Justin Martin

[bleedXblue]

Guy's like a much (MUCH) better version of Jeff Robinson. Just teases you with what he COULD be one day and then makes you scratch your head the next.

Hopefully only "good Justin" shows up the rest of the way.

I don't see him ever being a consistent 10-15 ppg, 7-8 RPG contributor......

For whatever reason he shows up and/or doesnt show up...............

Dude is averaging 14 points and like 5 boards in BE play.

He has bad games every once in a while but he shows up way more often than not. I bet he's been in double figures in every BE game but 3/4

We'll see how he bounces back against Nova. We need a big game out of him and probably a lot of minutes out of him from the 4 spot.

I'm already having nightmares about what Jayvaughn Pinkston is going to do to whoever we have playing the four.

I'm more concerned about James Bell who absolutely killed us last time. We have no one who can matchup with him.

Haha, now this is actually laughable because I too have nightmares about this. Pinkston gets every board it seems like and able to finish. I'm hoping he is a perfect example of what Jalen Reynolds can be and more.

JMart has to be the one to guard Bell like he did McBuckets. He's the only one with the size and ability to stay with him when he really wants to. Just for the love of God don't leave him open from the corner. It's the only place he loves to shoot.

Even with the caveat of "(MUCH) better," I just don't see this. Martin has been one of the most consistent players on the team in Big East play. He simply had a bad game.

I've watched Pinkston for a few years now and I'm not sure I've seen many guys as skilled as he is at his size.

I think Jalen is going to be a really nice player at X and he may even turn out to be much better then Pinkston (I think he has a higher ceiling), but they are totally different types of players IMHO.

It's the discipline issue more than anything. He obviously did something stupid at a really bad time. Reminds me of something stupid Robinson might have done (foul on purpose at the end of a tie game).

Ah ok, but those are different, as one is an on-court issue and the other an off-court issue.
