Cugalabanza Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've yet to see MCW play up to the hype he gets. I've only seen the Temple game this year and obviously that was a stinker. But I watched him quite a bit last year and was not impressed. I know he's still young, but I just don't see it in him. I hope he proves me wrong.

He's flat out dominated everyone. Not to mention # 1 inte country in assists and #2 in steals. He's doing something right. There's no comparison to last year. He might best the best PG in the country and most likely a lottery pick in the draft right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 He'll probably need to when MCW leaves for the NBA. Hopefully not with the continued development of Cooney and the addition of Duke transfer Michael Gbinjie and frosh Ron Patterson. Plus, I still think we have an outside shot at 2013 combo guard Rysheed Jordan. Dude!! That was his one bad game tis year. He's flat out dominated everyone.

I do question his ability, however, to play with discipline and demonstrate leadership. I have to remind myself sometimes that he basically is a freshman...he only played about 270 total minutes last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I seriously question whether this year's squad is any good. Shooting is very suspect.

I figured that Rak would make the freshman-sophmore leap (as many SU big men have in the past), and that we'd get more from DC2. So far, no such luck.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) A lot of doom and gloom around here lately. Watched yesterday's game on ESPN3, and granted it was against power house Central Connecticut State, but the team really seemed to put things back together. It all started with MCW who looked like his old self again. I believe he was one rebound shy of a triple-double. MCW also was light's out from behind the arc. Dujuan Coleman is starting to look more comfortable IMO, as he played well in his 20 minutes scoring 13 points (3-5 from the charity stripe). Jerami Grant also made good use of his minutes. Trevor Cooney had that deer in headlights look again, as he was 2-8 from the field for 6 shaky points. The defense looked slow and sloppy in the early going, as the grossly undersized CCSU squad picked apart the zone, moving the ball well and finding good shots. That was short lived, however, as JB seemed to have the defense tightened up by the end of the 1st half. Syracuse should have a decent test this Wednesday when the 9-2 Scarlet Knights come to the dome. They have a pesky guard in Eli Carter who will likey be in MCW's hip pocket for the entire game. Anyway....still have faith that JB will bring this team together....if not, however, Autry and Hop have been doing a great job on the recruiting trail. Here's 2014 committ, 5 star SF Chris McCullough (ranked 12 overall by ESPN). McCullough is probably Syracuse's best recruit since Carmelo Anthony. Definitely a one-and-done type of kid.

section122 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 #903 for Coach Boeheim....game started slowly, then the Cuse took over. Congrats Coach Boeheim!!! All year they start out slow and then bang! Up by 15! Great game and a good statement to make to the Big East. I was at the game so I don't know his name but #5 from Rutgers was on fire to begin the game and I had visions of Temple all over again. Luckily that wasn't the case. MCW had a bit of a gunner attitude at the beginning of the game and I actually liked that he was trying to exert some dominance. Absolutely love Grant on the floor and Christmas I thought played well. This was a game to me that the length really played a factor. Christmas and Keita were very active on defense and it was great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the game, but I hear he played pretty well. It has to be difficult for him to find any type of rhythm...especially with shooting. Heard Christmas was a beast on defense. Also, this is the type of effort we are going to need from Brandon Triche (consistently) if we are going to do anything this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 tough scrappy win for 'Cuse today in South Florida. But for the majority of the game they had the game in hand but could never really put the game away. Keita and Rak were in foul trouble yet still no sign of coleman in the second half and jerami grant only seemed to play in the first half... a conference road win is still a huge win, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Maybe it's just me, but I am not loving MCW's game. He seems to get really sloppy, and then force passes and shots. I know he maybe had an off game today against S. Florida, but I haven't really been enjoying this team play with MCW running the show. Kinda wish Triche got more minutes at the point, and the offense went through Triche and Fair on more possessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the media praise had gotten to MCW and now he was overthinking his game instead of just letting it flow naturally. Yesterday actually seemed like he was starting to come back around. Not all the way mind you, but it was better than it had been the last few games previously. And I would also think the shoplifting scandal got in his head too. The further away that recedes into the background the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 He was trying to score, to show the NBA scouts that he can do so, IMO. He needs to think "team first" - he had Triche open a few times yesterday (including once on a 2-on-1), and opted to hold on to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Missed the last couple games...MCW seems to be getting grilled a lot. Almost impossible to understand how they're boatracing these teams even if they're not very good because they have zero post game (I understand Triche has played well). Unfortunately the next couple games aren't on tv either, meh. Defense is ranked #1 in the country on kenpom now, so i'm sure that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his play is erratic at times, he is widely regarded as the best PG in all of college basketball. Remember, the NBA drafts on potential....not necessarily on how "NBA ready" a player is at the time. If MCW stays for another season it will be his decision alone....not because NBA people are telling him he's not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshmen got some minutes today. Was hoping Christmas would be more involved in the offense but was not Was thinking the same thing. MCW's game reminds me of the peak of my bb career in middle school. I would just drive, and if another defender came to help, would slip the ball to the open guy. That was pretty effective, until everyone started getting taller! MCM obviously does more than that, but that's a lot of his game. My bigger concern with him is he is a very inconsistent outside shooter. Not sure I've seen him hit outside shots with any consistency. Tough to survive in the NBA without a steady jump shot. Glad to see the freshmen get some minutes. We're going to really need Grant if Southerland is out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather, most folks seem to think that this is a minor academic infraction like a missing assignment/incomplete class form the fall semester. If this is true, Southy is likely to miss a few more games while he takes care of his business and goes through the appeals process. This is best case scenario. There are those out there who suspect that there may be something greater involved...like violation of school rules or some kind of violation surfacing from his prep school days. It is encouraging, however, that we haven't seen his name in the police blotter and that he was on the bench (in street clothes) for the Nova game. JB said "I am hopeful" that he returns soon. This to me is slightly encouraging, as JB is usually pretty tight-lipped about these things. Typically, he would say something to the effect of "I can't discuss the details of that situation at this time." I'm kinda grasping at straws here....really want Southy to come back.
