Hopefully he will be more than just a shooter as Iowa needs athletes. Michigan showed today what athletism is all about. Iowa desperately needs a big bruiser under the basket.
Jeezy Peets dropped 20 on Mason City Wednesday.
Has anyone seen Jok play live this year? His mix tapes are 99% of him shooting three point shots. Is the guy quick? Can he put the ball on the floor and get to the hoop at will? Is he basically a tall perimter shooter at the Big 10 level who can't create for himself in the half court?
I would love to see him match up against Jeremy Morgan or Deondre Alexander for Iowa City West. I would be interested in seeing him play the best defensive HS team in the state who is Iowa City West hands down.
The thread you just posted in has some answers for you...

His release is going to have to quicken significantly. That works in HS but it could be a problem in college. We will see what happens. Changing your shot can mess things up. Look at Ogelsby, his new form & attempt to release the ball quicker, has ruined his shot.
Maybe he's doing it out of fear of being blocked, but JO's habit of falling away on his shots is what's causing him to come up short most of the time. I can't explain those shots that miss the basket entirely. Hard to believe that a guy who's reputation is built on his ability to shoot the ball can miss so badly at times, but I hope whatever it is, he gets it corrected.
Soooo... you guys didn't watch the NW game? 4 for 9 from 3-land ain't too shabby. Maybe he's found his stroke again? I really hope so at least!
