The Sports Guy on DJ

[Pflugerville Ag]

Ouch, but can't really argue with him (about DJ). His comments about Love are a little too much.

Speaking of the draft, did anyone else find it interesting that Texas A&M's DeAndre Jordan was ranked 10-15 spots ahead of Love on every draft board for most of this season, but when they crossed on Saturday night Love dominated on both ends down the stretch while Jordan looked like the illegitimate son of Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic? You're telling me that Love isn't one of the best 10 prospects in this draft? Really? What else needs to happen?

here is another not too flattering take on dj from dallasnews.com....


Forget about whether freshman DeAndre Jordan will come back. Should he come back after averaging just 7.9 points per game and getting benched midseason?
Jordan is a projected NBA lottery pick on size alone. Watching the postgame scene at Honda Center made you wonder how many friends he has in the locker room.
When Jordan wouldn't leave the bench area and join the team in a midcourt huddle, Bryan Davis jerked Jordan by the jersey and the two nearly got into fisticuffs.

I am less worried about where Jordan gets drafted than about what happens if he decides to come back next year. From all reports, it sounds like he has a me-first attitude and has been playing this year as if it didn't mean much since he thought he would be a lottery pick. With his stock slipping some in the last few days and weeks, I hope he doesn't decide to bring his attitude back for another year and prevent us from getting a player in who really wants to be here as opposed to dreaming about riding the pine in the NBA.

Don't get me wrong...if DJ got a better attitude and wanted to come back with new fire and a desire to learn from his coaches and get better, I would love to have him back. But watching him against UCLA, it was clear he hadn't improved much from early in the season and if the SAEN article is true, it sounds like he and Turgeon are like oil and water.
