He got cooked. But still played his game and hustled hard. He has certainly earned the increase in his minutes.
Love his game. He's going to be a special 2 way player if he puts in the work. I hope in the offseason he really watches a lot of tapes on defense about how to take the right angle and positions on defense. The NBA is too good of a league for one-on-one defense and to stay in front of your man. You have to take the angles away from the offensive players and make him go where you want him to go. Really excited about this kid
During half time he was the first guy out of both teams on the court and he was practicing 3's non stop
Trae cooked Jrue-freaking-Holiday early in last year ECF, but eventually Jrue’s size and strength wore him down. Jaygup will look better in a long playoff series of attrition. Eventually I care about playoffs
Really like his game even since summer league. It's a man you can tell badly wants to play and I believe he is enjoying his time here.
even after getting absolutely cooked by trae JC came back strong and was integral to the comeback against Atlanta
Im Pro-Jalen and I think there is every reason in the world to expect him to improve to star level..... BUT, I am Is also beginning to think the same thing about Christopher and even Josh may have an easier road to getting there. His frame and some of the skills he already shows are very encouraging.
Excellent.. I want to see him stay out of foul trouble and control his turnovers. Having said that, JC plays in control now...really cleaned up his game...quickly..at 19. Very impressive. NBA body...lightning fast, with good handles, STRONG with elite athleticism. Josh's ability to score on all levels is legit. He's bustin it from downtown. On top of all this, everything about him screams... perennial All Defense. What all that translates to remains to be seen, but early returns point to him being a helluva 2 way player in this League. You know, I had seen Josh at the combine and wasn't impressed...I wanted Quentin with this pick. Summer League was a different story. And his progress so far this season has been remarkable.
It is better that the Offense comes to him while playing Defense. While the D does not come to Jalen as often when he got his Offense going.
Green/Jaygup/Sengun/KMJ/KPJ/Garuba is really a hell of a turnaround when you consider where we were a a year ago. To gather that much young talent with role players like Matthews/Brooks in the wing and many tradeable assets was an admiral job by Stone.
Every time i see "jaygup" i think its referring to a first year MBA student at Northwestern named Jayesh Gupta
