Kaiden's a shooter, does anyone else know the other characteristics of his game?

Defense and rebounding is mostly about "want to". If Kaiden wants to get real PT during his senior year he will be at least passable. We have Aminu, Jordan, Sibley, TJ and Holloway that can all play the 2/3. If he is a liability he will get limit minutes and this will be a waste of his last year...

He was really bad on defense. It’s a big concern and why I wouldn’t start him. If he was bad against SoCon teams it’s going to be bad here too, even if he “wants it” more under Ewing.

If Pickett returns, you gladly take him. He’s become a great team player that doesn’t need the ball in his hands to contribute. Even in a scenario where Baldwin commits and we have an embarrassment of riches, Pickett starts. Harris, Aminu, Pickett, Baldwin, and whomever else.

Where has the Pickett noise come from? I haven’t seen what has given credence to this possibility?

Jamorko Pickett has ruined my life. First I loved him, then I hated him, then I decided to take him back, but then I felt I couldn't trust him so I was glad to be rid of him, but then lately I'm starting to have second thoughts. Am I better off with him or without him? He's not the only 6'9" forward in the world. But he played such great defense against Mamu. And he looks so good when he's hitting those long 3s. Nope. I have to move on. Bye Jamorko, it's been great and we will always have Madison Square Garden.

Would take him back in a minute. Cannot help if he did not live up to everyone's expectations at times, but he was loyal, played solid defense, rebounded well, played out of position his last two years (he is really a 3, not a 4) and begin to develop a more complete game offensively. Having said that, I cannot imagine he will come back as opposed to trying to play professionally somewhere next year--even in the G League. Whatever he decides, he leaves as a class act who contributed significantly to Hoya basketball during a very challenging period in the program's history.

If Rice is that bad on d, he won't be playing much.

I definitely want Pickett back if we do not get Baldwin. He can still improve (maybe not get drafted since his age) and become a very solid professional player and if he gets better and more confident dribbling he could be so good. I loved the plays when he would drive in and score making it look easy as anything because he can be that good, and players either need to concede to his height to keep up with him or try to play a similar size match up that he can out pace on the floor. I might just go find those plays for fun This, he just needs to finish more strongly at the basket, turn some of those scooping layup attempts to dunks. I pray he comes back. We could really use his defense, scoring, and rebounding.

I would welcome him back if the staff thinks it is the best possible option (basically if Baldwin doesn't come and the transfers are meh) because when he just catches and shoots 3s, and finishes hard at the basket he can be awesome especially when he locked down Mamu who every raved about and was useless against us more than once

Good luck my man, I am going to miss you! I have nothing but fond memories of your game Jahvon and the soul and impact you brought to the Hoyas. I hope you the best in your future! I'm going to miss that floater!

Not many other players Georgetown players I could name...if any...that I would rather shoot a wide open three. The kid always competed and he will for sure go down as one of my favs to ever put on a Hoya uniform.

He probably could also transfer almost anywhere he wants.
