I think he'll have some memorable long-range days this season, as long as COVID doesn't curtail things. X was a comparatively better rebounder for sure, but he's also a couple inches taller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He generally contributes to the level of discourse in here rather than lowering it. Hell, a couple of weeks ago I was told to perform a certain sexual act by some dimwit in the football forum !

Expand He recently made it state-side and should be concluding his quarantine soon. I'm expecting a Dawson-like season at best. He could be valuable down the stretch, plus he will benefit from the lack of big men.

I realize that didn't work out but he averaged over 24 ppg and 10 rpg in a good juco program. I have to wonder whether there's not something else up there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to play defense to play for Groce and maybe he isn’t quick enough on the defensive end to earn time now. Big guys need to be able to cover their guys, help when guards drive in and switch onto a guard occasionally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 LCJ thoroughly outplayed Jason Preston. I was thinking Preston would overtake LCJ as MACPOY this season. Looks like I was (happily) dead wrong. LCJ has mastered the game. If he were 6 feet tall he'd be an NBA player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
