Just blowing steam but had to say it even if we would have won:

For someone that believes he is an NBA player he shows very little in emotion or more importantly leadership! He consistently seems to be in slow motion, walks around as if he seems drunk at times after a foul or dead ball, very little concentration on free throws and lately excluding tonight but definitely the last few games has almost been to the point a "ball hog".

Just seems he rarely passes it back out to our guards and doesn't seem like the player ready for the next step.

I know there will be bashers on here for these comments, but you can't tell me you don't see the same or some of these characteristics coming from him! Lastly I am only coming down hard on him more because as I stated earlier he is supposed to be a leader on this team. Also for someone thinking they are NBA ready he should be performing way beyond what he is producing. This team deserves better from him and we as fans should expect more from someone who believes he is the best on the team!

Hoping for a better stretch of games ahead for him and the team!!

Good to be hopeful but this team just is not good.

He's playing like a scrub this year. You only score 6 points vs a team lacking an inside presence? On top of that, you let a freshman come in and bust your arse for about 16 points and out hustle you on rebounds? If I was coach Jones I would say frick it and start Mickey and Martin down low.

Its the zone defense. JJ has no play to attack zone and job is frustrated that its basically guards jacking it up

He's lazy, thinks he's a future NBA player, and has become uncoachable.

He went from a fringe draft pick to lucky to be invited to a camp

When you have a big man slowly jogging to his spot and doing nothing but clogging up the lane there is not much else you can do. You can't say there is no zone offense. Certain players just run it at half speed

JOB should have left last season if he wasn't going to come back and try. It seemed like he was ready to work and pwn some people.

He must be regretting his decision and doesn't feel like working anymore.

I'm just waiting for JJ to get all of his guys in here, because I know the relationship between JOB and the coaches is not a great one.

Lets not forget he let a 6'7 Lithuanian go for 18 pts and 14 boards against him against Rhode Island

He also let Stokes grab 15 boards and go in him dry.

You'd think at some point he'd have enough and start playing like the man he is.

I keep telling people Jones tricked him into coming back. This draft is wayyy too deep for him to leave early.

All drafts are going to be too deep for him. He's not a pro, not in the NBA anyways.

ETA: And evidently, not in Lithuania either.

Mickey is the only one of the 3 that would even get drafted this year.

First off JOB since hs had a demeanor like that it is his personality. He is a hardworker, and I watched him in HS and AAU he does not dog it. He gets down on himself, but the whol relationship with the coaches is a line of crap.

JOB will get invited to the camps and will perform very well. He is a true NBA PF which gas become very rare, as there are just way too many long lengthy guys that can play either 4/5. Why does every team double-team?????
He had a bad game, never heard real fans say I wish a guy on your own team, a starter and a McDonalds AA, wish he was not even on the team, and should have left early.

That is truly sad in today's world where those guys are the same ones to bash guys for leaving early in football, you should applaud a guys that has done a lot for LSU basketball and been a good teammate, and student. Never been a problem off the court an I know that for a fact, loves BR and LSU and wants to get a degree. He will make the NBA and make Cleveland, MS a tough place to come from and succeed proud.
