That's not crowning him as anything by saying he's an elite passer. It does nothing for his game if he doesn't start taking 3's and the defender can play 10 feet off him. Until then all the passing skills in the world won't do him any good just like his athleticism doesn't help getting to the rim for the same reason
If he's a brick-layer, he shouldn't be taking 3's in games until he's figured it out in the gym. And he's not an "elite" passer. Stop saying that. Last year, he averaged almost as many turnovers as assists per game - 1.2/1.6
Polley is supposed to be good at one thing, shooting and he's not good at that. He's a liability on defense. With Jackson you know you're getting better defense, rebounding, passing, ball handling. If you have
Did you see Jax's stats I just posted from last year? He's also a liability on D. He's not a better passer. And are you even watching these games? Eye test fails as well.
I'm just going to move on and enjoy my night, it's clear you're not going into this with an open mind and any opinion other than Andre Jackson is not a D1 basketball player is wrong. You can continue to come here and take your "victory" laps that Andre sucks, I suspect we won't be seeing you very often in post-game threads
akok would replace whaley if anyone not jackson. hawk would replace jackson.
No way. Want to bet? Whaley is a fixture and will start every game. Jackson is going to lose his minutes.
LOL there is NO WAY akok is going to be the starting SF....
He thinks we're going to start three big men, lol.
You don't even want to wish him a happy 20th birthday?
Yeah I wish he would have started with the suggestion of Akok replacing Jackson at the 3 in the starting lineup so I didn't bother. I probably should have known anyway
it's not very versatile when whaley gives you 2 pts and 1 reb as the starting PF that's for sure
Enjoy your night my friend. You will be hearing from me after every game. I hope my critiques of Ajax become incorrect. I will gladly admit if I'm wrong...I don't think you will though.
I'd say Andre has excellent court vision and he is a good passer. I think his turnover percentages are that way because he too ofter tries to thread the needle and make the high degree of difficulty pass too often. He needs to curtail that for sure.
He passes the eye test with flying colors. If you look at statistics you'll see Polley is average at best. Go through each individual game and look at Polley's statistics. He had two big games that brought up his scoring average. He had several games of 0's across the board. Jackson also missed ~4 games. No one expects him to score like they do Polley, but he does a lot more on both ends
He is also our best defender. He'll probably average 6 and 8
I'm thinking that you dictated this and actually said, "My intoxication, or my heresy and ridicule?"
True. Akok being healthy is huge.
that would be great but so far it's 5 and 2 against the softest of cupcakes. akok has totally eclipsed him by comparison thus far.
Agreed. As of now Gaff is lighting it up. Gaffney would take Polleys minutes
Actually I don't think either Polley or Jackson deserve alot of playing time at the moment - even while we wait to see Hawkins. Polley can't play decent defense and Dre has no offensive game to speak of - he is even missing gimme layups! And while Dre dibbles around the perimeter, defenses collapse and double/triple team in the paint. Even in limited action, Diggins looks more comfortable with the ball than Dre does.
I love your posts Hans. Well-thought, witty, and eloquent.
Martin only getting 20 minutes and Cole 25? Not going to happen even in your best dreams. They both will be on the court for 30 plus minutes when the big games come up. Those 2 and Sanogo are integral parts of our success,.
You’re weird man lol
Thanks. Contribute to the debate or zip it.
Yeah Hurley just confirmed as much in his presser. Said he expects RJ, Sanogo and Terese to each be playing 32-33 minutes or more by Atlantis.
