Josh Jones
- Thread starter ThePhysician
- Start date
Haven't looked at the box score, but I imagine he had 3-5 rebounds. He hustled a lot on defense and looked strong when we started pressing and trapping. He is built for that kind of defense. He's also pretty good at throwing alleyoops. Too bad that one wasn't completed on the other end, but it's the second perfect one he's thrown this year.
Offensively, he still is very unsure of himself and doesn't seem ready to be a scoring option. He bricked that three from straight on off the backboard, I think because he wasn't really expecting to take it in the first place. He seems like someone who needs to get into the flow of the game in order to build his confidence up. Hopefully as that happens, he will be looking more for his shot and ready to take it at any time.

He had 9 rebounds.
Josh played well last night. Loved seeing that he was crashing the offensive glass on a few plays. I think a short bench will benefit him more than anyone as he can play with not as much fear of making a mistake and getting yanked for the rest of the game - he has to play now.

I like Active Josh much more than Wallflower Josh. I wish he would take his game from inside out, and start with drives to get aggressiveness and confidence going, and then try the threes.
My thoughts on Josh for what they are worth.
1. Good solid defender
2. Very athletic, can run the court.
3. Very tentative on offense, the only shot he seems really comfortable taking is the 3 ball. Has a reputation as a good shooter, but that has not translated yet. I think he has taken like a total of 3 shots or something all year from 2, so clearly not comfortable inside the arc yet.
Basically if you are a Trey Davis fan, you are probably going to like Josh Jones. JJ has a better touch from 3, but probably not as good from Trey in driving to the basket. I see him being a solid bench guy as an A-10 player, which for us, probably means he will be playing starters minutes his junior and senior year.

Maybe we can split time with TJ 10 minutes Josh 10minutes DT 25 minutes, sounds like a plan , albeit a lousy one.
Hey, JJ throws a great lob to DT. Since that was a called play couple games ago and he's getting into the flow more now, think he can also give us some assists and find his shot. Will be interesting to see how his minutes play out. Hope he takes great advantage of this PT.
Josh and Kadeem are WAY to tentative on offense. With Kadeem that isn't that surprising considering that he is a freshman, but Josh needs to step it up.
