I love JMax, but realistically, a 6'6 PF is the ultimate small ball player, and we need to be moving away from that.
So all I'm saying is that JMax is probably headed for a life of chasing the 6th man of the year award, which isn't a bad thing to be. |
I will strongly disagree. I believe JMAX is a far better player vs. Chris Webber, and lightyears ahead of Mohammed, who both got minutes ahead of him at times last season. Mohammed, all year long, got like 3 buckets in the post when guarded by an opposing center. Webber could not get over to defend. These players had severe deficits, but they still played. JMAX is short for a 4. He is a tad slow for a 3. But so what, nobody is perfect. When you add up all the things he can do, it comes up to a pretty good sum. Excellent helpout D. Strong individual interior defense against anyone even approximately his size. A strong inside scorer. And, as many do not know, Maxiell has a fine midrange jumper. (Needs to just play, to get into rythm out there, and watch out.)
You ask would I have our players attack JMAX. With Sheed, of course. Not many in this league can stop Sheed when he puts his mind to it. Dyess inside against JMAX-no. Webber-no.
