Love Josh, but Jessie’s our best player.

Love Josh, but Jessie’s our best player. There's more to scoring points. Josh is an elite defender and rebounder and scores at a solid rate. Imagine his numbers if he played more minutes. Govan is atrocious defensively and costs us points on that end.

Govan is atrocious defensively and costs us points on that end. Agreed with this take. Jessie is our best offensive player. But Josh is the best overall player, and it’s not particularly close.

I love Josh and think he will be our best player one day, but right now he can't create his own shot and can't score consistently outside of 5 feet. He is our best defensive player but not our best overall player.

Doesn't matter. LeBlanc is 2 games into his freshman conference season and people are arguing if he's the best player on a team that, likely, has the best big man in the league. Everybody wins. Hopefully, it translates to team success.

On the CBS broadcast Rafftery referred to a conversation he had with Ewing in which he said he tries to keep Govan on the floor as much as possible because he's the team's BEST PLAYER. But what does he know compared to all the keyboard warriors among the Hoyas fanbase, the same guys who think they're qualified to pick or adjust starting lineups? Love LeBanc but I doubt opposing teams are even game-planning him yet. They most definitely are for our most vital player, Govan.

The problem is that opposing teams game plan AGAINST Jessie on the defensive end.

We can all agree to disagree. I'd take Josh 7 days a week and twice on Saturdays!

If Trey starts when he comes back, I'm going to be mighty disappointed in Ewing.

I really wish that Jessie started out with Josh's energy and enthusiasm. How different Jessie's Georgetown career might have been if he started out with Pat.
Rooting hard that our most important player gets his first and only NCAA appearance in his last year! And that our most exciting player gets in his first year here.

Things like energy and motor are usually either there are not (though it can be learned to some extent). Josh LeBlanc would be a high energy player regardless of who the coach was. I highly doubt that Josh got his energy and enthusiasm from Ewing - in fact, that's probably part of the reason Ewing wanted him!

I think it was a major reason behind recruiting Josh, and for James and Mac too. Pat wants high energy kids - just like he was. You want to win? Recruit winners... and all 4 kids were on championship teams in HS, weren't they? Loving this frosh class

If Trey starts when he comes back, I'm going to be mighty disappointed in Ewing. Don’t agree with this at all: a player especially a senior should not loose his job due to an injury. Josh will be on the floor for 30+ minutes anyway and at the end of games. I do agree that he is our best player and most important.

I know RAF is getting old and his MAN TO MAN isn’t quite as sharp but man was that a well announced game.
