Damn !!! Damn !!! Damn ...
JV is just too slow, very robotic. He whines A LOT whenever he gets called for a foul. Not sure about his basketball IQ either, but i'm pretty sure its higher than Ross but that's not saying much.
Defensively, again he's too slow, he's always a step late. Basically he's a mess.
Offensively, i see improvements in his post up game, its not great but not bad either. Just one thing, he needs to ask for the ball NEAR the rim, you know in the painted area. That's where he should be posting up. For some reason this guy always ask for the ball in the Dirk Nowitzki spot, you know close to 3pt lineMamba Mentality

I agree he is too slow on defense, but that is exacerbated by the defensive system being a total clusterfuck that only "works" when playing small.
Three seasons in and there's a major disconnect between what he has been doing on the player development side and what the coach wants from him in game. you don't get to have great strength as well as great agility and speed unless you're Lebron.
Guy is 22 years old, and he's shown a lot of promise. If this organization figures their shit out this summer and defines what kind of player they want him to be, then he'll excel. otherwise he won't.

Very poor game on offence for JV last night. Decent game defensively, especially cleaning up the boards.
Most troubling for me were his emotional displays/general disposition. While he definitely got completely hosed on a few calls, you can't let that affect you in must win game. Now, some might chalk this up to immaturity, he's only 22, etc. I'm not so sure about that. I'm not ready to give up on him, but this series hasn't done anything to improve my opinion of him.
What he desperately needs is a coach who makes it clear, in no uncertain terms, that his moping is unacceptable."Stop eating your sushi."
"I do actually have a pair of Uggs."
"I've had three cups of green tea tonight. I'm wired. I'm absolutely wired."

While I agree that he should stop moping and complaining, how would you feel watching your guards chuck up shot after shot, bricking them all and you are runnnig baseline to baseline and not getting any touches? The coach needs to figure that part of the game out first before he can get on JV about his attitude.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

They did during the Bosh vs AB era. They did during AB vs DD era and they are doing it now for DD/KL vs JV era. It is pattern and I think the reason is that thinking more highly of the potential of the young player, gives them hope of better days in future.
The reality is if you had a poll on this board about a 3 weeks ago and would ask, who would play better in a series between Washington and Raptors, Gortat or JV , almost 95% of the board would have voted for JV despite our guard plays or our coach.
However, in this series, Gortat has destroyed JV. JV is a good player but one thing is for sure, his potentials are not one of a super star and maybe even an All star. He has a lot to learn and he needs to make changes and our fans should realize that.
