Jack is a project. The competition he faced in rural Canada is suspect.
He does have size and athletic ability. It's just raw.
The first time Jack gets called for a moving screen or turns it over, the coaching staff at UD should probably all get fired for having terrible scouting abilities. Nobody wants a big that's raw or a project. Especially not through the portal. If he's not dominating the A-10 something is wrong. #AmIRight?
I love it, but it's really not asking much for a big to get through one game without committing one moving screen. I mean all they have to do is set the feet and not move. It's not hard.
If it were easy, it would never be a problem. Moving screens are like holding in football, they could probably be called every possession. But if you're a lanky 7 footer, it's probably more obvious and gets called more. So Yeah, Wiz will need to be even more disciplined than the average player. That said, I doubt anyone is coached to stand still forever. The guard/defender path changes on a whim. Set your pick then beat your man to the hoop with the clear passing lane you just created and/or be ready to rebound the open shot you helped create. It's not like those Boals-esque backcourt picks where you plant for like 10 minutes and create a brick wall.
