Re: JJ Hickson: AKA "4 TIMES THE STEAKKKKKKKKKKKK"
Doubt it, bbaes. I'm fairly certain that it's because AFTER your tweet to him, I tweeted him (and DM's followed) about not paying attention to the haters (you) and doing what he knows he is fully capable of doing. He then told me that I was a great influence on him, blah blah blah. Long story short, he said I was his hero and he now sends me 1% of his game check after every game.

Yep. I think most of us knew he would struggle without Jamison stretching the floor.
Sessions, Gee, Samuels, and JJ all on the court at the same time is going to lead to some floor spacing issues and offensive struggles for all of those guys.

The guy has to learn to play the four. Putting Jamison next to him ensures a really bad defensive team. Rare is the guy who stretches the floor like Jamison and can also guard post players and block shots. Very rare.

Scott said he would slowly transition JJ out of the center position, and he implied it would reduce his productivity. But JJ has did not make the most of his opportunities in this particular game.
That said this particular game we dominated until we started playing Eyenga, Parker, Sessions, Samuels and JJ with 5 min left in the first half. During that 5 minutes we made two treys and two free throws but missed 3 midrange jumpers and a layup. Coughed up two bad passes, commited a shooting foul and got blocked twice in the lane both Ramon, both blocked by the rad man.
Another oddity is that Samuels played without a rest until 6 min left in the third. The team had scored 3 points in the 3'rd at that point. In the next 6 miuntes they scored 16. After JJ makes series of mistakes, Scott puts Samardo back in with seven minutes to play with Davis, Gibson, Parker and Graham ??? and smardo does not touch the ball again unless he gets a rebound.
So I am thinking Scott was riding Samardo to see how long he can play before he is gassed, and then went to JJ thinking he would play the rest of the game. JJ loses focus and Scott yanks him. I think when we look at these games we have to recognize that Scott is less interested in winning right now than he is in developing his young players and measuring what he has got to work with. There is no other way to interpret the lineups he used in this game anyway. We know he likes Samardo's work ethic. He has not made similar comments about JJ's work ethic and I think that is a hint for JJ.

In the beginning of the year, I thought Samuels was straight up trash.
*Samardo gets ball low post*
*Deafening thumps as he CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP's his way across the lane*
*Telegraphed shot easily blocked*
But man he's really doing his shit lately. And you know... I feel a lot better about Samuels right now than I do about Hickson.

What? JJ is no one's Dwight Howard. JJ couldn't hold Dwight Howard's balls without dropping them. Dwight Howard leaves more basketball acumen and ability than JJ possesses in the toilet every morning. JJ is Ryan Hollins with a slightly better jumper. Not Dwight Howard. Nothing like Dwight Howard.
