The Best and Most Feared Defender in the Nation. JoJo Tugler Highlights

Watch with the context that this was only a soph!. Generational, Once in a lifetime type player!

a little longer than normal, but no one makes defensive highlights, so I left a lot in for the draft people, since i know alot of them used his freshmen one

The rest of the B12 was really hoping he’d enter the NBA draft after last season. :laughing:

One of the things I loved about last season was when Mylik and JoJo were on the floor at the same time - those dudes just wrecked sh!t on defense and on the boards.

I have to admit, this is the one i was lokking forward to the most. He makes the most plays i want to rewind and say “did he just do that” I love starting with the Duke game. What a testament to his defensive prowess.
Of course his atheleticism shows throughout. His wingspan combined with his speed and leaping ability gives him a chance on every play. His recovery jump is so fast. But his his high basketball IQ comes out in these clips too

Glad you did these again this year.
Hopefully Tug is able to stay out of foul trouble in big games this year and continues to improve that little hook in the lane

If JoJo doesn’t have catastrophic foul trouble this year, he’s gotta be a lock for national DPOY. I also think he’s going to be better offensively. His touch around the rim got MUCH better as the year went on last year.

Hey did you guys know JoJo has a 7’ 6" wingspan? If you didn’t the announcers will tell you constantly.

Barefoot or in shoes?

NO GET OUT

His block in the last minute of The Duke game enabled us to win.

How good of offensive numbers would he have to put up to garner AA consideration?

To go with his defensive numbers provided they stay the same. 14-15 ppg I think would do it.

i think not even that much… 11 or 12pts per will do

tugler will come in as the unaimous preseason defensive player of the year… on a preseason top 2 team…
jamal got it at 13 per game … and jojo will be more preseason touted that jamal was his last year

I’d be shocked (and thrilled) if JoJo averages 10 per game. He won’t have J’Wan taking all the low post points, but there will be Cenac and most likely better all around shooting than last year, so not as many put back opportunities. If JoJo goes from 5.5 to 10+, that would be incredible.

Yeah… if he can averaged 10+ ppg in a Kelvin Sampson offense, in a 30 second shot clock & in a 40 minute game, that will help his game translate into the NBA pretty well. If Kenneth Faried had an NBA career, so can Jojo.

And if he develops a jumper he should have a nice NBA career.

He really needs to make the same kind of improvement at the FT line that Francis did last year, too. If he could get that percentage up closer to 70%, that would be worth a couple of buckets per game, assuming he can stay out of foul trouble himself.

Plus a 3 pointer per game…
