NBA: make shots from behind the arc worth 1 point not 3; players foul out with 5 not 6 fouls. Basketball skills will return to the game.

Lol basketball is more skilled now than ever. Just because teams don’t run half court sets every possession and play out of the post doesn’t mean that basketball is devolving

You've hit on my biggest concern. Jaden looks great in these videos, but when playing against really tough defense, can he get open and make his shot under much greater pressure? That remains to be seen. But I'm optimistic and hopeful Jaden can be our next Quincy Douby. Hopefully he really wants a professional career and will continue to put in the work as he develops.
As a 6’8” guard/forward, he should be able to elevate over most guys who would be guarding him on the perimeter.

Lol he’s going to be compared to Lebron by the end of this thread. It’s tough to make a serious impact as a freshman at any level, let alone the big 10. Jones was a nice recruit but we’re not talking about a 5* here. I think he will be similar to mulcahy his freshman year. Maybe Myles cale at seton hall is a good comparison.

Jones won MVP at a camp loaded with talent including 5 stars. I think he’ll be a lot better than most think out the gate. Having the year with the team will also prove a huge plus. I don’t think he’ll be Kevin Durant or however others may be pumping him up from the start but a really nice piece who will be a stud for us.

having the same impact as Mulcahy would be the floor not the ceiling. In terms of style of game, not very similar at all.
