I've seen people say he doesn't look engaged at all which isn't a good sign
My advice is unless you observe it yourself I'd be wary of their comments since no one knows how the kid normally looks while on the bench. And as someone said prior to my post, nothing is stopping him for hitting the portal now if he was completely unhappy.

My question is has anyone observed Jaden's reactions to the games while sitting on the bench? That may tell a lot about where his head is.
Yes. He's disengaged. Last one in and out of a TO huddle and no excitement in the sidelines. Noticed it the first Maryland game.

Multiple people who attend games live have said it. You can see it at times on TV too but I'll defer to those who are at the games to comment

At least one who has been saying it repeatedly is not what I'd consider a good source and in the "Coach Pike Sucks" thread someone said the exact opposite about his attitude.

So who is right? Depends on which narrative you want to believe I guess.

I disagree with the body language observation. I believe he is a quite person, so you can’t expect him to be like Luke Nathan on the bench.

I had high hopes for Jones. But, he plays with zero intensity, fire or passion. He moves awkwardly on the court, not fluid in his movements at all.

His defense speaks for itself. He won't play at many places unless he brings some defensive intensity.

What's the deal with Jaden Jones is he with the team or not with the team. Hasn't dressed tells me he us no longer with the team

Someone said he got a concussion in practice. I think that's why he hasn't been with the team

His Dad texted something about Jaden getting better from Caleb when he won the award. Didn’t sound like the parent of. A kid with one foot out the door but who knows.

He is still with the team. He got dinged at a recent practice. I believe he will be a good contributor next season. He has an awful lot of talent.

Big role for Jones next year
No doubt. This team will be fine overall. People just has to be patient. How many of the guys on this forum spent a day in the shoes of these young athletes? Jaden will definitely be fine. Mag will be fine. Andre will be fine. Oscar and Jalen will be fine. Dean will be fine. I read the threads and view it as a comic book
