You might be right. Heck, you might know more than Pearl, who said that JP has made a lot of progress, he's stepped up, he's much more productive now, and it's gonna be up to him and Tatum to fill the roles of Chris and Jajuan. He went on to say he trusts JP and has confidence in him and that, while Hopson and Maze are good, it's up to JP and Cameron to fill those roles - NOT Hopson or Maze.
We'll see how your opinion weighs against his, since you think I'm shallow enough to base my opinion on the simple fact that he's from Memphis. Oh, did I forget to mention that he played the entire season last year injured and still hung 13 on Memphis and I forget how many rebounds in less than 20 minutes of play - Lofton scored 7. Pearl says he's had a 'terrific fall' thus far.
