[QUOTE="PlayAZ, post: 1526476, member: 625229"] I didn't "knock" Tevian, I just ask for a TJ disciple to come to his aid and defend why we should have been playing him all year so far? I don't say TJ doesn't have value, but in this game...shot after shot after shot...clanged like mostly everyone else. The difference is that other players/ DMW, Griffin, Feliz, etc have shown the propensity to do other things as well, it's called defense/hustle/etc. TJ had an awesome hustle play and block...noted as such, other times he seemingly is lost on defense alot. Possibly if he learns the nuances of everything other than shooting/scoring, he would play more and also contribute more say like DMW. BTW. DMW was your comparision not mine, that said, he is hard to replace based on what he does bring to the table, many if not almost all the rest of the team cannot do or WANT to do what he does for us. You are right DMW may or may not "sniff" the Blue Bloods of the world, guess what TJ wouldn't either...so if that is a point of contention, I am sorry it is not a very good one either. Look at the end of a day, so far, DMW has proven his worth to not only the team, the program, the school, can TJ say that as of yet? I sincerely hope that he does and he turns into the UBER shooter/slasher that we all thought he could be, until then, his playing time might very well be questioned? [/QUOTE]
