Player Outlook: Jordan Prosser

[mrcoachdude]

I stood next to him with mrcoachdude at Redbird arena 2 years ago and agree. I am around 6'5 and JP was taller than me.

Jordan was 6'5 in Jr High...

When Ben and I ran into him then.....I gave him the BU BU chat

I am loving having Jordan being a Brave!

Whether he starts fast or not...I know this....he will give BU everything he got every time out

Just helping out the cause in enemy territory.

I knew it was only a matter of time. The ball is in your court MrCoachdude.

I stood next to Prosser in an All-Star game in the Spring. He's a legit 6'8.

But aren't there some concerns about YOUR height. I spoke to someone that stood next to you and they told me "NO WAY is cpamel 5'4""......

Yeh yeh.... think we went through this before.......honest....my coaching set him back a year or so...not the 3 or 4 like some have suggested

I agree with all you had to say except the averages. If he plays 16 mpg I'd hope he averaged more then 3.6 rebounds. Once WE comes back I believe JP's number will have to be made up at the 4. WE should be able to play 20 mpg by conference play and Sam 10 which leaves 10 more.

16 mpg and 3.6 rpg works out to an average of 9.0 per 40 minutes. I don't think that's bad for a freshman. If he was rebounding more efficiently than that, he'd probably be a starter right off the bat.

I agree that JL likes to see a rookie off the bench first - a la EM last year - but JP will earn his minutes early into the season and could be starting by January. Just my opinion...

I hope im wrong, but I dont think hes going to get that many minutes this year. I would say 7-8 minutes, I think hes going to be behind Tb, WE, both for minutes, not sure about ss, sams good when you need some meat in the lane and I hope Jp can do the same with more mobility.

JP has the chance to play the 4 also, where there could be some open minutes if we decide to go a bit bigger. Besides SS and WE being healthy there are other options to get him on the floor.

I think he will be ahead of them, especially by conference season.

Prosser is the most talented post player we have, and the most polished. He will play quite a bit.

I'm not doubting you but does he have the strength to contribute effectively for long stretches of time? Also do you see him playing predominantly the 4 or 5 for this team?

He will probably be strong enough by the time the season starts, and I see him playing the 5. I just think he is way more comfortable with his back to the basket than facing it. Just my opinion.

He is physically stronger than any freshman post player we've had here since JL came on board. Physical strength won't be an issue.

Physical strength may be ok but physical endurance might be another issue.

I think JP will be a good player for BU and will contribute this year but he will be going up against older and mature players and will have his hands full much of the time.
