Personal information
Justinian Jessup is a 2.01m, 92kg shooting guard born on May 23, 1998 in Longmont, Colorado. Jessup played all four of his collegiate years at Boise State, averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2 assists in 129 games. His best campaign was exactly 2019-20, in which he averaged 16 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists, shooting 39.7% from three and a shocking 95.9% from free throws, and was selected for MWC’s Second Ideal Quintet.
Strong points
Very good height for the companion seatover two meters.
Which is all the more interesting considering he has taken charge of the team at times, showing good ball handling and the ability to play a role as a complementary playmaker.. He didn’t record many assists (2.5 per 40 minutes in his career), but he showed good vision to find teammates, especially coming off the pick and roll.
However, Jessup’s specialty is clearly the outside shot. In his last three NCAA campaigns, he’s taken at least 6.8 3-pointers per game and made an outstanding 41.9% of them, establishing himself as one of the most accurate and consistent shooters in the country..
Not only can he score with a steady foot, but he can showed the ability to be effective off the dribble and on the move. Excellent shooter.
His 95.9% free throw shooting from 2019-2020 says it all about his touch class, that he needed to be able to finish with his few close efforts or in the paint.
Very good decision making and shot selection, in addition to having a small average loss for someone in his role. Effective team player.
He struggles defensively and was a right pointer in the Mountain West Conference., with the caveat that he rarely faced NBA-quality opponents in that conference, especially athletically and physically. Still, he looks good on that side of the court, scoring on the ball as well as chasing shooters off it. Here we see him keeping pace with one of the tournament’s top scorers, Sam Merrill, from end to end of the pitch.
Good average in steals (1.5 per 40 minutes) and decent in rebounds (5.3). He even had 61 starts in his 129 NCAA games. Give your best on this side.
weaknesses
Jessup’s main limitation is a lack of athleticism and physical strength. This was already noticeable in a mid-level NCAA like the MWC, where he had trouble creating his own shot and getting to the rim. Just 14.6% of his shots in 2019-20 came near the rim.
Something predictable at the exit of the pick and roll, where he usually looks for the reception for the partner. He’s not overly aggressive in getting his own points and has made just 2.1 free throws per 40 minutes in his career.
Anyway, Doubts with Jessup grow in the defensive part, where he obviously does not have the best physical conditions and can be overcome without many problems, from stronger or more athletic scorers. Here we see him again facing Merrill, this time losing the battle when pushed one on one.

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to a left knee injury.

Jokic was injured in the final seconds of the first half of the 123-147 loss to the Miami Heat and limped heavily on his way to the locker room. He did not return to the site after a long time.
Before his injury, Nikola managed to produce 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes on the field.
Losing Jokic could be a big blow for Denver, as starters Christian Braun (ankle injury), Aaron Gordon (hip issue) and Cam Johnson (knee injury) remain sidelined.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
