Saul can convince this kid he can be a player of the year in the MAC someday.
Let's slow down for a minute. Is this the same kid that came out of Gahanna 2 years ago? I dunno. He's missed most of the last two years with injuries. Izzo throughout Bess's time at MSU praised him for his work ethic and toughness. What's changed to the point that Bess saw a limited future in East Lansing? My guess, and this is only a guess because I haven't seen him play in person, even in practice, is that injuries have taken a toll.
I am certain that Saul and co. will perform their due diligence before making any decisions about pursuing Javon. If he can get back to where he was, and Saul feels he's a good fit, great. But don't expect miracles. I am concerned that when he did play at msu, BESS COULDN'T MAKE FREE THROWS. Yes he improved year over year, but 57% ('15-'16) is still not good. Certainly not a recipe for winning basketball, or POY at any level.
