I’m totally OK with giving this kid a shot if we can’t find anyone else. All we need is for him and Jax to give us a combined 10 points/10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. Anything else is icing on the cake.
Dude is basically a bowling ball out there - kind of nice to have a guy who just's willing to throw his body around both on offense and defense.
Hayes tonight vs Portland-9/7 Jemison tonight vs Portland 6/4 Combined 15/11. That’s all we need. We all romanticize (me included) on the Javale/Howard combo in 2020. Dwight averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds, and Javale 6 points and 6 rebounds, for a combined 13/13. We need to lean heavily into Hayes and Jemison playing as a tag team tandem and combining as one starting big.
JJ, I hope you’re reading this. anyone with eyes can see that Jemison is much better than Len. Jemison is clearly stronger, quicker to his feet, has better basketball instincts, and positioning. I agree that it should be him and Hayes full time if we want to get serious about winning, and fielding the best team with what we have. Please, no more Len unless it’s garbage time.
Good outing that should earn him a better look. As long as he avoids pushing opponents by "accident" on the floor.
He was great. He's a mini-Vando with the way he plays. He jumps to all balls, deflects everything and is constantly doing things. Any rebound by the opposition is more tough. He's not very creative with the ball but we don't need him too. This type of energy guy is a great fit to this team, or any actually. Not sure how needed he is in the playoffs, but could be a nice Vando insurance. Still favor Goodwin though I like JJ type of role players. DFS, Goodwin, Jemison. Hard-nosed defenders, hustlers, physical. That makes a ton of difference. Prefer that to guys like Lonnie Walker or wtv. I don't want scorers from role players, that's the stars job
I don't expect a win tonight (though I'd wish for it) BUT here's to Jemison putting bruises on Jokic at least.
This will be interesting with JJ to see if HE will adjust to the Denver matchup with this new roster and will do the logical thing and give Jem some burn against him early. Let’s see what it looks like. Can you imagine if he were to have 4 or 5 good looking moments against him and solid enough minutes he could win a spot on the roster. Let’s see what Trey’s made of.
I would like to see Jemison muscle his way and throw his weight around. Make Denver FEEL his presence. It would be funny if he agitates Jokic and the latter's brothers in the stands.
