When he goes to the goal strong he's successful, and he doesn't do that often. It's typical for him to either bounce the ball when he doesn't need to, fade away b/c he's scared to go up strong, or run around out of control and take a terrible shot. The guy is like a big puppy that either doesn't know or doesn't trust he strength and ability. So in my mind he always "struggles". His points come from easy put backs and/or free throws with a stong basket sprinkled in here and there. I hope he figures it out.

Agree with your assessment completely. I posted the following last night:

I'm happy about the win, but there is no way on earth that our 5'11" point guard should have a team high 7 rebounds and our 6'9" forward/ center only gets 5!!
JOB just seems to have no appreciation of his size and strength. It's like he doesn't try to use it.

Once again we failed to beat our opponent on 2 chance shots.
JOB and Jalen need to fight for those.

Disappointed in the post play. but glad JOB got the clutch free throws.

Go get Alabama Tigers!!

Yep, and my intentions aren't to bash JOB, I just think he needs to play his size out there. Tuba is just learning the game and he at least tries to back the post down and go in strong. I understand that JOB gets double teamed a lot, but when he doesn't he still takes a passive approach offensively. I've seen him play strong (Kentucky last year) before, and I hope to see it a little more often. When you come out during the starting line up making motions implicating you're gonna eat the opposition up by having a "phantom dinner", you need to do just that. The bigger guys coming in next year will help him out quite a bit, so that's something to look fwd to.

In jobs defense on the boards he didn't play much 1st half he didn't play much.cause of foul trouble. Btw his 2nd foul was bs.

And the vandy bigs didn't kill us even with their height advantage. I think our bigs did a pretty good job boxing out allowing our guards to get it.

Also vandy took a lot of jumpers which led to long rebounds which also effects numbers.

And ya jobs safety dribble is a bad habit but I was referring to a few good drives that once he left his.feet it was like it lost a strength but atleast it was going at rim.
