In response to Silver Maple

I would be surprised if Jarrod didn't get an extended look to take up the 15-25 mpg Max had last year. Donahue goes with experience and he trusted Jarrod in the ILT and Jarrod played well. I expect Jarrod to be motivated and work on his shot and his body and come back ready to claim the minutes that are his for the taking.

In order to do that he will have to continue to improve his mental toughness and consistency. He can't make 1 great play followed by a foul and a turnover. Coaches won't trust that. Donahue wants a Jarrod that can switch on ball screens (Ah.Max), defend tough without fouling (see AJ/Max/Antonio) get offensive rebounds and make the occasional 3 (and FT). Jarrod has all of that in his game, just not consistently enough to stay on the floor for long stretches and at the end of games when it matters. If he comes in ready to do all that every night, he will be a major upgrade because of his baseline skill level.
