The Grounds

LOL, you think Hill took it to him in the fourth? Come on Tu, you said you know something about basketball. That statement makes you seem completely clueless about basketball. I like how Anderson played today by contributing although his offense wasn't there. He has had plenty of good offensive games that I am not worried about him. He needs to work on his handle but so do most kids coming out of college. Basing his whole college career off of one high school game is amateur analysis. Anderson will be the player Bennett needs him to be not what we expect him to be. The kid needs work... Good thing we have a coach that can teach. What Bennett can't teach? Anderson's physical talents and work ethic.

If you think Anderson played terrible today than I am beginning to think that all you care about is offense. Offense is only half the game, and can come and go. Defense can ALWAYS be there.

guys, give it up, he doesn't dribble well. there is no doubt. what it means remains to be seen. but it does not bode well. if you can't see that u are not too sharp. and i can tell by watching ten minutes of one game or three whole games.

Who cares if he can dribble or not, he's not coming to UVA to play point guard, but he will play good defense next year and posterize a couple of players when he dunks on them. I'm happy as hell he's coming to UVA!!

and, furthermore, my opinion is sought by the most venerable player in uva history, who is in the athletic department.

Guys, I don't know which game you were watching, but it wasn't the same as tugard and I. Justin cannot make it from behind the three point line to the basket via a dribble. I hope that doesn't mean he can't improve and have his number hanging from the rafters at JPJ. But it's worrisome and should be noted. I am pulling for him as much as anyone, but I can't ignore what i have observed and i don't think it can be refuted.

i think you guys did not watch the same game that i and tugard did. justin cannot dribble. what it means for his career i don't know. but it's not a good omen. i hope his number is hung from the rafters. but right now he has a serious deficiency.

I believe mo is trying to state that we shouldn't expect justin to come in and dominate the game because he has some weaknesses tht need a lot of work. A lot of posters think he is going to be all acc his first year but after watching todays game it is apparent tht he need to improve on a part of his game tht is critical for a perimeter player. Which is dribbling. He did not seem comfortable out there with the ball in his hands and did not look comfoortable driving to the hole. I und having a bad game but these are fundamental issues. Fortunatly these issues can be worked on and tony is excellent at helping guys work on their fundamentals. Justin has the right attitude and personality so me and mo know he will improve but as of today he need a lot of help with his ballhandling. As of right now it would b easy to guard justin on the college level. Play off him and let him take his improved jumpshot but still incosistent jusmpdhot or play close to him but play him to the right. He does not look comfortable going to his right. He go left most of the time. Me and mo are ecstatic he coming to uva but today game and only today game showed he is not ready to take over the program like many of your want. Let the kid develop and we will revisit this thread until than justin is a hoo and we proud to have him

I have seen him 5 times. JA needs to work on his handle. But, it is not debilitating and one of those things where you say, "What is his weakness"? It's his handle so he will work on it. Also, he plays a very MATURE game for a HS kid. He lets the game come to him. I think folks want him to dominate the ball and he isn't going to do that for Montrose. He makes sure his teammates are involved. He knows that if his teammates are not involved the team suffers. He also plays for a very strict team oriented coach and JA thrives in this environment. This game he was off. All great players have off games. He probably needs to take a few weeks off to be honest because he has been playing for months.

It's amazing how one game defines a player instead of his senior season. He's not going to be one and done but he'll score 8-10 ppg and have an impact on defense. Heck he shot 41% from 3 this year. With his athleticism he will have an impact. Telep couldn't stop talking about his improvement in game and maturity level in how he plays. I'll take his take on Justin's play.
