Csan you get him to play Ron Harper D?
Did ron harper put his head down and do a 10 second dribble drabble chuck 10 times a game?
Horrible comparison
People forget Ron Harper the Cleveland Cav. He was a scorer and I am sure he did pretty much what JR did. JR in a triangle system would do wonders for his game and I'm sure he will curtail a lot of his current game.
Ron Harper was never a bonehead like JR. NEVER. He was not the highest pct shooter but let's not start to compare these opposite players.
I do agree that the triangle can help JR and his chucking.
I know what JR is. We all know not to trust him. But JR if you look past his idiotic behavior is very talented and a decent ball handler and when focused is not a bad passer. Do I like JR hell no like I said you can't trust him but are we stuck with this bonehead we are. With that said if Phil comes here and runs a triangle type system I can see JR being a big PG in the system.
That would require Phil to be able to get to JR and change him. We all know he has talent but most of us don't think he could ever not be a bonehead.
2.2 assists for his career is pretty awful, 3.0 this year, a bit better.
I wish he would either drive to the hoop or shoot off passes. The shake and bake sh1t and the contested DUMB shots is what will always make him suck.
I do think that he is a decent defender and rebounder and woody likes his matchups in the switching defense. He can guard almost anyone.
IF ONLY WE COULD MAKE HIM LESS DUMB!
so here is what phil is thinking ....
