JBJ Freshman Highlights

[hoosierwhodey 1,256]

I think we overlook what JBJ can bring to the table next year. If he listens to the NBA feedback and improves on D he will be BIG-TIME!!!

Somebody said it in a thread earlier and I couldn't agree more. We go as Jimmy (and Troy) goes this year. Yogi is our leader and best player, but to get to the next level, we need big boy play from Jimbo.

I have an Instagram and Twitter where I have more. @btownedits for both. JBJ actually dmed me and asked for a different video and he texted me a couple of days ago asking for this one.

You left the second half our logo off...

Something I noticed while making this that I never really payed much attention to before and is not something you see much anymore is how much he follows the ball after his shot. Most guys will just stand there but right after he releases, more times than not, he's heading towards the basket. Luckily he doesn't have to worry about getting his rebounds a lot.

For a minute there I thought you left the Louisville dunk off, I was about to be so salty haha

haha yeah, IU only uploads home game highlights so it's harder to find away game one if they're not big plays like that

Very excited to watch JBJ again. His shot is a thing of beauty.

Completely forgot about that posterization of Harrell. Silver lining in an overall frustrating game but that was a great moment.

A couple times in the year, I would be so ticked watching the games, and he'd take a 3 when he clearly had an option to pass and I'd scream and shout at him for taking a bad shot and he'd make it. I would look like a fool. Other times, I was so hyped, it looked like we were coming back, and he took a 3 and I got my hopes up, he would miss it then the other team would go down and score. On his good days he is so fun to watch, when he isn't playing well, he's my least favorite player on the team.

Agree with this as well! JBJ and Troy are arguably our 2nd and 3rd best players after Yogi, yet last year they were also two of our more inconsistent guys. Understandable being young players, but if we're going to make noise nationally, those two guys have to be studs on a nightly basis.

It's also always puzzled me how JBJ can be the son of a coach (and really good player in his own right) and be SO fundamentally bad on defense. In terms of fundamentals and defensive principles, he's one of the worst players I've seen. He needs a monumental improvement in that area.

 Also probably the best 8 minutes of basketball Hanner ever played,untill he got yanked.I was like WTF!

Just saw in an early Draft Express for 2017 has JBJ at #40. Thomas Bryant #18.

Blackmon's development is certainly going to be one of those x-factors driving our team's success this coming season.  Regardless of how it turns out, JBJ figures to have a bright future as either an NBA player or a matador.
