Literally nothing said is remotely inaccurate. Jett has a ton of talent and potential. But, he isn’t playing winning basketball, which is why the team was 4-0 without him. He does not put in any effort on defense. That directly impacts the entire team defense. He also doesn’t put in even a bit of effort on rebounds. Those are really important things on the college level. On offense, while he has all of the ability in the world, when he has the ball, he spends half of the shot clock just dribbling and isolating and ultimately ends up taking terrible shots. Even worse, when he doesn’t have the ball, he literally just stands there waiting for the ball. Having all of your players, especially those off ball, active in the offense, setting screens, rotating through their motions, etc stressed the defense and allows for the creation of much better scoring opportunities for the entire team. Bottom line, when Jett is in the game, we are a worse team on both ends of the floor. Moreover, guys like Bufkin and Dug are significantly worse when he is playing. 

Jett absolutely is a prime reason for why Michigan was losing those must-win games at the end of the season.  He was playing losing basketball.

On offense, he would just jack up terrible shots (which stopped falling like they had earlier in the season) and ball-movement would just stop as soon as the ball got into his hands (leaving the other four players to just stand around).

On defense, he was still just loafing. He could not stop dribble penetration and would constantly lose his man on back door cuts for easy baskets. He showed zero toughness in boxing out his man and rebounding. The complete lack of effort was the most annoying aspect of him being on the court.

I personally hope he leaves for the NBA. He's a cancer that needs to be rooted out before his lack of effort and toughness metastasizes to the rest of the team.

I have no idea what you are trying to say or how being critical of individual players relates to bullying or selling stock in descendants of enslaved people. This is a sports blog. What makes it great is the analysis of . . . Sports. There is nothing wrong with the authors giving honest criticism of the players on the team. Nobody said these are bad individuals, called their morality into question or called for them to be bullied. 

Other than needing another guard, why do we want Llwellyn back? In 8 starts he shot 31% FG and 18% from deep. Hard to expect a super senior coming off a season ending injury to suddenly dramatically improve his game. A true freshmen can come in and play equally as good as Llwellyn did.

While I don't necessarily blame Juwan for whatever it is with Jett that is leading to what appears to be real issues with fundamentals and effort, I also don't think that it's fair to say that just because Juwan was not Jett's coach throughout his HS years (and was off coaching the Heat and Michigan), that Juwan was not involved in developing his son's game.  Juwan was almost certainly home with Jett for much of the offseason and it is inconceivable that Juwan, a college and NBA star bball player, didn't have any involvement with his son's bball development.  Not saying that Juwan was putting Jett through drills and training, but as his father - again, and a former legitimate basketball star - Juwan certainly had the ability to "coach" Jett on things like defensive and rebounding effort, not being a ball stopper, etc.

Completely agree by the end of the year he was a slightly better Joey Baker. A guy that talented shouldn't be averaging four 2 point attempts a game. Unfortunately I'm never gonna expect a guaranteed first round pick to come back, so his development will be in the NBA when it happens.

Re: Jett, I actually think they're being too reserved.  He's playing like, why did he even show up?

I was taught to box out in seventh grade JV in white suburbia.  That's not hyperbole; that's what happened.  It doesn't even require much effort or skill, just whip your arms out and get in the way!  For anything remotely requiring unselfish effort he's not even playing at the middle school white boy cast-off level.  That is the very definition of losing basketball.  He's not unfocused; he has a serious attitude problem.  It's baffling that the NBA apparently thinks they can fix that, not to mention frustrating, because between the draft projections and Juwan still playing him, he's got every reason to believe he doesn't need to change.  I hope he leaves for the NBA so we don't have to watch him stand around while the team loses.

Between his swollen entitlement and HD's heel antics and most of the team not playing defense, this is the least likeable Michigan team I can remember.  I can accept a down year due to injury or rebuilding, but losing because the most talented players on the team don't enough give a shit and have to be shamed into trying makes these jokers the bad guys.  Michigan gets a lot of blind hate because we're Michigan, but bleach the jerseys and these guys are the kind of team you naturally root against.
