JD is our secret weapon this year. All the other HL message board talk about the return of Vaughn, but they all seem to be overlooking the importance of JD to our lineup. Last year JD carried the Raiders for a good 10 game stretch even though he was playing on a bad hip. If he is truly heathy and can stay that way, he is a dominant player in this league. I cannot wait for the start of the season.

I sit right behind our opponent's bench at the Nutter Center. I got to see how opposing teams set their game plans to stop JD. I got to hear opposing coaches berate their teams during timeouts for not being able to stop him. There was a large spell of games where JD was all we had offensively. Todd was still playing poorly and JD was averaging double digit points and 3 times as many assists as any other Raider. With him in our lineup, our offense actually had a flow. When he went down, our offense looked like a bad COY youth team. The guy dominated games.

the availability of jdg as our point guard is the reason i believe that pg is a strength for the raiders, not a weakness. jd will be a solid offensive threat as well as getting the rest of the team involved in the offense. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!

GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!! I agree 100% with you Keith. When Vaughn went down last year JDG became our go-to-guy PLUS he was are best defensive guard. By pairing JDG and Vaughn up in the same back court we now have two lock down defenders who both can score in double digits. The thing about JDG is that he seldom hurts his team with simple mistakes or lazy passes. He is just so fundamentally sounds. Having JDG back AND HEALTHY would be huge for this team.
