Read the end of the article. TJ has to get stronger and quicker in order to play acceptable defense. It is obvious he can score and run an offense but his defensive skills will ultimately determine his playing time. Still, better to have him on our team that not have him. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

I would agree with this. EE showed that he is much stronger than TJ in last night's head-to-head match-up. But TJ also showed some very quick hands with a couple steals. (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, July 15, 11:52:10am
Econ69 I hear you, but that comment pretty much applies to almost all freshman. This kid is special, and his performance this summer proves that. I have no doubt he will see plenty of minutes next season for the Dukes. I am very excited that he will be playing for us. (NT) -- CLK, Thursday, July 15, 12:23:25pm
We know there is an ocean of improvement ahead for TJ - for any incoming freshman - but I suspect he will put in the work necessary. Meanwhile, his offensive skills and his head for the game will undoubtedly put him in the mix for PT, where I believe he will help contribute to DU's success this year. While all college kids are bigger, stronger and faster than incoming frosh (and certainly Eric Evans is a very talented ballplayer), not every kid he matches up against this year will be an all-American. There will be nights when we remind ourselves he's just a kid, and nights when he kicks butt. (NT) -- El Duque, Thursday, July 15, 12:28:29pm
I apologize for my unbridled enthusiasm (Stevie hits self on forehead with mortarboard). (NT) -- Stevie, Thursday, July 15, 12:47:17pm

  - I should have known better. Again, I apologize. (NT) -- Stevie, Thursday, July 15, 04:26:00pm
