Barnes should not start JJJ anymore. He is a huge liability on the floor. Mashack should take all of JJJ minutes. Mashack at least normally plays hard. JJJ looks like he is just trying to be the cool dude on the floor and it has ruined his play.

He just plays so soft offensively for his size.... It has baffled me his entire time here

Correct. He's always played tentatively on offense for some reason. Now in his mid 20s he's lost a step due to all the miles he's accumulated which just compounds things.

He had more FGs, same assists, more rebounds, same assists, and more steals than Zeigler, yet he gets an entire thread about him...

12 total points from two starters and the entire bench, doesn’t get much worse than that.

He sets all-SEC screens and is great at switching.

In all seriousness, who do you bench him for? Mashack has no offensive production, either.

I was just about to say the same thing. IDK who the answer is but surely someone on the bench can knock down an open three and play solid defense at that position.

More FGs? Ha: He had 1 FG tonight compared to 0 for Ziggy. James doesn't even try to score anymore. He's still playing on the defensive end--but he seems to have checked out, for some reason, on the offensive end. He's giving us virtually nothing--taking maybe 2/3 shots in 30 minutes--and this has been true for weeks now. I don't expect 15 out of the guy--but he's got a very nice jumper, got an NBA body and can get to the rim--when he tries. He doesn't seem to be looking to score.

The good news is the history says that JJJ has one more hot streak in him. The bad news is that history says it want still be going on at tourny time.

The problem is that we have too many of these types but dang, how can you be a fifth year senior and be this bad on offense. At least somebody else could be using those minutes to develop

It is just his personality. He will always be a beta style guy on the court, which isn't a criticism of him as a person, but that's just what it is.

Gotta take a chunk of minutes from him. He’s good for some rebounds and good defense, but he’s giving nothing on offense. Hard to run good offense when the opposing team is only having to guard four players.

My exact thoughts, he is not going to shoot over 4 or 5 times a game even if he is wide open.

No reason for a lost step... He is just entering his best physical years... The dude isn't 35 lol... It's a mindset and he will regret it... Yea he hasn't lived up to the 5* he admitted on Vol Confidential but he has no reason to fold and give in which seems he has

Gainey: 23 minutes, 0-3 (all 3s), 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal
Mashack: 15 minutes, did not attempt a shot, 1 rebound, no assists, no steals
JJJ: 30 minutes, 1-3 (0-2 from 3), 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals

If Gainey and Mashack want more of JJJ's minutes, they need to play well enough to earn them.
