RJ Did His Job

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Mr First Half did his job, and continued doing it well into the 2nd half, until his offensive gas finally ran low.

He even did a pretty decent job guarding Clark.

What happened to the rest of the team?

I’m a fan of RJ. insert him in joel berry’s team instead of jb, and u still get a chip.

I like RJ and is the mvp on this team after bacot. But I don’t think he is close to Berry. Rj is maybe a better shooter, but Berry was a bulldog and greatest leader, way better driver and pg passer, and way better defender than RJ.

I sort of disagree about Berry on the defensive end. He couldn’t keep a soul out of the lane. Had bad lateral quickness

I really like RJ I hope to have him back next year!

^ Yes, please. Armando as well. My jury is still out on whether Caleb returning would benefit us. I can
understand both sides of that argument. Puff shows flashes of ability and an outside stroke. I hope Seth, DeMarco and Dontrez return. I wish Tyler and Jalen had gotten a chance to develop.
Our bench just never had sufficient opportunities to showcase their skills. That’s a direct reflection on Hubert
and l hope it changes next season.

Any chance Cadeau reclasses and provides some PG depth behind RJ.

I’d love to see a backcourt of RJ, Cadeau, Trimble, Dunn and Wilcher.

Not if he has to run point. He’s not very good there. Move him to the 2 guard position but it is imperative we have a facilitator.

Cadeau depth at PG? Lol. The minute he steps on campus, he is without a doubt the best PG on the team. I’m torn on wanting him to reclass. On one hand, we need a PG badly. But if Cadeau really is OAD, I’d hate for his one year to be on a team that has little chance of accomplishing anything. The rest of the roster just isn’t enough to legitimately have a chance at much.

That bar is so low you could walk over it.

Maybe not. RJ is a good player. We've yet to see what some guys can do with more playing time, and lastly the portal is a game changer.

It's been discussed throughout the season, so really nothing new to add. I'm shocked at the very little we get from our overall roster for a team of our caliber. The lack of any real contribution from almost players 7 and on. Lack of any dependable shooting. The constant standing around (so easy to defend us). The lack of a consistent fast break. Our decline on O rebounding. Just can't see how this improves by bringing back much of the same roster and the same coaching.

May be one of the most disappointing seasons I've experienced as a Heels fan in many, many years.

I wish anything you said was incorrect.

RJ is certainly not the issue on this team. I can point to three other starters that were much bigger issues.

RJ plays hard and shoots well outside of the time with the hand injury. I do think he would be better suited paired with a true pass first pg but he’s a valuable asset to the team.

 

[randman1]

Love shoots too much. Has never been benched for it as far as I know and that's one reason for the failing season.

It's not necessarily him shooting too much, it's the quality of those shots.

I like both RJ and Caleb but my concern is we have watched this back court duo now for 3 seasons, for what ever reason they just do not play well together, as if their games just seem to conflict with each others. I think they have both individually improved as players but they just don't mix well together?

 

[CrazyHeel]

We better hope RJ stays. Trimble has shown me absolutely nothing, other than he can eat a basketball.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Unless RJ was one of those who voted not to play in the NIT, I really want him back. He's been my favorite player on this squad. That's not a knock against the other guys; somebody has to be favorite.

If he voted not to play in the NIT, then I no longer care.

Flip that for Caleb. Up to now, I didn't care if he left because - rightly or wrongly - I think he's a chemistry problem. But if he's one of the players who voted to play in the NIT, then he gets a pass and a clean slate in my book.

Of course. Learning to take good shots and make them is something that just hasn't happened for whatever reason.
