Name someone that works harder on his craft than JJ. Hell the man is 35, among the best shooters ever. and is still out there working trying to get better. His defensive game suffers because of his physical limitations.
You can do way worse for a mentor than a guy who shows up 2 hours early for practice to work on his game.
A mentor for a young guy is not just learning his game. It's that mentors work ethics rubbing off on him. Breaking down film with him, learning how to spot what he sees opposing teams are doing to him. Its alot less X's and O's, that's the coaches job.
Take a guy like KAT, he would be a horrible mentor, even though he's great offensively, he has zero work ethic.

Most players won’t benefit enough from focusing entirely on one skill like JJ. That’s why you wouldn’t choose him as a mentor over other players. It’s such a niche role. Most players would benefit more from being well-rounded or focusing on any other skill. Why get a guy like Redick for a mentor when you can get a vet that’s a good 2 way contributor?
