 Not. What a bust. He's 6'10", he's long, can hit a jump shot,Block shots, he's athletic can run and jump, and AVG 20 PPG and 10 Rpg his senior year. In two words why will he never make it in the NBA???

 TOO Skinny.

Give the kid a chance.  He's in his 2nd year.  Lot of skinny players in the league.

The new CBA has a rule that a player who is traded then waived by his new team can't be signed by the team that traded him away until a year after the trade or if the waived player's contract would have expired.

 The Point is the most underrated physical tool of a big man Is strength. That's why Sully is gonna be good, fast. You cannot move his 280 pound Butt off the block, or the boards.

remember Celtics Blog in the beginning of last year, yes now we have JuJuan a guy that'll contribute as KG mentors him and he will be Rondos new running mate lol

Hey some of us are optimists. Although I think Danny trading Brooks for Johnson is up there when picking Giddens over Deandre Jordan...or Omer Asik...or Mbah a Moute...or Goran Dragic. Ah hindsight :)

Also I wouldn't mind inviting JaJuan to camp next year. I think this might put a chip on his shoulder and that could make him worthwhile in the league.

I think this kid has serious potential and is still the type of prospect I'd like to have somewhere down the line. I'm sure he'll end up somewhere in the league, but if not he should be on the Red Claws.

I am going to stick by my prediction that with playing time JJJ can be a Hakim Warrick like bench player. Being traded from the Cs may have robbed him of his potential.

No reason he can't get some time and a spot elsewhere if he can play.
