LaQuinton Ross Leaves Ohio State For NBA Draft

Mar 24, 2014 | Jeff Goodman/ESPN

LaQuinton Ross averaged 15.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as a junior.

Might look at him as G's possible replacement. Shot pretty good from 3. Can score. 7'1 wingspan! late 2nd round projection. Jazz just have their own 2nd rounder at the moment but after last year who knows what picks they will end up with on draft day.

Sophomore forward JaKarr Sampson, the second-leading scorer on St. John's, has decided to forgo the remainder of his collegiate eligibility and enter the NBA draft. Red Storm coach Steve Lavin said Monday that the 6-foot-9 Sampson has not hired an agent but is in the process. The early entry deadline is April 27.

[QUOTE]One continual issue for the Jazz: making uncontested shots. The Jazz were awful while not being guarded tonight, shooting a remarkable 29.5% without a defender within 4 feet. This killed them against the pack-the-paint Pistons. It

The Jazz defense has been on a steady decline for the month of March and this was the nadir. The Pistons came in 27th offensively over the last 10 games, they were 27th in FG%, they had been shooting 31% from the three point line and tonight they shot 55%, 53% from three scored 114 points. Crazy

Jazz were +1 with Kanter and Favors on the floor together tonight in 19 minutes and -21 the rest of the game. The Jazz shot 15-for-34 (and 5-for-15 from 3-point range) with Kanter and Favors on the floor tonight.

Seeing potential there finally but it was against two other young bigs.

We talked all night on the broadcast about how bad the Pistons are with both bigs on the floor and how good they are with one of the two on the floor. Tonight this proved true as well. In the 17 minutes Drummond and Monroe were together, the Pistons were -5. In the other 31 minutes they were +25.

Sounds like the same issues as the Jazz. Might just be the game has changed and it's hard to play two bigs together anymore.

The Jazz had no fast-break points until the 4:20 mark of the third quarter.

[QUOTE]Gordon Hayward was the bright spot with 32 points and six assists tonight.
The Jazz were 13-for-44 (29.5%) on uncontested shots tonight. The Pistons were 22-for-42 (52.3%) on uncontested looks. That is a minimum of 18 points in a 20-point game.

The biggest problem comes on the offensive side. Corbin said the young player is learning the importance of timing and how essential it is for him to get proper position on pick-and-rolls, in the post, and during other plays the Jazz run.

This is a forgiving, appreciative sports market, but Utahns never should have to endure another season like this one.

Wednesday, on John Stockton’s 52nd birthday, rookie point guard Trey Burke reflected back on some of the lessons he learned spending time with the Jazz legend this summer.

"He taught me a lot," Burke said. "I think the main thing is just staying the course. He told me his rookie year he didn’t have the type of year he wanted, or he wasn’t playing as much as he maybe thought he could have. I always think about that. He told me you’re going to face adversity. You just have to learn how to get through it and continue to learn from your mistakes."

He should have been starting and Rickey should have been traded when his value was high. Instead they lost him for nothing in the expansion draft.

Let's hope you will visit John again this summer. You need it.
