Really bad offensive possessions down the stretch. I don’t mind playing Houston. They will be tough, but we are playing really well now.

transplantbillsfan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It's interesting because Syracuse's depth players seem like they've really come into their own at the end of the year. Richmond, Braswell and Edwards look like real forces on this team and all 3 look like they have incredibly promising futures in Syracuse. Braswell looks like he'll be playing in the NBA in 2-3 years. I really have mixed feelings about Girard... especially as a point guard. I think Richmond will make a better point guard moving forward next year and then obviously when Buddy leaves the problem is almost solved as Girard can just become a shooting guard. Well... I would never make a prediction about our next game. But Syracuse has already proven they can beat anyone since they pretty much dominated both opening games against supposedly superior opponents. Just waiting for the time of tip off next Saturday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Richmond looks like he'll be an NBA player if he can ever figure out how to finish around the rim. Braswell appears to have the athleticism to get it done around the rim and has been hitting distance shots lately, too. Regardless... Syracuse looks pretty good moving into the next couple seasons.

It's like apples to oranges. One is a 6'5 true freshman point guard with an elite skill set for the NBA Braswell is basically a junior coming into his best basketball now.. and he really can't go off the dribble much.. he's a tremendous athlete, knows the defensive zone, and is a solid shooter..

Never seen him play with such confidence. He was huge for us tonight. Not only with his shooting— but his D has improved. He’s handling well Against really tough pressure, and the guy is chasing down all sorts of rebounds— I think he had like 7 rebounds tonight. I think this team really needs him and Buddy to shoot well to actually continue this run. The only other consistent outside shooter is Griffen and he’s just a mess now.

We're going to need him this tournament and the next couple years if we want to go anywhere He's a really good shooting point guard but he does have some limitations.. but so do most players Edited March 22, 2021 by Buffalo716 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'll be surprised if Kadary doesn't end up on NBA radars either next year or the year after. His defense, passing ability, poise, and size as a ball-handler is going to get him looks just like it did MCW. He's the most promising guy on the roster right now in terms of NBA prospects. Guerrier's development as a shooter is huge for his prospects. I'm curious to see if he ends up getting drafted at some point. He seems to be what we had hoped Oshae Brissett might be for us. If Buddy can sustain himself as a 40+% shooter, I think he'll get a shot to earn a place in the league like Matt Thomas and Duncan Robinson did but we'll see. I don't think anyone else on the roster has NBA potential (barring someone currently marginal like Edwards, Anselem, or Newton developing a lot in the near future). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he hates it here the way Brissett did so I don't think he'll rush himself to the NBA if he looks unlikely to be drafted.

Grant was a potential 1st rounder and a lock to be picked and his family needed the money so he left.

If sidibe is healthy I can see him taking it tho And I never said that Braswell has to handle it like a point guard. but a small forward that gets in the nba absolutely has to be able to put the ball on the deck.. atleast like oshae brissett , or kris Joseph.. and create his own shot.. he can't yet I'm not saying he can't get there, because Syracuse is always great at developing players..

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Was randomly watching the highlights of the 2003 Syracuse/Kansas championship game. Sort of forget how stacked that team was, and how young! Other than Kueth Duany , all underclassmen. Had everyone stayed and Edelin stayed out of trouble, we could have had a little dynasty there. The other thing I forgot was how Duany Actually had a really nice game in the final— scoring about 11 points and hitting some big 3’s, as well as playing his usual good defense. He was a real present surprise as that season developed, especially after losing Deshaun Williams at the start of the season and with Edelin’s suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want on a binge of Syracuse games (and watching the Cubs World Series TV broadcasts for the first time) at the beginning of the pandemic when we didn't have any sports to watch. Teams like the 2003 team and the MCW Final Four team looked like they were playing a totally different sport from what we saw last year and most of this year. They ran the floor so much and were just everywhere defensively. Our defensive intensity so far in the tournament has been a really pleasant surprise.

A lot of people on this thread complain that boeheim plays too slow And I always said these last few years with no depth have forced us to play slow, but boeheim historically recruits great athletes who love to run the floor and get out in transition Boeheim is slowly getting back to that style, and we have the athletes to do it now.. we just need to get stops on defense so we can run in transition Richmond, Guerrier, Griffen, Dolezaj and Braswell are all tremendous in transition...

We have been so used to the last 5 years or so of just grind-it out iso ball or pick and rolls with no rolls on offense, and just much less athletic and slower defenders, or guys that don’t understand the Defense or who aren’t playing natural positions. those other cuse teams were athletic, fast, and smooth. I remember when they would be one of the best fast break teams even. In that 2003 tourney, they were scoring in the 80s and 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(By the way, don’t you love how we have to go through google now since Post Standard is making all the Bball articles $$ articles?). I will say that shin splints are no joke. I had those about 5 years ago playing hoops and they just got worse and worse. The only thing that helps is prolonged rest. I had to shut it down for like 6 weeks. Fortunately I never had shin splints, but my brother was a hurdler who had them and he said it made it impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
