I mean, it's just so disheartening. I understand he has terrible hands, and commits too many silly fouls, but Nino is shorter than Nancy Reagan and gets called for about two illegal screens every game. So, wouldn't you rather have the guy who change the way the other team plays offense and can occasionally rebound the basketball if all other things are equal?
-
He's the only one who hasn't improved. Pick your losses. Diaz is 2nd. Overall though, name a player who hasn't improved (Will doesn't count cause he set this whole year up for himself).
-
I think he uses JO just about perfectly

I'm not arguing that he has improved from last season. He's still brings a lot more to the table than Nino does, and is more effective than DJamer at this point. I'm not asking for the guy to play 25 minutes a game, it just kills me when he spends such looong stretches on the bench. It's be nice to see him in the game a little more to show the other team a different look on defense.
-
How good would we be if JO knew how to utilize JO???
-
He's using JO just fine, I've been the leader of #teamJO for 3.5 seasons. Weird time to mention this.

The reason I mentioned it tonight is because JO was playing well early on and got his ass nailed to the bench for most of the game after that. He only played 14 minutes opposed to Nino's 16 minutes. JO seems to be a player that needs some confidence if he's going to be a big time part of our team down the stretch (JO is one of two players who with improved play could really take this team to another level), and when oscar has a perfect oppy to let JO gain some confidence when he is really playing well, he instead plants him on the bench for most of the game. It seems like a wasted opportunity to me, no?
-
I heard that JO has some pretty serious back problems. Is that true?

It was weird because of how well we played, I would hope. JO is smart enough to know that his minutes were down because oscar expanded the rotation tonight because of the flow of the game. I do like JO starting, it may work for protecting he and Gip from early foul trouble, worked tonight.

I like him starting as well, I feel like it sets a better defensive tone from the get-go. I understand WHY oscar trimmed his minutes tonight, but JO seems to have a fragile psyche and anytime oscar can play him when he's going like that, well then I feel like you need to do it, score be damned.

I have heard this too. Now the word serious may be overdoing it, but his back has issues

How does oscar Weber handle the misapplication of personal responsibilities on the part of his players, and are the players personally responsible for certain items in the pregame environment under oscar Weber like they were under Frank Martin? There are other variables, but until we know the answer to the question, the other variables are irrelevant.
-
:confused:
Rarely is there an occasion where there is an either/or with Nino and JO. Its JO/Gip at the 5, and Gip played his best game of the season and had 21 minutes while JO played 14. The other minutes JO or Gip didn't play at the 5 were probably played by DJamer, and we also had about 2 minutes of JV time. The math is not hard; there are 40 minutes in a game for JO/Gip to split, with a handful occasionally going to someone else. And they don't play together.
Nino took a few minutes from Shane maybe tonight, but Shane also played some at the 3 while Rod was in foul trouble.

Does Angel lob to JO anymore? Seemed like he was doing that a lot last year.

The most frequent lob of the year is Sprads to Rod.

Yes, I understand what IS happening right now, that is why I proposed a hypothetical question about an alternate universe where oscar didn't have some weird excuse about Rodney's effectiveness to explain why JO and Gip don't play at the same time. Nino has shown us over the past few games that he just doesn't have anything to give against the Big XII. So, I think you've got to get JO and Gip on the floor at the same time for part of the game. The more that oscar can turn that into a 3 man rotation down low, the better imo. Nino gives us nothing right now.
-

I haven't heard this.
I think JO/Gip play the 5 because Shane plays the bulk of the minutes at the 4. I don't really have a problem with it and I think JO and Gip in the game at the same time wouldn't be good for the offense.
Nino absolutely needs to quit shooting unless he's within 10 feet of the basket, but he hasn't been a detriment in Big 12 play IMO.
-
the JO - Gip tag team allows oscar to protect his two best big men from foul trouble and play the motion game that oscar wants to. and it's been effective. running gip/JO off curl screens just doesn't seem like it would work quite as well in our offense, but maybe i'm crazy
i will be interested to see our starting 5 versus baylor, though.

