Oh, I feel ya on him underachieving. I really liked Dex coming out of HS as well.
Felton and class...

Theo is naturally a SF and Theo is VERY rare.
Talk to me when Dex could pass, rebound, guard 4 positions, and lead a team like Theo.
Phil Ford didn't win one either. Make him less of a star for us?
Greatest college player we ever had.
Fans want the best out of players, but don't take the time to really check what kind of a player a guy is. Woods has never been called a strong shooter, but what he does bring and I am sure why Roy brought him in is gives us another guard that can push the pace in our secondary break the same with Dex. Those guys are great role players, but maybe not 20 point scorers, but if they do there job correctly they can give you 10pts 5 assist every game. Also both guys are unreal finishers at the rim (Woods is going to be stronger in this area after a year I promise). Not mad at any fan questioning those guys, but need to look at what they are being asked to do with there abilities. Every fast guy is not Raymond Felton or Ty Lawson and every SG is not MJ. In Dex and Woods case I really believe they were brought in because they are fast athletic guys that can pass and take pressure off our PG and apply even more pressure to opposing teams defense (notice all the guards we are getting to commit).
Dex was very athletic until his injury. Unfortunately he also had some of the poorest mechanics on his shot that I've ever seen. I still don't understand why it wasn't completely revamped.
7th is much the same, with a little better form on his jumper. So I have hope he will improve in that area. Still not sure if he has natural PG instincts but time will tell.
I hope to see marked improvement this year.

Phil Ford lived up to his potential..I saw plenty of him and Dex was never a point to begin with, talented,yes(but never realized potential according to the plan)..and 7th is TRYING to be a point also..hopefully his jumper is much better...summer is time to improve, otherwise, Felton will log more PG time when Berry sits
I think this year tells the tale for Seventh. He'll either find his niche and start to settle into the rotation or he won't. If it's the latter, I think he winds up transferring somewhere where he can start and play major minutes. I could be 180 degrees off here but I just feel he got too much notoriety very early on to settle for being a Nate Britt type role player off the bench.
I'm hoping it clicks for him this season, he deserves some fun on the court!
Me too, because I think he's just scratched the surface of his potential. He could be devastating in the open court.
I say start Joel and Kenny, then bring Jalek and Seventh off the bench. Bring the pain.
Could you imagine if a team is already gassed and they start relaxing because they see berry Theo and Kenny head to the bench only to see jalek seventh and Robinson check in... Talk about no rest for the weary lol
BTW: Going back to the OP subject, Jalek has made his way to Chapel Hill for pick-up games at least.
Yeah, he just can't participate in "organized activities" like the short summer practices.
Imagine we will see Jalek at point quite a bit this year
Jalek passed his summer class and got the grade he needed. Next step is sending his stuff to the clearance office (which always worries me with some of the inexplicable stuff they do) and hopefully next month he'll be enrolled and ready to go.
