That's what I remember too. He was great in passing lanes outside the paint, but he could have been a force in the paint rebounding and blocking shots if he wanted to.

Right. I think he was just a little to thin to be bang'en with the bigs.

Impressive that Moore(a 3* coming out) is being compared to Prince(a 5* if Im not mistakin).

CCM gets it.
And this year he gets us there!!!

Ya know, I don't see a bit of J. P. Prince in Armani Moore. Two very different players. Moore is a physical specimen who is going to beat you by overpowering you. He comes at you with a PF game. Prince was a finesse guy who was a very skilled passer. He was a PG playing the PF. Neither can shoot a lick, so there is that in common.

The truth is strong in this statement. I agree about Prince being a more skilled passer. But,(and maybe I am giving Moore too much credit) I don't think Prince was that far ahead of where Moore is now finesse wise. On D I would take Moore, and on O I would take Prince. But for the convo of tweeners, I think their is a comparison.

You guys are talking about the same JP Prince that was one of the best defenders, if not the best, during his junior and senior seasons? He had a big defensive hand in stamping our tickets to the Elite Eight.

JP Prince was an absolute stud down the stretch for Tennessee.

Didn't he fall off the side of Temple's basketball court, for one of his shoulder injuries?

Clumsy. IMO

He so didn't foul that MSU player either

You are right. What a bitter pill to swallow. I got up at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning and flew to St. Louis so I could say I was there when Tennessee qualified for the Final Four. Sitting there that last sequence was like watching an episode of "Twilight Zone."

Any concern this might be a problem with Jordan Cornish too? I ask because their size is very similar.

By the way, I like the comparison between Moore and Prince. I've said the same thing several times while watching.

Cornish seems to be a little more refined offensively with a better jumper than Moore, but he will be facing the same obstacles moving from high school to college that Moore did last year which could stunt his development.

His shot is a little flat now, so I imagine moving a foot back in college will further expose that flaw in his mechanics if not corrected.

Neither could shoot. Both playing the same position (albeit out of position as PFs). Both were in love with driving to the hole (Prince through the paint, Moore along the baseline).

I think there are a lot of similarities to their game. Physically, you are correct. Their physical statures allow them to be successful at different things, but it doesn't remove their similarities too.

JP didn't start consistently playing defense like he was capable of until the second half of his senior year. In fact, he was downright lazy defensively prior to then. I say that because he showed flashes as a junior that made you say "wow", and then he would give his matador impression two plays later. He showed what he COULD do, but rarely gave you that effort night in and night out.

He may also hold the school record for fouling opposing three-point shooters, but that's another story for another day. :)

Not only the most total,but the most consecutive games as well. There was one stretch where it seemed like he fouled a three point shooter about six games in a row. :blink:
