re: TJ’s body language is terrible.

Some good analysis. Some of the critique could be him trying the preserve his health. Mostly though, I think there is a general lack of urgency.

I also heard some professional analysis of him out of high school and it echoed what you said. Additionally there was criticism of him being erratic with some games playing lights out and others not so much. The variation between the highs and lows were an issue.
He was also said to be “cocky” after playing well and big wins. This is not to be confused with “confidence” which comes with preparation combined with physical ability.

That leads to the most important critique-
He was prone to rely on his physical ability above all else. He was not known to study and was willing to wing it rather than spend time preparing.

Not sure if he’s still this way. If he is, I hope the coaches do not reward him by letting him start. He needs to be held to account. He needs to show that he takes this seriously.

I’m fine with what I saw from Max Johnson. He’s freshman. He needs some time and I can be patient.
Heck, I have no choice
