Hope he is referring to the ball behind him and not the junk he’s holding in front TBF there’s three pictures and all three have basketballs 🏀🏀🏀 Never let that get in the way of a cheap joke... |

Jagan looking downright skinny.

Don't know if anyone has pointed this out but this is Jagan Mosely's first time starting a season healthy since his freshman year. He could be in line for a bump in play & production this his senior season.

He could be in line for a bump in play & production this his senior season. I am not sure we need production as much as winning plays like he contributed last night.... key plays at key moments. One thing I noticed in one of the highlight videos is that he made 4-5 cheeky passes to teammates. He definitely was looking to be a ball mover. I am just glad there was absolutely no hesitation on those 2 beautiful threes. |

I am just glad there was absolutely no hesitation on those 2 beautiful threes. That is production... 7 points 3 rebounds and 4 assists are hardly stuffing the stat sheet. The significance of 6 of those points of 1 of those assists was extremely, extremely high. Perhaps, we have a different interpretation of production as the only players who produced in my book on Wednesday were Akinjo, Yurt, and Mac. The rest ‘contributed.’ |

He also had the initial steal when running the full court press that got us going. If you are looking at stuffing the stat sheet....then only Yurt, Mac and James deserved to start.

I am just glad there was absolutely no hesitation on those 2 beautiful threes. I can only imagine that it's unmet (and probably unrealistic) expectations of Jagan coming in that causes us to not see what he contributes. What he did in the game the other night is what he did most of last year too. Including the clutch threes and excellent passes. Yes, those have often been coupled with a bone-headed pass/turnover or a charge that he tried to draw and missed. But those too, I think, stand out more due to our expectations of an NJ POY coming in. I don't know what his physical history has been but, to the naked eye, most of the time it seems like he's struggled a bit with his shoulder. To me, he looks a bit more free and easy and maybe that's just my confirmation bias. Jagan isn't going to light up the scoreboard but he is going to make big plays that you'll need to be watching the game to see. He's done it before. And he's already doing it again. I'm hoping for a very successful year for the team in part because Jagan is a senior and he seems like the definition of a team-first player. |

Perhaps, we have a different interpretation of production as the only players who produced in my book on Wednesday were Akinjo, Yurt, and Mac. The rest ‘contributed.’ Keep in mind, if Jagan were, all of a sudden, taking a bunch of shots, you'd question why he wasn't passing it to the 3 guys you mentioned. |

Yes, those have often been coupled with a bone-headed pass/turnover or a charge that he tried to draw and missed. But those too, I think, stand out more due to our expectations of an NJ POY coming in. Let's be real. For his career, he's attempted 1.2 3FG per game his frosh season, 1.2 3FG his soph season and 0.9 3FG last year while averaging 18 to 23 career mpg. Plus, it's not like he averages 5 assists per game. It's just that any three he makes is clutch because it's so rare that he shoots in so many minutes per game and then makes it. Other teams dare him to shoot, yet he does not take more of them. Is it a confidence problem? I don't know, but it allows the defense to lay off him and double/pack somewhere else. Just like last year, I would like to see him try an average of 3 open threes a game in similar mpg. If he's hot, keep shooting and force the team to guard him. Same goes for Blair, but he does not need to be told to take the shot. He had a long leash of 4 3FGAs vs. MSM. Unless he's hot, that has to go down to 3 and give someone else (Myron or Jagan) that extra opportunity to see if they connect/get hot. |

And he had 1 great dunk in a losing effort against Seton Hall that has been fully ‘milked’, but I agree with PR that what we saw from Jagan is beyond what he showed us in the past....which is great news. If Jagan can continue to make important plays like he did against the Mount then we do not need him to average 10/6. If he refuses to be a liability on offense and takes and makes enough of the shots given to him, then he can the senior leader that we need. |

He didn’t make several clutch shots last year. He only made 10 3’s all year while averaging 18+ minutes. He hasn’t been clutch. But, hopefully, we get more of what we saw of him vs MSM. |

I hope we are seeing senior year Jagan and not just two great games. It would line up with what he did as a senior in high school.
