Anyone see JB2's Twitter calling himself a 6'4" PG?

Not a SG? Wow!

As do I. Not much to worry about. His bio was like that during the season

[HoosierSadaseci 2,258]

He knows what he needs to work on now, which is good, I expect a big season from James.

Do people really think Yogi told JBJ he was leaving and JBJ immediately thought "hmm guess I better switch my Twitter bio to PG."

[Bowhunter 2,693]

He has plenty of athleticism. . He compares well to Gary Harris.

Lmao, no he doesn't. Harris was a stopper on defense before getting to MSU. JBJ is anything but that and never has been. And again, nope, he is nothing but an average athlete

Even if JBJ just becomes an average defender it will be an exponential improvement over what we saw last season.

Lol no, I think it's funny he calls himself a PG :)

I'm willing to bet his vertical is better than what many think and when he goes to the combine some day, his numbers will be surprising. But I agree in the fact that he's definitely not as explosive as a guy like Gary Harris. JBJ is one of those guys that is so smooth it makes it hard to see how athletic he really is.

And if Harris was a stopper and this happens to him in the NBA...

...Imagine Blackmon lol

[Bowhunter 2,693]

HARRIS was really good his freshman year. He come back to school and improved his stock. I think they are very similar and Blackmon will prove my point next season. JBJ was streaky no doubt, but He has all the tools. However I don't even think he believes he's truly 6'4".

Talk about Swagger and Talent!

Blackmon has good vertical athleticism, as evidenced by his rebounding and poster dunks. However his lateral speed is what is lacking, which is what you need for defense. 

[LockdownD 2,224]

James had a nasty dunk on Harrell. It's all about motivation. (Hope this works.)http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CA0Q3ywwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1lXoGidrN9Q&ei=pns6VbekJ8nEgwSim4HQBw&usg=AFQjCNHG4nfEadj40alN5QGZu8ntcbqDCw

Motivation! Guess he got tired of MH slamming him to the floor.

Give me a guy who wants to play d and is not athletic vs an athletic guy who does not. He may never be BT defensive player of the year but if he understands the need for D and commits to it he will be fine.

Just saying you need to focus on it is not enough yet but a good start

Harris improved his stock and completely disappeared on one of the worst teams in the NBA
