Message: [QUOTE="imno1, post: 2497297, member: 270"] I see both sides of the argument. Jalen is our most important player and he plays almost the entire game because without him we have no chance of scoring a point. He’d have more assists if there was someone to assist to especially a big or two (Juwan Durham). His weaknesses are shooting and defense. Granted different players and being in the NBA allows access to the best training but compare JA and Donovan Mitchell. Both were ranked about the same coming out of Brewster. Look at the difference in their development. This is just speculation but Jalen doesn’t strike me as a gym rat. As a 22 yo junior he’s should have developed a stronger body and better shot. And defense is a much a matter of determination. Expectations were so high for Adams. “The next great UConn guard” But he’s more Albert Mouring (not the shooting ability but the limitations) than SN or KW. More of a complementary piece then the lead dog. If we had other players who actually played basketball before, guys who could make a play, Jalen would not get the scrutiny he currently receives.
