I'm still here and I will admit my wrongdoings the first time he sets his foot ion an NBA court in an official NBA game Ditto. Will gladly eat crow. But, sadly, won't have to. Well actually he does have a chance so you already are. (nothing sad about it)

I am sure he'll spend time in the D Legaue but will get some roster time during the season. He had two exceptional summer outings. Honestly, he needs to play a little more selfishly, take the open shot and drive to the basket more often. JJ s outside shot has got much better. He is no Kwahi, but has skills and IQ.

Regardless if he makes it to the show, he's already proven you haters wrong. Suck it, trolls.

Regardless if he makes it to the show, he's already proven you haters wrong. Suck it, trolls. Geezus. He hasn't proven anyone wrong. Yet. No one ever said he wouldn't get signed to a practice squad or play in some D League games, etc. Ton of guys do that every year. My contention has always been that JJ was a fantastic college player. Had all around, though not spectacular, skills. Couldn't shoot worth a lick. Ever. And I think that'll be his achilles heel in the league. I also don't see him ever making an NBA roster and/or playing in an actual, regular-season game. If he does, I'll gladly eat crow. I'm not hating on JJ. -- just offering my honest assessment of his talent. Don't hate the haters.

Each team can only bring 20 to camp, of which 15 remain on the roster and 4 can be held for the d-league. He's already in a limited group. How many of the summer league players did they invite to camp? To get to this point is a big accomplishment. Don't minimize what he's done. To say "tons" does that. It's not true.

B) I don't even disagree with you for the most part about your assessment (other than he CAN shoot), but there are/were a solid group of trolls around JJ all year. I don't recall you as one of them and if I had to guess the comments were directed that way, not at those who were real fans and had legit questions about how his game would or would not transfer to the next level.

They are directing their comments to him specifically.

First to admit that I didn't think he'd make the squad. Very excited he did! You never know. In the right system JJ can thrive for a long time.

Awesome! Where are all those guys who swore he wouldn't get a sniff?? "No chance" was the quote. That's right, you know who you are. I'm still here and I will admit my wrongdoings the first time he sets his foot ion an NBA court in an official NBA game Why? As if he didn't prove enough by being first team all mountain west and captaining a team that won the conference and a game in the NCAAs, the fact that he's made it this far proves he was a fantastic college player. He's made it further than X or Brandon Heath...

People throwing a parade for this guy and they forget that the jazz are tanking. Might as well go the full retard and sign this turd and lose more games. Brilliant strategy. I've been on some form or fashion of these boards for about 12 years. In that time I've seen some crazy people, stupid people, arrogant people, and cruel people. Some of the most irrational beliefs have been thrown around on this board, from secret agendas of admins to conspiracies of NCAA officials. I have to say that your illogical and bizarre criticism of JJ despite his overwhelming successful career filled with both individual and team accolades, the praise of opposing coaches, local and national media, and now NBA scouts, and winning season after winning season might just take the cake of stupidest continual posts I've seen from one poster. Actually I take that back. Steve's Zumba conspiracy and JOC's reffing conspiracy are the stupidest. But yours is a close 3rd. At this point it just be pride that keeps you from admitting your idiotic thesis that JJ was a "fringe d1 player." The absurdity of your determination to continually defend yourself boggles the mind.

Frankly Tec, he's probably a highly immature non-Aztec that gets off on this kind of action. It's pretty sad.
I am stunned that they permit him Rio continue.

The HB's comments don't bother me at all because clearly he is trolling. The comments that truly annoy are the ones from guys who actually think, since they played basketball in some rec league for 20 years, that they actually know more about hoops than Fish, and NBA execs. The guys who are so smug that they say JJO has NO CHANCE to play in the NBA. And after the guy signs a contract they can't even admit that they were wrong... the NBA does not sign guys to contracts who have NO CHANCE.
He may or may not end up playing in the NBA but clearly the opportunity is there and it is greater than none.

I never said anything publicly but I envisioned JJ's career would play out only overseas. The fact that he's made it this far is a big, happy surprise to me and should be to any true Aztec fans.
He made it further than anyone who said he'd never make it in the NBA ever thought he would. Now haters stop being so technical about it, eat your crow and admit you were wrong for the 1st time on the all important Aztec's message board.
