If hes still turning it over at 28% you still think so? Not trying to be a smart ass but legit question. Theirs been no real improvement from that. And I dont think hes got a good enough shot to make up for it.
Alabama is on a 10-0 run and has tied Tennessee at 33 with 21.6 seconds remaining in the first half. The Volunteers haven't scored in 3:02
Halftime: Alabama 33, Tennessee 33
Alabama ended the half on a 10-0 run capped off by a long-range 3 from Jaden Shackelford.

Coach oats needs to implement the rule that gurley and Gary get one 3pt attempt per
Game… geez could build the whole block
With those bricks

Jd just needs to let loose. He’s too worried about passing. Go try to score some. Herb, Petty and Reese aren’t looking so bad are they?
He's hitting a freshman wall right now.
He's an elite athlete, can finish in traffic above the rim. He rebounds well for a PG He has to work on his 3 point shooting but no better place to work on it than at the next level with better coaches and no worries about going to school.
If you watch some of his HS tapes, he's better at shooting the mid-range than the 3 at this point but shooting the mid-range isn't a part of Bama’s system. He's a Russell Westbrook type of player and there will be team's that will fall in love with his explosiveness.
Oof, ugly ugly basketball tonight. 4-16 from 3 point... some really awful turnovers from JD (5 of them)... but it's somehow tied.
The only thing keeping us in it is Tenn missing a key player and I thought they got a bit gassed late in the half. If they are all on court we're in trouble right now IMO. Play like this against the barn the way they're playing and the game is over already.
And who would have guessed Gurley would be the one keeping us in it until we finally hit an outside shot or two.

I really thought Keon Ellis would be a bigger piece on offense this year… forget he’s out there at times
Agree about scoring. When it’s end of shot clock and he’s forced to drive he scores most of the time. Attack early. He’ll drive soft then turn around and poorly lob a pass out. Turnover city
I do; his game will translate better in the NBA. There isn't an NBA coach who doesn't think they can get him in the gym and work on his two weakness, TO and hitting the 3. He has some things that can't be coached and that is what will get him drafted.
Yep. He passes up a ton of shots and often just stands over in the corner uninvolved
You’re correct. I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick it up for us though. I know he’s a good player but… we need him to be the good player now lol
JD still has plenty of time to show his value.
All he has to do is put it together in late Feb and show out in March and he'll be a lottery pick. When it works for him he stands out on any college court. When he rushes into the lane without a plan he looks like a kid not used to most players being able to stay in front of him.

I think it’s outrageous that he’ll be drafted but I agree he will be.
Hard to say. You can definately see how passive he is. Even on misses he doesn't put pressure on the D when he brings the ball up the court. Love em or hate em Shack and Q throw caution to the wind and go balls to walls towards the basket. Kid has to be suffering from confidence issues. Couldn't tell you the last time I saw him go to the rim with bad intentions.
That is why the NBA sucks. Such a watered down league compared to the past. And Primo was better than JD at this point.
Y’all can tell me about potential and ceiling but what does JD do right now that makes him NBA even close? He jumps high. I love the kid and hope he leads us to the title but right now he’s a walking turnover, no outside shot, and routinely gets lost on D letting former auburn scrubs knock down easy baskets on us. JQ gonna have to carry us. Great minutes from Gurley. Shack needs to find it. We win this game by playing harder and rebounding. Tennessee mailing best player and another good one and we’re barely hanging on. Keon needs to step up and help. Come on Bama!!!!! Leggo!!!
10000000% agree. Primo was two years away and he was licked 12th in the first round. I think JD may get drafted on social media highlites from JD???? Herb Jones stayed and developed a game and he actually plays in the NBA and contributes. I don’t blame the players at all but JD and Primo are prime examples of bad “one and done” players who could really help a team and develop skills.
They sure haven’t mentioned him not being out there but he’s been playing a lot of minutes lately. I sure haven’t seen him.
To each his own, but I enjoyed watching the NBA in the 80’s and 90’s, just like I enjoy watching today's NBA.
The watered down remark just shows your ignorance on the subject. Today's player on a roster 1-12 is more skilled today than the players in the past. You can't hold and call it defense today like you could back then.
You can't try to intimidate a player by fouling them hard just because you're not athletic enough to stop them from getting to the rim. That wasn't basketball IMO, it was cheap and it allowed lesser-skilled players to remain in the league.
My gripe about the game is the flopping and the overuse of the 3 by players who shouldn't be shooting them, but that's transitioned to the college and HS games...
It may be trivial but why is Ellis sporting green shoes? It's just drawing attention to his poor play so far.
Don’t need Shack bringing the ball up EVER. That 3rd foul on JQ was horseshit. Can’t take him out bc he’s the only one who can get his own shot.
When shots are going in, we are hard to guard but everybody is. Can you find a way when they aren’t going in and make people guard? We are just too easy to guard when the three aren’t falling or we aren’t running. No motion off the ball makes it easy for them to recover. They always know where we will be standing in the half court.
Just came in didn’t he? I thought he was the guy that scored on the JD assist.
