Tavario Miller actually has developed some moves and will contribute on the offensive end.
Well he actually did. Went from essentially being a black hole to contributing a little bit.Mikeyshooter said:

Not really bashing Tavario. He is what he is and we love him for it.
More making fun of those swore he was much improved and expected him to contribute more on offense.

A lot of you have been following Aggie basketball too long and only conceive jj Caldwell in the context you know; dash Harris, Jamal branch, j Mike Reese, etc.
There were national reporters that watched jj Caldwell at eybl tournaments and said he was the best pg in the country. Better than fox or Dennis smith jr. He was rated lower than those guys because he is only 6'0. But as a college point guard he will be the best we have had since acie law from game one.

I'm always skeptical of pass first pgs coming from hs. Really hope he has a reliable outside shot.
If you like score first PGs, then T.J. Starks (whom Acie Law had some nice words about after he worked out some with Starks in Dallas) may end up being your cup of tea. He definitely seems like a kid in HS who was thinking shot first, pass second.wacarnolds said:Aston04 said:

Agree that eventually he needs an outside shot, but pass first pgs tend to work out well when surrounded by 4 talented scorers.
I was just messing with you. I know you weren't always such a curmudgeon.Method Man said:
Btw bob I was wildly optimistic in the BCG era. Was super critical of Turgeon until he proved himself. I've been more critical of BK.

Yeah, so I meant best as a traditional point guard. I should have been clearer on that point.Quote:
If he's better than Alex Caruso or Donald Sloan were as upperclassmen right out of the gate I'd be pretty surprised. I know Sloan was better as a two, but he was also a really good point guard when he had to be.
I guess that depends on what you are trying to accomplish.Quote:
Anyway, what's more important is that he doesn't have to be the best point guard we've had since Law from the get-go, he just needs to be good enough to get the ball to the right people and take care of it.
Did you take the same view on De'Aaron Fox and Dennis Smith Jr.?Ags #1 said:
Widlely optimistic because he has never played 1 minute of college hoops
But he's scrimmaged with 4 of the better players in college basketball all year.Quote:Quote:

Does it? I'd hope when we have a junior guard like Gilder, and the front court that we're going to have, that we aren't putting just an incredible amount of pressure on a freshman point guard.mdanyc03 said:

I was just thinking that if we want our PG to distribute the ball, he's gonna need to have the ability to penetrate the defense and get to the paint and be able to finish when necessary. Part of our problem this year was that we didn't have anybody who could get to the cup on a consistent basis. We asked so much of Admon that by the end of the year, he couldn't do it consistently. <---think Caruso back in 2015 when we reached the NIT.bobinator said:Does it?

To me if he can defend the perimeter well and just take care of the ball, get us in our sets, and hit shots when he's wide open, then we'll be doing pretty good next season. If we're asking him to do much more than that, then we probably have some issues.
That's not to say he can't do better than that, and if he surpasses those expectations then even better, but we should be REALLY good even without him being anything too special.

One of the most electrifying Guards in the Nation, J.J Caldwell put on a show for the North Texas Crowd. In the Semi-Final game he lead the way with 27Pts, but in his final HS Game he put up an impressive Triple-Double.21Pts,10Ast,10Reb! SATCH Mavericks won the HSAA Texas State Championship. The 5'10" PG will be playing in the loaded SEC Conference for the Texas A&M Aggies next season.
