Wondering if JTT can turn himself into a 3 and D wing in the NBA?

Have to admit, someone worked hard with him on his release this summer. His shooting form was awful last year and looks almost 180 degrees different this year. Would love to see him develop into that type of wing in the NBA.

$100 for whoever said the 2 leading scorers for the Bears tonight would be FLO and JTT, both with career highs at 16 points each.

And neither of whom have missed a shot.

Fairly certain Thamba has never led the team in scoring.

Currently Thamba and JTT are the leading the team with 16 each.

Combined 14/14 from the floor and JTT is 2/2 from the FT line and 2/2 from three.

LOVEDAY with a 3!!!!!!!


Man I hope this kid really keeps working as hard as he does. He's the kind of guy who could develop into a late bloomer and potential contributor as a wing one day.

Bonner, Turner, and Loveday getting more than garbage time minutes makes me so happy.

Wasnt he the mr basketball for his state. I remember being surprised when we got him. I'm really high on him. Hoping Turner can become a key contributor too

Maybe. My memory on that is very vague.

I agree: nice to see both Loveday & Turner getting more minutes & doing something with that opportunity. Hopefully we will have more opportunities to see them play this season & not only in garbage time.

I was glad to see Bonner getting serious minutes, even in the first half.

Nah he wasn't, I ended up looking it up on the Baylor app.
Bonner made a surprise appearance in the Oregon game too. Maybe this means that Drew feels like he's starting to understand our system more.

Loveday probably takes Flo's spot when he leaves and Sochan takes KB's. Idk how Turner will see consistent minutes but I'm hopping he does and that he stays.
