ND Game - Player of the Game

Georgetown game probably didn't deserve a poll anyway.... they all stunk.     But getting back to the POTG polling;

I'm going with Jakarr.  I think he tired a little toward the end because he was giving max effort all game.   But in the first half he carried the team. 
When his jump shot is falling, and he's aggressive; he can be that 2nd scoring option we need. 

Plus he hit foul shots!!    An amazing concept.

No Dom?

*Personally I wouldnt put opposing players.  Its STJ site.  Win or Lose who was our best player.  Just my 2 cents.

The poll only lets you have 5 options.. I was debating whether to add Dom or Branch.   Couldn't tell if people might think they played well enough to deserve the game ball.    You could make an argument for either I guess.

And, yea, I think I agree with you on the STJ players only policy.  Let me see if I can edit the poll.

Edit:  It did let me add a 6th option.   So, there's that. 

really tough game to pick. Think id go with Jakarr but amir could be just as deserving. Dlo was huge down the stretch. Two great dimes, a big 3, and a huge block.

Phil Greene. He kept us in the game early.

DLo won us this game. The huge three late and that block saved this one for us.

I picked Garrett. The D he played on their bigs throughout the game was tremendous. Pointer played great as well, but he has got to stop picking up pointless fouls. If the point guard is driving, yes, get a body on him, but if we're not in a press don't foul him 40 ft from the hoop.

To me it's hands down DLo.  He led us in Rebounds, Assists & Blocks.  When we needed a huge basket nailed the deep 3 to put us up 1.  And he absolutely STUFFED the big guy from ND down the stretch to prevent a layup!!

He played beautifully. Didn't force one shot.

Im going with Greene.  Made some nice jumpers tonight.  He is a lot more comfortable when he doesn't have to handle the ball for 40 mins.

I go with Jakarr, based on the numbers, but I think Amir may have been the difference tonight.

Tonight was a team win not an individual.  They worked hard on defense and shut down the ND 3PT shooting.

D'Angelo for his late 3, key block on someone way taller than him, and his UNSELFISH play (finally).

Garett with Pointer a close second. Garett played great defense on their bigs and picked up the scoring slack. Pointer's jumper is coming on, and he is looking a lot smoother. If these two guys continue to develop we could be a contenda.

D'lo. He is a team player. I don't care what anyone says on here about his attitude. He cares about winning, he cares about his teammates and he is a true Johnny. That last block was pure effort and he showed surprising hops. We probably lose that game without his block there. He wasn't scoring and realized he needed to do other things to help the team. How about that no-look pass to energize the team?

It's nice we are debating 5-6 guys as player of the game and that is why we won. Major difference as opposed to Dee scoring 25 and no one else over 10. Balanced scoring, rebounding, and good shot selection.

Wow, ceiling is pretty low for Greene huh? He only did his spinning top routine once and he is much more comfortable anywhere besides the point, but kid shot 6-17 including some pretty bad shots that even woke up Bobby Knight from his Joe Lapchick daydream.

Jakarr is coming along nicely.....Sky's the limit with his game.

Branch for icing the game with his two foul shots.

n Deliliah was the p of the g for his scoring prowess and for setting a good tone from the line right from the get go.