He hasn't been anything in Big XII play is the problem. It's like playing 4 on 5 while he is out there. He's good for a 1 or 2 buckets every 15-20 minutes, but he's also good for 1-2 illegal screens (TO) and 1-2 17 foot jumpers (as good as a turnover). On the defensive end he doesn't get beat really, but the guy is like 6'5 1/2" so when he is standing there like a statue with his hands straight up, they just shoot the ball over him for easy buckets. Also, you're right about Shane playing most of the minutes at the four, but I think it would be nice to try and get JO and Gipson out there together when Shane is taking a breather. Would it really destroy our offensive rhythm to go big for 10 minutes a game? Because I think it would disrupt the other team's offensive flow, much more than it would disrupt ours.

The thought of JO/Gip being relied on to do what Shane is able to do at the 4 (and what that allows the other players to do) for any significant stretch of time in oscar's offense isn't a pretty picture IMO.
And IMHO you are undervaluing Nino's impact, just look at his per 100 stats. His points per 100 in Big 12 play is solid. He's 3rd behind JO and Gip in Oboarding. He's our 4th best big (counting Shane) in Dboarding. He's 2nd to Shane among bigs in steals. Those per 100 stats don't lie, and Nino has played nearly 1/3 of the Big 12 possessions, which is significant enough to give solid stats (I don't really factor DJamer or Diaz in the per 100 strongly b/c neither has played 1/4 of the possessions).

I don't think JO or Gip should be asked to do what Shane does. A good coach should be able to adapt the offense to the players on the court, and the players on the court should be the ones with the most talent. It wouldn't kill us to run a variant of our current offense when we have to go big, which we will have to at some point this season, probably a few time out of necessity even though oscar won't want to. I think it's asinine to not use a potentially more talented lineup during 10 minutes of the ballgame, because oscar won't (for whatever reason) make any tweaks to the offense.
-
I imagine oscar would not agree with you that its a more talented line up.

You seriously don't think that oscar would rank JO above Nino in the talent department?

I think the issue/thought is when jo/gip are in you wouldn’t have them do what shane is doing and saying “hey, they can’t do what shane can do” while “correct” is not using their abilities it’s dismissing them. So, like, you CAN have them in at the same time but you’d have to figure out an offense that doesn’t have JO and Gip running around screens. You’d, like, have to adjust if you wanted to use them correctly. I suppose you can’t really argue with oscar’s “success” in not using JO how god intended especially since JO won’t be here for much longer (and gip will) and Shane and Nino have been good.
I don’t know how to use JO any differently than what Frank did, seemed perfect on both sides of the ball for what Frank wanted, imo. Which is, like, probably why Frank recruited him and oscar wouldn’t have.

I agree with all that.

Just would like to see the JO from the end of last season, altering/blocking opponent shots and DOB. MIR alluded to his role being changed by oscar in his system many weeks ago. Just miss the flashes of dominance displayed a year ago.

I don't think his role is changed, I just don't think it fits his strengths as well. That being said I've noticed that we are letting him screen and roll a lot more than he did in the non-con, he gets to face up. I got real tired of watching him with his back to the basket throwing up a crappy hook shot.

For starters, we're 16-4 and the offense has looked damn good.
If this team was polled, I imagine every player not named JO would say their offensive output has increased under this offense. I'll let the stat guys decide whether the stats support this. I've got to believe it does.
Now, comparing JO to last year.. He was about the same player under Frank. 12-13: 15mpg, 4.9ppg, 4.6rpg, 53%FG, 30%FT. 11-12: 20mpg, 7.6ppg, 5.8rpg, 54%FG, 55%FT.
Now, what's really crazy is that JO and his 4.9rpg ranks squarely behind Rod, Angel, Will, and Shane. He's also behind Gip and Nino. Basically, he's dwindling down there with Irving.
JO wants more minutes? Do your job. get some boards. block some shots. stop fouling people. and shoot better than 30% from the FT.

Speaking of stats, you do know that JO is getting more rebounds and blocks per 100 possessions than anyone else, right? Far more during Big 12 play. I mean, jfc.
Also shooting 50% on free throws since NYE.

Actually, no, I didn't read FAN's top100 analyis until after I posted. I was just relying on oscar's postgame that I listened to on the drive home from the game.
Notwithstanding, I still think JO's problems are primarily a product of his own output, as opposed to oscar's system.

