His 3s have been ugly. Not even close. We need a shooting coach.

A good outing would go a long way in restoring his confidence.

Keep putting in the work on dribbling skills in traffic, mid range game, and 3 accuracy. I hope and think it will click for him. He does remind me a lot of Copeland though. Similar size, very smooth looking player, lots of potential, but hasn't really had all the pieces come together yet. Unfortunately, Copeland had a much more refined game as a freshman than Jamarko. He just lacked toughness, intensity and improvement during his time here. |

I think most of us would agree that it was time to start Blair and sit Pickett, but after watching his performance or non-performance today I started to think that maybe Patrick had been making a strategic move up to this point. Maybe he knew that Blair would handle not starting better than Pickett. Plus Blair's confidence seems to be higher than Picketts right now, so he would be better coming off off he bench and adding a spark to offense if needed. There were only 2 points scored by bench today and that was Dickerson of all people. Pickett still has not been able to match his game to the rythym of the college game so far. He is either moving too fast or too slow during the game. The starting five of the Hoyas more than held their own with Seton Hall's starting five, but when each team used their bench the Hall's were much better than the Hoyas'. Some one in another thread asked if coach K or other top Ten coach could do better with this team. The answer is an emphatic NO! What these coaches understood that III unfortunately did not, was that you can have less than five super star players starting if you have a strong pg. this team does not have that and so they would get the same or less from this team. Patrick can count on but two players for offense, Govan and Derrickson. He has tried to get Pickett to be that third person but mostly has had to rely on Blair, after that it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates.

His long, thin frame causes him to expose his high dribble and get easily stripped (e.g. Powell yesterday)...he tends (along with a few others) to
telegraph his passes, another source of turnovers...he needs to watch film of guys with similar builds (KD ?) to learn how to protect his dribble...the first rule of passing is to see the defender first, and make/locate the pass or not make it at all...too many times (especially yesterday) guys failed to recognize a
defender in perfect position (Powell with 6 steals) and made predictable or lazy passes that were stolen...it also helps the passer if the recipient senses
he's being overplayed, to take off past the defender and cut backdoor...as far as JP, try to minimize dribbling/passing...flash to the foul line, catch and shoot...run the baseline for an occasional alleyoop...box out and go up THROUGH the ball on rebounds...don't stand under the basket and pogo stick rebound...
continue to work on his defense by moving laterally...keep the game simple and play efficiently in the flow...its a process...

Without a floor general players are forced to do too much. You basically can play our guards to pass, because you know they are not good shooters or penetrators. Also, our guards can't hold their dribbles and need to fake more. Too telegraphed.

Again, and again. Although we need Pickett he needs to sit, watch and learn.

His 3s have been ugly. Not even close. We need a shooting coach. He's rushing his shot and taking his left hand off of his non shooting hand to quickly. Yup need a shooting coach. |

He has been missing, and badly sometimes lately, but I think that is more a function of him rushing his shot than bad mechanics. He seems to be rushing every aspect of his game for the last few games as he tries to make something happen for his team. It is hard for a young palyer to let the game come to him, especially when he is struggling like he has lately. Hopefully the game slows down for him in the next few games and we see some of that obvious potential start to shine. |

Physically he needs to add weight and muscle. Mentally he needs to get his head around the fact that players at this level are much better, and smarter than his former high school opponents. I'm willing to give him another year to mature but, as I've said above, he is starting to remind me a lot of Isaac Copeland. Curious to see how PE handles his development. |

I think expectations of freshman are way too high. The kid's body needs to mature and eventually the pace of the game will slow down for him. Kids that have physically mature bodies run into the same issue in terms of learning curves. He will be a gamer he just needs to keep building and working hard. I think the D will come and once he has the strength, he can add other dimensions to his game outside of just being a spot up player. I am sure the same will be true of every freshman we have coming in next year too. |

This kid is going to be just fine. May take him a little longer to develop than we thought, but he’ll be a big part of the reason we should make the tourney in his junior year.

The cupboard is bare, so the frosh can't defer to upperclassmen. Regime change requires some patience- I hope not too much.

When things click for him, hes going to be amazing. It wont take long...its concentration and presence of mind. He needs to slow down a bit.
Jamorko has tasted success before, and his lackluster play is probably surprising, and definitely frustrating to him. He has to keep working, and take lots of shots under coaching supervision. Its probably a few critical thing that he can assess looking at film, and through drills in practice...I think its his shot followthrough. It will come to him with work, and mental preparation.

During the Hall game they showed Coach Ewing talking with Pickett on the sideline. There was a clear view of Pickett’s face. He was listening intently to his coach, did not even seem to blink. Give him some time, he will put it together.

He makes me think of Giannis (Mil. Bucks).
