Toney=Jaron Brown

[H2P 2003]

Anyone else feel this way? Not spectacular on offense, but solid all around, but in defense a total lock down stud.

I posted the exact same thread as you at halftime during the NC State game. The only differenece is Toney is taller and more athletic. Toney is a beast on defense.

I don’t know if he can be as savvy as Jaron and he has a good way to go to be his equal as a passer or ball handler. Don’t forget that Jaron was the back up to Brandin at the point as a freshman and sophomore.

But he certainly has the potential to be a better shooter and scorer, not to mention being in Jaron’s league or better as a defender.

I thought the same thing.

Two different types of players. Jaron was a tad smaller and not as long nor as athletic. He was a more of a bull dog, savvy guy who uses his bulk to get to the hoop and defend. Just a really smart basketball player. Also as DT mentioned he had a much better handled and ran the point or was used as a point forward.

Toney is a higher end athlete who can be a better all around player in time. I honestly dont see the comparison other than they both are very good players.

I see Toney’s game maybe developing a bit into like DJ Kennedy. And that would be fine by me.

I recently rewatched the Kent St and Marquette games....I had totally forgot how good those teams (especially 2003) were......We made beautiful offensive passing plays.....

They are both clutch.

Toney has a higher ceiling though. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was an all-acc type player as a senior

Also, the Jaron Brown we all loved was 3 years older. Toney is still a pup.
