He is balling right now for the Pisotns 8pts in the 2nd quarter on 2 3s and a stick back. Getting torched by Tatum on the other end tho. Well in all fairness Tatum has torched everyone the last 2 weeks.... True. |

Pickett's stats are down recently. Also, too many turnovers. Looked much better earlier in the season. Still pulling for him.

They put him on Tatum and Tatum bullied him. But the back 2 back 3s in the corner were nice. It's also good that Cade Cunningham saw he was open and got him the ball even on the 1st one he missed so Cade knows he can shoot. |

He'll get a cup of coffee in the league at some point -- but saw him live about a month ago (went to see Greg Malinowski's debut with the Go-Go, where his entire stint was VERY short-lived and not sure he ever got any run) and happened to be playing Jamarko's team. His game is pretty much what it was for the Hoyas, even though does have more bulk and more motor. Wish him well but the small sample size says he may get his jersey on the wall (now in the TAC I think) at some point but is gonna have a long career in Europe... Ironically (or perhaps not ironically after all), the ONLY time I've seen a Hoya coach at a game in the DMV all year -- and I've gone to my share of HS games -- was that night when I saw Kirby there... |

Since he played for the Pistons (not G-League), does he not get his jersey on the wall? Like all things Georgetown basketball, unclear what the actual criteria is to get on the wall, but I think (and welcome what others may know or have a firmer basis to believe) that it requires something more than a ten day/limited contract call up (and not sure if that is what Jamrko had or if it was once something more). Seems to me this issue arose when PEjr made it to the wall only after he got a more complete contract, and we have a few players of recent vintage that may well be in this same uncertain area maybe Chris Wright and Dejuan Summers in the same boat, or maybe they’re up lready?) Of course, we all know that if one of the Thompsons said/say you belong, your jersey would be up the next day… |

Bobby Churchwell is on the wall and played a total of 24 NBA minutes. BTW, I support Churchwell being recognized. And I think any floor time in a regular season game is sufficient. I don't need to add a snide comment about the Thompsons.
I do think Ronny should leave GU, but burning any and all Thompson acts is beyond my pale.

Yes I am really watching a Pistons game instead of the tournament. Jamorko getting a long run in the 2nd cause of some great individual defensive plays. Playing alot of 2 guard right now. Needs to present himself as an option on drives for the kick out but defensively playing really well so much so he ran with the starters for the final 6 minutes in the 1st half.

Wow good for JP - I thought he was being lost in the G-League. He's getting playing time and much needed experience. He almost looks like a veteran with confidence.

Of all the delusional posts on this board……Jesse was as good as a sophomore as he was as a senior. Really?!? Lmao I knew you didn’t know basketball, but didn’t realize it was that bad. Pickett was nearly the same all four years? Did you watch any of his career? Like, any of it? It’s quite funny how either everyone forgets the player he was coming in or is so blinded by the Big East Tournement that they believe there was some massive improvement. There was none of the greatly improved Pickett talk when things were going bad last year. In fact it was quite the opposite. The other thing people seem to be forgetting is he played mostly on the perimeter his early time and then moved to more of a closer to the basket player as he filled out and was just older than everyone. He got a little better in his time here but I would say less than just natural maturity projections. Let’s not forget he was a Top 75 player coming in and he had a year to a year and a half on everyone his last season. For example he’s 18 months older than Mamu. |

Actually, it’s not likely to happen. Despite your own single mindedness, Pat is not some kind of puppet master who turns players with talent into players with less talent any more than he prevented Aminu from receiving the Big East freshman award. The most likely course is that Aminu would mature further and round out his game, the team’s success or lack thereof notwithstanding. Best case, he was the same player at the end of the year as he was when he started. But, the reality is that he got worse. Maybe he got some brilliant instruction that he refused to accept (Ewing would probably think this was the case) but, more likely, the coaching was crap and it reflected on the court. More of that will not help him. Check your eye prescription my guy. |

