Do you guys think he has NBA potential?? He has the body, the athleticism, the handle, the defensive tenacity and more important, he can shoot. Are you guys aware that he leads the team in 3 point percentage at 45.5%??

Are you guys aware that he leads the team in 3 point percentage at 45.5%?? Boy, I hope he continues to improve, but at the level he's at now, I just don't see it. He's neither overly fast/quick nor deceptive with his first step, so I think he'd struggle to get into the lane and score, which despite the improved shooting, is his biggest offensive weapon. His strength would be less of an advantage in the NBA. Absent explosive penetrating ability, you'd need to be a knock down shooter. Maybe he really is now, and the rest of the season will bear that out (that would be great for both him and us!) On D, his defensive intensity is great, but he still gets beat off the dribble a decent amount, and I suspect his foot speed would be an issue there, too. Not a shot at him at all -- at the beginning of the season (heck, maybe ten games ago), this would have seemed like an absurd suggestion, but he's improved a good deal. But I think he'd need to improve a good deal more.

But I think he'd need to improve a good deal more. i think that is a huge stretch. Most two guards in the NBA have his athleticism, give or take. His handle, passing ability and shotmaking..both from deep and midrange would need to improve quite a bit. Remember...Austin Freeman, who would have to be deemed a much better offensive player (not D, of course) has never played a minute in the league. In any event...he is playing quite well right now..and gotta hope he was just a late bloomer.

Brilly has more NFL potential than NBA potential. This. He'd be a great tight end. He should seriously give it a try.

I'm not sure what his communication and interpersonal skills are like, but it appears he is very well respected by his teammates and coaches. If he's got the stuff, he would be one fearsome coach on the sideline.

He'd be a great tight end. He should seriously give it a try. Would love to see Jabril as a strong safety in the Kam Chancellor mode. He definitely plays basketball with a football mentality

Jabril's a decent college player, but the closest he's getting to an NBA game is if Otto leaves him tickets at Will Call.

Kid is turning into the leader of the Hoyas. This is only a little surprising because to lead he will have to continue to keep his emotions in check and his effort controlled. Earlier in the year he was attempting to will the Hoyas to victory with head down bullrushes into the lane that inevitably resulted in turnovers or fouls being called against him. His defense was overly aggressive and almost defying the officials to call the checks and bumps. Now he has been trying to lead the Hoyas to victory through a more controlled effort and focusing on his teammates and not woofing at the other team. Watching him encouraging Copeland, White and Peak on the floor is enjoyable.
On another note, I see much the same effort to lead from DSR. However, he is not as "loud" a player as Jabril and therefore comes off more understated. Together they have the mindset to pull this team through a very difficult upcoming stretch, with 2 games against St. Johns, 2 against Seton Hall and rematches against Butler, Xavier and Nova.

To me he just has not gotten any better. Being a Senior he is a disappintment, and sometimes terrible, like I said before against cupcakes he is great, but when teams like XAVIER last night again. He reverted back to the turnover machine, bulldog to the basket and it always results in the samething, a travel, offensive foul, or turnover. Kid just has not gotten any better and has no business starting, or getting starter minutes.

He caught some tough calls last night. How soon we forget his performance against Nova. I have confidence in him.

His past numbers and play speak for themselves. Being good or ok every 6-7 games being a Senior is not ok. He caught some tough calls? He was a turnover machine all by himself, how many times did he get called for traveling? He reminds me of Bennimon, he does not know his limitations on offense and thinks he is better then he really is. All in all when he plays like that he hurts the team.

He had 6 turnovers all by himself last night. 6 turnovers and 7 points, you cant argue with facts He was bad last night. He also, let's not forget, was hurt! To say that he's been inconsistent recently or only good one of six or seven games or only good against "bad" teams are all unfair criticisms. And false. Here are the last five games: He was bad last night (though was uncertain to play and clearly was in pain). Against Marquette, he got hurt. He played only ten minutes. Tough to blame him there. He had a great game against Nova. He had a great game against Butler too. 3-5 from the field. 6 assists; one turnover. DePaul? 4-5 from the field with only one turnover. Does it always look pretty? No. Is he sometimes (lots of times) out of control? Yes. But he's clearly improved. And he's been very consistent for us in BE play.

The problem is he is a Senior and a starter, I truly believe the freshman are putting unbelieveable pressure on alot of the upper classman that their play becomes way to inconsistant because they are trying to do to much, ala last night. On one of Jabril's turnovers he had Tre Campbell wide open for an easy lay up but he blew him off and took off and bulldogged into the teeth of the defense where he traveled. I think the freshmen are putting pressure and the upper classmen seemed to be crumbling under that pressure.

They won at Marquette without him, that says alot. If he was hurt he should of sat down, why hurt the team with your turnovers and trying to do to much? Seems the pressure is getting to be to much

He had a bad game. He has also has some very big games. Again, he played terribly and, you are right, if he was hurt he should have sat. But why is his desire to play somehow related to pressure from the frosh, etc.? Could it be that maybe he was just trying too hard to help the team, and not playing within himself, and reverted to old form of trying to do to much? The amateur psycho-babble stuff is a bit too much.
