What's the problem with Jerebko?

I'm secretly hoping JJ has a break out season under SVG. He will know what is expected of him, and will probably be instructed not to try and do too much with the ball. I could see JJ being great in the Spurs system. Why not the Pistons new SVG system?

Yep, and with the way the Spurs won a chip' this year, I can see SVG implementing some part of their system to our team since he supposedly loves their organization.

Could be a mini-breakout thing for JJ. Which is something we should all celebrate haha.

SVG and Pop aren't mirror images, but how they had their teams play isn't that dissimilar. Lots of ball movement, utilizing pick and rolls and pick and pops depending on personnel. Team systems- that is the key word. We aren't going to watch Smith dribble the ball on the wing for 15 seconds, shrug his shoulders and take a shot with his eyes closed anymore. Those days are done, and it brings a smile to my face thinking about it.

I agree with this. Hopefully add Jennings to the same club Smith is in with the whole not dribbling around for 15+seconds and we will actually see some ball movement.

I'm hoping for a breakout from JJ too. He has enough of an IQ to do good things, and as I said before, he cares and I see him as someone who wants to be a winner. I'm not saying he'll be an all star, but he could definitely become a vital piece to this new system that (I hope) the coaching team is instilling.

Jerebko seems like a good person... great attitude. Unfortunately, he has one of the slowest releases on a shot in the NBA. It's more of a set shot and has more potential of being blocked. He will pull the ball down and drive instead of launching a shot that 80% of the 3pt. shooters would deem to be completely uncontested. He is what I like to refer to as a one-way player. Sometimes I think he'd just rather sit undr the defensive net so he could hurry up and get the ball back on offense. He has little weight in the trunk and cannot hold his position defensively wit his stature and base. He has the willingness to try, but he is not really a decent defender. If Van Gundy can find a way for him to quicken his release and add bulk to his base, he could be a guy who'd see more minutes and have more flattering reviews.