He put on 20 pounds and filled out so sure he got a few more rebounds. Jamorko was also old for his class just like Aminu is so of course he looked better playing against much younger players as time went on. My point is if he left after his freshman year he would be in a better spot than he is now. The only stat that went up enough worth talking about from his freshman year was his rebounding. His junior year was better than his senior year so that last year was certainly just him losing money. Just like Yurt lost money transferring here. In your opinion what players that transferred out improved based off of coaching rather than maturity or improved at all for that matter? Akinjo probably but anyone else? I'm not even disagreeing with you on Ewing but to automatically say he would be better elsewhere isn't exactly facts either. Honestly I don’t even think Akinjo is better. Mac definitely wasn’t as Texas Tech. They were just been put in better positions to win. More actual improvement is done outside college coaching than in these days by trainers and such. It’s all about putting your players in the best position to show their strengths and more importantly win games. That is what makes them stand out as far as pro prospects are concerned. Pickett and Yurt were used so bad and obviously not on winning teams here. Once they got to show those talents they got the chance. If they would’ve been part of winning teams here they would’ve been drafted and it wouldn’t have been so hard on them. Same is about to happen with Aminu. |

If you didn't see Pickett improve as a defender and rebounder over EACH of his 4 years here, you were not watching whole games closely. Jamorko for sure couldn't have shut down Mamu the way he did as a senior, even during his junior year. I have no idea which coach(es) are responsible for that improvement. So, we agree to disagree on Pickett, and, I, too am just totally gob-smacked that Ewing hasn't been fired, "retired". So, we agree on a bottom line, but... BTW, Pickettls "free season"would have been this year, not last. And Yurt left before his eligibility ran out, too. So, there's another thing you haven't paid close attention to. He put on 20 pounds and filled out so sure he got a few more rebounds. Jamorko was also old for his class just like Aminu is so of course he looked better playing against much younger players as time went on. My point is if he left after his freshman year he would be in a better spot than he is now. The only stat that went up enough worth talking about from his freshman year was his rebounding. His junior year was better than his senior year so that last year was certainly just him losing money. Just like Yurt lost money transferring here. Stars this, stats that. Don’t you know how to look at a players game and understand where they improved? What would you do without a box score? |

Twelfth in BE in scoring, third in BE in rebounding, fifth in BE in steals. Unanimous selection to all-freshman team. Pat is not going to “coach” a better handle or mid range jumper. That’s up to the player and his work ethic, which Aminu has. He is a good rebounder, that’s true. But, I’d hesitate to put too much stock into volume stats for the best player on a terrible team. He was extremely inefficient and seemed to have no clue what to do when he got the ball other than bulrush towards the rim and throw up a terrible shot. That got worse over the year and that is 100% coaching. Keep repeating the lie that he didn’t improve or got worse, maybe one day it’ll become true.. |

Of all the delusional posts on this board……Jesse was as good as a sophomore as he was as a senior. Really?!? Lmao I knew you didn’t know basketball, but didn’t realize it was that bad. He had a higher FG % plus more rebounds, assists and blocks per possession. His steals were about the same and he shot 40% from 3 compared to 41%. The only big drop was his FT% was weirdly low that 1 year but that is hardly coaching when it was surrounded by higher years. You like most that don’t know basketball are confusing more playing time for actual improvement. Then again I doubt many people are coming to you basketball knowledge like they do me. Hahahahahhahahahahahhaha Jesus you might be more delusional that boya. You’re a joke man. |

Lol all this projection from someone who can’t remember how Pickett played in his first two years…not to mention completely oblivious to the fact he literally played 4 different roles/positions in all four years. Literally you picked the worst player under Ewing to justify this lame “Ewing can’t teach players how to get better” delusion. |

They are giving him a look because of injuries. Grant and Cade Cunningham are out, so him and Livers are getting some run as the backup 2 and 3. |
