No Jok on Pre-Season Team....Was He Robbed?

Melo Trimble 2nd team, but Jok can't make the 3rd team? If Jok progresses like he has each year, he'll be 1st team on every list at the end of the year.
 
When I first read the title, I thought it was that he missed first team all B1G, which I would agree would be missing the boat.

There are a lot of talented players in the country and I don't have a problem with Jok not making the top 3. If they had a preseason honorable mention I'd be irked if he didn't make that.

Hope he proves me wrong this year and he earns top 3 team status.
 
It seems that these ratings tend to fall about 12 months behind reality. For instance, Trimble probably got credit for the year before last. If he only had last year for reference, I doubt he gets it.

Trimble did pretty good as a true freshman. The Maryland coaching staff must of done a great job with him between his freshman and sophomore years. Maryland does a great job recruiting, but they seem to underachieve when it requires actual coaching.
 
Robbed? Come on. Peter's probably not one of the top 15 players in the country. He could be this year, but he hasn't proven it yet.
 
Trimble is one of the more overrated players in the country, in my opinion. He is a good pg, but he is wildly inconsistent with his jumper. And I'm not sure how well he plays defense and good defensive guards can shut him down. As I recall, he didn't do jack against us, at MD.
 
He has to prove he can create his own scoring and handle the ball. All Americans are usually NBA material. Not there yet. He does at times have nerves of steel which could serve him well.
 
If chasing the NBA dream isn't enough.......by all means let this be added motivation to spend extra time working on his game.

This. Jok benefited greatly from Uthoff last season. This season, defenses will drape themselves all over him. time will tell if he can still get his shot off.
He'll have to prove himself.
