Then carry this team to the tourney. Isn't that what you came back for?

Love JB, but I don't see that.

Agreed. He played much better last year

With is jumper basically being gone this year, he doesn't really have an NBA skill set. With his height and body type he'd be the perfect 3&D (shoot threes and defend) guy. However, he hasn't shown the ability to do either well this year. He probably could have a solid career overseas though.

Go to the invites play well and he'll be fine. Which is more than Clemson basketball under Brownell. On the open highway to no where.

With all due respect to JB... I must be missing something

KJ was twice as good as JB and he can't even see any significant playing time. If JB is the 20th best basketball player in the world hoping to get drafted... I might as well start calling myself Bruce Wayne.

What on earth makes you believe that KJ was twice

as good as JB?!? Just because he was an incredible athlete who had some nice blocks and dunks?
JB's skill set is well ahead of where KJ's was when he was in college. Don't get me wrong, KJ improved a great deal and was a very good player, but JB is the best basketball player we have had since Trevor Booker (and perhaps even better than that).

I disagree, but that's just my opinion.
I neither JB nor KJ were half as competitive as Trevor Booker. And I think that's why Booker is a regular in the NBA. I'd argue we've never had a better competitor in the history of Clemson sports than Trevor Booker. Never quit, was just nasty and you'd never convince him he wasn't gonna win his battle. I don't see that in JB. Much less his lack of a jumper or midrange game. But the jumper has started coming around, thankfully!
