When to shoot, when not to shoot...to wait for a better look, make the extra pass...his learning curve...he'll continue to be a valuable asset as he smoothes out these wrinkles with more experience...

Love his aggressiveness. Hope he stay aggressive. I think he will. Some guys get in a funk when their shot is not falling. Blair does not seem like that type. He is the prototypical gunner. No conscience. Whether he makes 10 in a row or misses 10 in a row, he'll keep shooting it.

I've said it before, Blair is the new and improved version of Reggie Cameron. I just hope he can learn how to become a more complete ballplayer, i.e. dribble penetrate, pass, pull up and shoot off the dribble, and play defense. Otherwise he will be a mere role player on hopefully a more talented team.

I think the comparison is based solely on the fact that pretty much the only contribution either could make was hitting some perimeter shots. Blair of course has much more time to develop other aspects of his game.

Blair of course has much more time to develop other aspects of his game. Blair's value, and the reason he is on the all-freshman team is his aggressiveness drew fouls. So much so, that he shot around 30% from two and still had 100+ offensive rating in conference. Blair has hit 60 FTs this season and it's not over. Reggie Cameron hit 53 in his career. Totally different players, skill sets, and value to the team. Blair earned every bit of that honor and I hope he continues to improve. He's really surprised me.

Not to quibble over Jahvon, I agree that he has great potential. But he actually shot almost 35% from two, not 30. And he shot fewer free throw per game than Kaleb it Mulmore. I realize he has more aggressiveness, but don't think he is on the all-freshman team because he shot 2.4 free throws a game.

You have to base the season's numbers on conference stats only in my view, especially if you're gonna compare players.. Mulmore & Johnson aren't the same players folks saw in the non conference season.. Blair shot 57 Ft's in conference, Johnson took 41 & Mulmore took 35.. www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/georgetown/2018.html

Kaleb and Mulmore feasted on the OOC. Blair kept pounding and upped his game as the competition improved. He didn't shoot all that well but got 28% of his points at the line (best on the team). If there was a crack, he'd take it for better or worse. That craftiness got him 10ppg. Apologies for using conference stats. I just didn't want to see another hs2003 post that begins with "But the OOC schedule inflated..."

Well it does make sense that for conference awards, conference games are the proper barometer. I stand corrected.

This is a worse than terrible comp.

Agree totally different players, skill sets etc. As a guard you would expect Javon to draw more fouls than a small forward like Reggie. But until Javon develops a more complete game he will continue to look to me like a role player that coach puts in to shoot 3's. Like I said a new and improved Reggie.

If Cameron were given the green light to keep shooting, he would have been a contributor. JT3 kept Reggie and Isaac on short leashes and zapped their confidence.

The numbers don't prove your theory Bigs, especially with Copeland who took 125 threes as a sophomore(half came in league play).. To me Cameron was lost defensively, that's where the staff messed him up.. Cameron was an Ethan Wragge type player, he was never meant to play SF..

Reggie actually had a pretty good sense for the game, but just was not quick or athletic enough to defend at that position, nor to take the ball to the rim consistently, which left him as a perimeter shooter. Given the defensive shortcomings, he had to hit shots immediately to justify keeping him in, and he was barely able to do so.

Reggie couldn't move quickly laterally and was a pretty slow straight-line runner as well. Juggy is a little shorter, but much faster and quicker side-to-side. He also has a much better handle (although a little shaky at times). And he's driven to the hole more his freshman year than Cameron did in his entire career at Georgetown. Blair's decision making needs to improve for sure.
Looking forward, as a potential 3-point sniper off the bench, Juggy will need to improve his freshman 3P shooting percentage of 33.6%.
That said, I profiled in another thread all of the best Hoya 3P shooters over the past ~12 years, and the average freshman 3P% was 32.5%. So, Juggy is actually doing pretty well this year from a shooting percentage perspective, especially considering his large volume as a freshman (Pickett and Blair have shot more 3s than any freshman over the past 12 years).
What gets me excited is that the average Hoya shooter increased his 3P% from 32.5% to 37.5% between freshman and sophomore seasons (roughly 5%).
If Juggy can get up to ~38% next year, he will become a serious weapon for us.
Finally, Pickett's freshman 3P% of 36.4% bodes extremely well for his future. He could become a 40% 3P shooter next season with just normal frosh/soph progression.
Keep Derrickson and Govan, add McClung, LeBlanc, and one more good guard who can handle, push the pace, create, find open guys on the perimeter, and finish occasionally at the rim (e.g., a better version of Dickerson), and we have a competitive team with real NCAA tournament aspirations.
