In the last 2 games JJJ has played 34 minutes against Purdue and managed to score a whopping 3 points. Today against Kansas he played 34 minutes and managed an IMPRESSIVE 4 points.

In 68 minutes on the court, a total 7 points.

You almost have to try to be that bad.

But, hey man, hey, did y'all see that? Did y'all see that crazy steal JJJ just made? Huh man did ya see that? Man that's my guy what a heck of a steal. Oh and also did you see that rebound that went right to him? That was badass

Dude, you were making a pretty good case, then proceeded to look like a little bitty kid who has an obsessive dislike for one of our guys.

Several, because reducing JJJs playing time down to 12-15 minutes, or fewer, will mean they will have to play better talent sitting on the bench and different combinations, which by default with give Knecht more valuable minutes vs sitting him while he has the hot hand.

Yikes...didn't think you would so boldly confirm your ignorance on this

This moronic poll has devolved into something entirely different. It started out as 'should JJJ play more minutes than Knecht', and the comments turned into 'how bad is JJJ?' just my personal take:

1. For some unknown reason, OP has a real dislike for JJJ.
2. For some strange reason, OP thinks he's got a better handle on this team than CRB.
3. The whole premise for the poll is illogical and bogus. JJJ doesn't take minutes away from Knecht by playing. Barnes could play both of them 40 minutes if he wanted to. It's like creating a poll for 'should Vescovi get more minutes than Aidoo'.

Just faulty reasoning by somebody looking for attention by starting yet another unnecessary thread.

The comments and faux wisdom from rando posters who come into the basketball forum after every loss are akin to what I'd imagine the comments I'd make on the American Heart Association message board telling real life doctors how to place a stent.

You need to bench your cardiologist and have Nico do the surgery.

Also the comments they make on things that have been discussed ad nauseum over the entire off season.

Defense, intangibles, and there aren't many 4s on the team. Knecht can score the ball, but he has lapses on defense and boxing out.

Problem is JJJ never has and never will play like a 4. He believes he's a 2. With his size and length he could really give this team a boost if he'd do some low post work on offense. Just doesn't have that mentality though. Nice kid but plays a little soft on the offensive end IMO.

Madbamahater, just tell us really what you think about JJJ.

Man on man, JJJ plays .5 minutes avg. more per game (30 whopping seconds). Then, which sword you willing to fall on for your argument. Anyone can pick and choose. 12 steals vs. 3. 42 rebounds vs. 28. Yes, there are stats that DK has that is much better than JJJ. We are blessed to have picked him up. Come on, they are both valuable and thank goodness they both play for OUR team. I think Coach knows just a tad more than the average message board coach. I just realized I committed the cardinal sin on this message board. I used actually figures. Sorry. Ban me Freak if you must.

You do realize he is playing the 4 at 6' 6" right? Pls hazard a guess at the %'age of games his "size and length" give him in advantage in the post (hint: it's rarely if ever).

I think he does need more minutes because knecht is going through a physical adjustment playing defense for Barnes. I can't recall a player who didn't struggle with that in their first year. How quickly he gets over the wall will dictate how far this team will go.
