Butler Game - Player of the Game

No doubt Jakarr.  Scored in an abundant variety of ways and used his left hand often and to great affect.  Plus 8 boards, two steals and a block.  On the downside had a ridiculous 5 turnovers but I know that turnovers are not permitted to be taken into consideration on JJ in evaluating player performance.

I really liked how Branch got in the lane and made things happen. He is a very talented player, and I think tonight reminded us that he can play at this level. He can shoot better than he has been shooting, and he can defend. He entered the game and instantly caused a turnover.

Good for you Jamal, you were a work of art tonight.

And he needs to do that even more.  Same for Rysheed.  When those two penetrate good things will happen more than not.
