I agree. He has shown improvement this year. If the big kid from Texas can start at C, JOB can play his natural PF position and perhaps improve his draft status.


Robinson is not even close to starting material for next season and if JOB III returned him, Mickey and Martin would all start...Robinson wouldn't start over any of those guys.

JOB is a good player, but if he does return next year the offense needs to run through Martin. JOB is too limited and inconsistent with what he can do. I doubt he returns though.

The problem is this: When JOB III is hot, we run the offense through him and do well - until the team makes an adjustment to double him.

When JOB III is cold, we still force him the ball...and waste possessions doing so. We have so many other scoring options but we act like only JOB III can carry us.

You can't be serious, he looked far from NBA ready last year. At least he can make turnaround 12 footers almost regularly now.

No it wouldnt.

Considering the improvement he's made during the last two seasons another year would help him.

Better for him to go the NBA, need to play younger players.

IMO JOB will not return for senior season. With that being said, he will go mid to late second round because this is a very deep draft. He definitely needs to learn to pass out of the double and triple teams he see and also he doesn't put forth the same energy and effort on the defensive side of the court.

My belief is should stay great rebounder but everyone is big in league. But mostly not good decision when pressured. Even crowd gets loud it affects way he plays. Why mental game that he doesn't have. Plus no said anything abt playing good above rim I mean he has trouble playing Rim and there r framing trees that can jump in the league. Looking over bench how I do how do lol funny use to in highschool coaches hate that lol!!!

JOB ill never see his number atop the PMAC. At best an average player and kills us on the boards and with his defense..

He cannot help us get to the next level. He has Dale Brownitis....does not get better at LSU...

So he's not one of the 3 greatest players in NBA history or a college great like Macklin? He should be ashamed of himself.

9th player in school history to be back to back 1st team all-conference.

He will only benefit if he mentally is ready to be disciplined and actually learn how to play better against def pressure, then learn to play def himself.

He is out of control on both ends, and when he is in foul trouble sits for half the game and is smiling and cutting up on the bench. Johnny Jones needs to learn how to discipline these guys to take this game serious-sure its a game but play it properly and with discipline

To be honest id like to see what the team is like without him. The offense this season has been: pass the ball around the perimeter until it is on johnnys side of the court. Dump it low to him. After the ball is in his hands he gets double teamed. After that he turns and takes a fade away shot/turns the ball over/waits to long to pass out of the double team and we miss a wide open three. I hope that we'll run the offense through someone else
