CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just had a highlight play on an alley-oop. He's got 5 points on 2/4 shooting in the second quarter. Has at least one steal and one block, and a few boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hard to keep track of the stats. In the 3rd quarter he has at least 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. His team trailing by 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Jake plays very well around the basket. He doesn't seem to have much range, but he also has some very talented teammates and is not the primary scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he look like the kind of athletic shot blocker that it seems like most Final Four teams have 2 or 3 of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just saw this. Darn snow shoveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I didn’t get to see him, but like how Archie’s putting it together. We have Clifton, Race, and Forrester already, and if you add Jackson-Davis as the centerpiece, that’s a great looking rotation up front. It reminds me of how really good teams play and an approach we haven’t followed in the past. I really liked how Clifton moved his feet on defense and he seems to be learning his assignments. I see the pieces coming together. Let’s hope we get TJD. He can be phenomenal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I saw parts of the game in the second half. He definately altered several shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Would he play ahead of Freddie right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good question, Freddie’s offense is horrid. What he lacks in that he makes up for in rebounds and hustle plays. He drives me nuts most of the time but he and McBob are the only ones I never doubt how hard they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually a big fan of Freddie but there is a limit to what he can bring. I do think he hits his ceiling at a pretty high rate. He can make me pull my hair out, but I can't say I ever get mad at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mike was actually more polished around the basket. That’s saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
