With both Mag and Caleb being worked back into the rotation, I'm not sure how Pike can find him game experience at this point in the season except for maybe an OOC game.
If he defends and can shoot there are plenty of minutes for him if guys in the current rotation won’t defendWith both Mag and Caleb being worked back into the rotation, I'm not sure how Pike can find him game experience at this point in the season except for maybe an OOC game.
YesSo the fact that this season doesn't count towards eligibility makes him stepping right in an option? Is that what is going on here?

Just to push back a little, but in the pro's, a guy gets traded midseason, that guy steps right in.Technically, correct. But the kid has never practiced with the team, and there's just no way for him to quickly learn defensive rotations, etc. to enable him to "step right in" right away.
To begin with, everybody has said the "plan" is for him to just practice with the team like Palmquist did last year, but not play in games.
But, even if they alter that plan, I cannot imagine he would have enough knowledge of Pike's system until after at least a couple of weeks of practice. So, IF they're inclined to play him, I wouldn't think we'd see him in games until some time in February.

I know this is a different level, but I think there is some level of "it's just basketball" as well.
I think if he's physically ready to play, he'll be able to learn enough to get some pt.

Obviously it depends on the player, but there have been High School kids who have jumped to the NBA and played very well.But we're talking about a kid who was in HIGH SCHOOL two weeks ago. It's apples and oranges going from high school defense to playing defense under a defensive coach like Pike, and in the Big Ten no less.
Typical freshmen have 5 months of summer/fall practice (June-October) before then being able to play in 8 or 10 out of conference games, and even then MOST of them still struggle to find their sea legs. It's the rare freshman who can come right in and make an impact early on.
JJ won't have that 5 months, or those 8 or 10 OOC games, to get acclimated. Believing that he can step right in and make much impact -- even if he practices for a few weeks -- is just a fantasy, if I'm being totally honest.
What did you tweet can’t see it?
Thanks; What is your gut do you think he plays at some point the kid from OSU looked pretty good last nightIt looks like Jaden deleted it. It was a video of him by himself at the APC
Until proven otherwise Palmquist = SoufHe should take Palmquest's playing time. I heard so much about what a good shooter he is. Has not looked that way yet.
