duke, scoring a lot more buckets than he ever will in the league.

January 22, 200719 yr I think he could possibly be a good role player but nothing more. Possibly a double digit scorer but not a consistent starter for a contender.
