Is Jefferson underappreciated?

And even with the expanded list, no Niang, who is a better version of what JJ does, at least offensively
That was the question. Don’t get upset at someone because you misread the question. Just own it
Yes, he's a problem for opponents when he plays in control
JJ doesn't take over games, doesn't hit clutch shots consistently, and his "greatness" disappears for long periods. Like I said this team is talented enough that if he was that good we would only have about 3 losses and wouldn't need Milan to get hot from 3 so much. We could lose Jefferson more than we could Milan imo
Who cares? 1, 2, 3, or 4 years. If he was as good as some here thought we'd be even better.
Defensively over the course of the whole game, I don’t think so. His defense, in this system, is very underrated.
Also, let’s just not lose either.
Milan would be who I would pick to score 40 for us some game. But 2 triple doubles seems like JJ can take over games. Just he doesn't force his shot most of the time.
I think the greater a player is the more a bad game stands out and draws (probably unfair) criticism. J Jeff is so good that when he isn't as good, we notice it. I'm not sure how bad the criticism was, but there WERE games when he wasn't great. Was he bad? No. But when someone is great even a little bit worse seems bad.
It's like the whole team. This team is really, really good. When they play 'bad', it just looks so much worse because of how good they usually are.
If the criticism isn't outrageous, it's kind of a compliment.

I agree. I think he's a good defender. He just can't consistently take over games offensively. That's not a knock on him necessarily,but why I don't think he elite.
They played for 2 years. And then another year. And then one more year.
I mean is is also leading the team in assist rate. And top 150 in the country.
If the ‘96 Bulls were all at Iowa State in their prime, they would have won the national championship.
Yeah well hopefully he can lead this team to the final four then. If he that good and also has guys like Milan and a senior PG like Lipsey this team should make it there easy.
Probably. Im sure most of them were 1st team all Americans. We will see how far this team goes. Either way it's a different game.
I don't really understand why you feel you need to make this point after his back-to-back double-doubles, leading the team into the semifinals. And just chosen 1st team all-conference. And will certainly be on some all-American teams.
Strange hill to die on.
I think Dybantsa is playing himself into the #1 pick but Peterson still could be
