slufan13 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Award for the Nation's Top Point Guard. 24 Finalists. Jordair is not one of them. Say what you want about JJ not being a true point guard, but he is averaging 5 assists a game. That's a top 50 number in the country. There are also other players on this list who aren't necessarily a true PG. Kyle Anderson, UCLA Keith Appling, Michigan State Eric Atkins, Notre Dame Jason Brickman, LIU Brooklyn Jahii Carson, Arizona State Siyani Chambers, Harvard Justin Cobbs, California Aaron Craft, Ohio State Tyler Ennis, Syracuse Yogi Ferrell, Indiana DeAndre Kane, Iowa State T.J. McConnell, Arizona Shabazz Napier, Connecticut Marcus Paige, North Carolina Kevin Pangos, Gonzaga James Robinson, Pittsburgh Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State Juwan Staten, West Virginia Xavier Thames, San Diego State Fred VanVleet, Wichita State Scottie Wilbekin, Florida Chaz Williams, Massachusetts Kendall Williams, New Mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And put me down as someone who sees Aaron Craft as the most overrated college basketball player in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Jordair would probably be under consideration if he could've just hit that Sport Center top ten dunk of the day once in a while. F-em! I'll take (to paraphrase that Umass poster on the A10 board) our ninja assassin Jett who hits the winning shot and then gets in line to shake hands rather than thumping his chest and making a spectacle of himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShoe Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Totally agree. Craft is as average white guy as they come. I don't necessarily think he's average. In fact, I think he's a very good player that I would love to have on my team. But he's consistently put on these types of lists and is often mentioned as one of the best players in the country. Hell, he was 6th in voting for the preseason All-American list. Despite all the accolades, having watched him and JJ play all season, I would probably pick JJ. To me, that's the very definition of overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Totally agree. Craft is as average white guy as they come. You have no clue what you are talking about. Craft is a heady, gym rat....very cerebral and runs the OSU offense. A true floor general and game manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true floor general and game manager. A classic glue guy whose presence can't be properly quantified until he's gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Cousy lists and others like this are compiled before the season. Jett wasn't on anyone's radar preseason. He can't be added to the list of candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Shabazz Napier is a cool name. Not as cool as Jordair Jett, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska_Bob Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Jordair reminds me of Bob Gibson when he was on the mound. All business, competitive, wants the ball in tough situations. I like Billiken Rich's comment " hits the winning shot and then gets in line to shake hands rather than thumping his chest and making a spectacle of himself". Gibson sets the record for strikeouts in the 68 series, McCarver comes out to tell him and gets yelled at to get back behind the plate. Regardless of the final outcome of this Billikens season, I will always remember like I do for Gibson's 1.12 era, 15 game winning streak, and those 17 strikeouts, not for the final game of the 68 season. For a almost 50 year Billiken fan it doesn't get any better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE our whole team just wants the W. that's why at the end of the last GM game, it was rob and jordair working the pick and roll/pop almost exclusively. either rob was drilling a three or jordair was taking it to the rack. and when the defense finally respects those two options, mccall torches them along the baseline. no BS. no flash. just put the ball in the bucket and get the fuok out of dodge.