I think the stats are telling us that, while JO is not playing as good as the best JO, he is still our best option at center.
In conference games:
ORating eFG% OR% DR% OR/100 DR/100 BLK/100 TO/100 Fouls/100
Gip 94.4 53.1 9.7 16.3 4.9 8.1 1.1 6.5 11.4
JO 111.4 59.2 10.2 26.9 5.2 13.4 5.7 2.1 11.4
I understand the frustration with JO not dominating like he did for a short stretch in the last half of conference play last year, but the stats seem to show that he is playing better than he ever has.

It's pretty simple. JOs minutes are down. The last several pages of this thread have discussed why, some suggesting it's oscar's system.
I'm not arguing anything. Just stating an opinion. I don't think JO is on the bench is because of system.
Is JO better than Gip? Sure. I don't really care. They're both pretty piss poor. As somebody said in the NBAF thread, it's kinda like determining who sells the best crap sandwich. Our bigs are pretty much garbage IMO. Maybe I'm being too harsh.

If the best crap sandwich can possibly help you win ball games with increased playing time, then I think it's probably worth discussing.

Its simple Belvis, Gip is better with his back to the basket which is advantageous to any 4 out 1 in offense. This isn't anyones fault, its a simple skillset match. JO was better in the pinch post because he was able to face up, just like I mentioned that he's been better offensively lately because the coaches have him rolling off of high screens. Last year Gip found himself with less minutes because when we went to the pinch post he was ineffective because he couldn't do anything catching the ball on the elbow, nor was he as effective with the lobs that the pinch post created. Again this was nobodies fault, it was a skillset mismatch.
If you want to reduce this to the very simple argument of JO not putting forth effort, you can do that I guess. I'd point to the fact that JO started last game as evidence that oscar disagrees with you.
There is no bad guy here, with the ISU game being the obvious exception all the bigs seem to be good with their roles and performing very well as a group.
-
JO's biggest problem, other than clown sized feet...is his own effort and basketball IQ. I think you have to place JO squarely in the "was better with Frank" category simply because he responded to fear. He won't respond in the same way to oscar. Not a knock on oscar, just different styles. I just don't think JO is a hard worker. I'm always looking for reasons to bench Nino, but in this case I think his minutes are warranted.
Plus, the thought of JO and Gip together running the motion offense is pretty disgusting.

You rough ridin' people are ignoring the fact JO's numbers in conference play this year (other than minutes) are better than they ever have been. :facepalm:

Yeah, the last ten games of last year have really given people unreasonable expectations for what JO should be doing. I guess since he isn't doing that then he sucks :dunno:
-
It just sucks that we have a lob throwing Picasso and DOBing DaVinci on the roster and we hardly ever get to enjoy the combo. I can recall only one attempted ART2JO oop attempt this season and it failed.

People need reasons to bitch I guess, Cleveland's post was the dumbest thing I've read in a long time. I think saying someone "just doesn't work hard" is a crutch for someone who has no idea how to explain what they are looking at.
-
Gipson played twice as much as JO today and had less points, one more rebound, and got beaten like a rented mule on defense all afternoon. Nino played more than JO and did nothing. Literally nothing. He had one rebound and a steal. We won today in spite of oscar grossly mismanaging the roster, most noticeably the frontcourt.

why are people acting like it's a mystifying point deuce is making? just because he's a known weber sceptic? jhr was a decent offensive player and a game changer on defense last year, and he's only played about a third of kstate's minutes this season. it's odd.

I think this is probably the best explanation currently available, at least it made sense to me as to the current JO situation.

Yeah, I really thought I would be in the majority on this one...apparently not.

why are people acting like it's a mystifying point deuce is making? just because he's a known weber sceptic? jhr was a decent offensive player and a game changer on defense last year, and he's only played about a third of kstate's minutes this season. it's odd.

No one has been a more vocal critic of oscar's big rotation and minute distribution than me, but the timing of the initial post was in response to the UT game which was silly. Today the big minutes were completely mangled. I still dont think he "doesn't know how to use JO." As quoted I have noticed that oscar is putting JO in more face up situations. I just think oscar sometimes has no feel for what's happening and he gets lost because he isn't doing a good job of shortening the bench.

The post was not about JO's playing time in the UT game, it was just another example of when JO was playing well and didn't get any minutes. I understand there are reasons for that, but I don't really agree with them. Again, this was not about the Texas game, I just happened to post it then because it was fresh in my mind. It's been a problem all season. To go where we all want to go, then oscar needs to figure out how to get JO more involved.
