You can tell by his on court demeanor that he is pressing HARD on offense. It's weighing on him. Against Auburn he did a great job of drawing fouls on his drives which led to him going 6-6 from the FT line. As bad as his shooting has been lately, he is still making FT's. So WHY does he go into the lane and contort himself to AVOID contact???!!!!
Very true on the point about him driving. He’s a big, strong guard. If anything he should be hunting contact when going to the FT line as opposed to falling away/avoiding contact.
I ignored that dude a while back. But yeah, he was telling us after the exhibition games that Wagner was the best guard.
Yeah. I bumped an early thread where he was extremely adamant that was the case. Lulz Rarely will I do that. However, I told him in one particular thread (possibly that very thread, idk) I’d be doing it come late February or so. Welp, here we are. 😉
I sure don’t but he may be our best defensive guard. He’s gonna get better when he gets that rust off but no, Dilly is our best guard.
While I agree Dilly and Reed are playing better now, let’s not forget DJ was SEC player of the week a few times earlier. He didn’t dribble a ball for over 2 weeks and it put him even more behind. Also DJ plays better defense, so there’s that.
🤣 you told us forever DJ was our best guard and would be come February/March. Reed and Rob have played better literally all season than DJ. So has Reeves. Let’s see, that would make DJ exactly our 4th best guard.
And he’s only the 4th best (not 5th, 6th, etc.) because we have only 4 guards on the team 🤣
Again, they are better offensively right now but DJ is better defensively. I think DJ can still be a better pro than Reed or Reeves, still TBD if he can pass Dilly as a pro. If I was picking guards right now DJ would be my 4th pick. You also have put down Edwards all year and look at yesterday. DJ is our youngest player. He’s gonna be a stud when he gets it figured out, you’ll see in time.
Well yeah, JE hadn’t lived up to expectations until the last week or two. Like someone else said, I don’t think he worked hard enough to get into good game shape. I’m with ya, I really hope DJ can figure it out these last few weeks and give us a boost. I also like him on the defensive end.
I admit you were right and I was wrong, in no way is DJ our best guard. I just hope all these kids will be playing their best ball in the next month or so. We all have the same hopes, Go Cats.
I had serious doubts that JE would figure it out. I was wrong on that for sure. He looked like an AA yesterday. If he can just play half that well rest of the season, we will be cooking! Go Cats!
