Billikenbooster Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I know it's stupid to start such a thread at this time of year, but for my money, RIGHT NOW, it is JJ. When he is on, we do well, when not we struggle. He can control the game like no one else on the team, with D, assists, driving, outside shots, 3s. He has learned how to take what the other team gives him. The play on Wed that sealed it for me was when he drove the R side in the first half, had three opponents around him, GOT THE REBOUND, then put it back in. Simply amazing. He has incredible fire to succeed like no one else I can remember in the recent past. DE is the man, but JJ is my MVP right now. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, Jordair Jett is the Billikens' most critical player this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If it is truly most valuable, you have to consider Rob Loe in the conversation. He has been great defensively (ask Dan Dakich) and actually very good posting up- a place where he has struggled in the past. Rob has improved his all-around game drastically this year and I think we need to give him more credit. If Rob's shots start falling.... watch out.

JettFlight5 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Jordair and Dwayne Evans can both create matchup issues. Jordair because he's built like a tank, and Dwayne because of his ability to play high or low. Either way, damn glad to have both of them wearing Billikens unis.

majerus mojo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 As JJ goes, so go the Bills. Agree. RL has been under the radar money, too, and it looks like he's gaining some confidence with the 3-ball. Think he may have one more offensive explosion in him before it's all over - a la the 5 3's he rained down on Georgia his freshman year.

WeBsTa03 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 JJ all the way. He is some how always involved in a majority of the plays. He is also not afraid to have the ball when the shot clock is winding down or make a big play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't come close to replacing what either do if they went down this year. JJ is great, but we have options outside of JJ at the 1.

billslasttermdropout Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 DE is about to dust off the reverse and make this a race. He's recalibrated the gyroscope and is ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Loe may not be the best athlete out there but for a near 7 ft player he is tremendous. Two plays against Richmond stood out. One whe he helped on a ball screen and proceeded to cover Lindsey by moving his feet, forced a travel. Second on a loose ball that one of their guards picked up near mid court. Loe got down stole the ball picked it up and dished to McCall...excellent hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Just wait until defenses realize they have to double team dwight AND jordair. gonna get real interesting. Even when they do we still have scoring threats in AM and RL, especially if they're hitting their shots! And with how versatile we are, when everybody is playing their A game, we're unbeatable.

JettFlight5 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Austin McBroom has provided quite the lift off the bench. When he comes in, that's an added offensive threat every time down the floor. Plus, if we need somebody to hit FTs, I'd take Austin at the line every time.

slufanskip Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Anyone else notice how JJ drove almost exclusively to the right in the Richmond game? Almost like he knew people were thinking he only finishes and drives to the left and wanted to show he goes where ever he pleases not just to the left. I've also noticed his little 5-10 foot pull up looks so much better. He actually uses his off hand, and doesn't just push it up with his right hand only anymore. You can clearly see how much work he's put into it the last couple of years. Same goes for free throws. I have been extremely impressed by JJ of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB73 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It is too early but you have to lean to DE as the MVP, the backbone of the team, consistently scoring and rebounding and brings so much toughness and leadership. I agree that JJ has stepped up and is the difference maker when we need him, takes responsibility to run the "O", drives to the hoop and scores when the clock is running out, plays great "D". RL is in the mix, too, not just his numbers, but his whole portfolio, a big man that can shoot, his presence impacts the game on both ends, but he's not quite on the same tier as DE & JJ. IMO at the end of the year our MVP will be DE or possibly JJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
