While I think some of those charge calls on the Mintz floaters were totally bush league (ball fully released like a foot before contact), obviously Mintz can’t be going around slapping people. if there is a positive, it’s that Taylor had a great game.

DCOrange Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I've been waiting for Taylor to get a real shot. Glad to see him step up in a major way. That and Bell continuing to hit mid-range jumpers are pretty much the only positives after that game. I guess if we're really trying to be optimistic, Jesse dealt with foul trouble all game, Judah was ejected early, and Joe would have been more helpful if he had been ejected and we still managed to nearly beat Bryant... Realistically, this just isn't a tournament team; certainly not an NCAA Tournament team but likely not making the other tournaments either if I had to guess. I'm just going to try to continue enjoying the young guys as long as they remain at Syracuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Pretty clear that this team isn’t going to win more than a few games here in conference play. That was just really an embarrassing loss to a decent Illinois team. It seemed like they were outscored like 30-5 the last 15 minutes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I had said Mintz would have some ugly games when he isn’t getting the foul calls he tries for…that was one of them lol. It’s going to be a long year. Just have to hope the young guys are interesting enough to be somewhat fun to watch and hope that Boeheim retires at the end of the year. I tend to think this program will never be what it once was but I know for sure Boeheim isn’t the guy to save it.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Nothing like a “get right” game against Oakland! I will say that I thought our zone was leaky— that Oakland zone is…. Woof. hopefully the team can build on some of the nice offensive momentum from the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 This team has a lot of talent! And it’s gelling Jesse is a 2nd round pick … maybe late 1st… mintz is an nba player finally SU athleticism is back … Benny can leap , Jesse can leap , Judah has bounce this CAN be a tourney team if everything goes well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Great win! Really love what Ajak brings to this team. Very smart player and great passer; hustles on D and plays hard. if Edwards and Mintz can play at that level, it’s really going to open the floor for the other guys to make some buckets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 That game just felt like everything was going wrong for Cuse and despite that still pulled it out 5 hours ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: you are preaching to the choir about why these kids shouldn’t transfer.

With Edwards and JG3 leaving after this year, I expect Taylor and Bell to get much more PT next year. Heck Taylor and Bell both played a decent amount last game, I particularly think Taylor's confidence is growing and you can see it in his play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Liked Maliq Browns performance against VaTech, he could maybe take over the 5 next year with edwards gone.

He’s an exceptional shooter. Athletic but not physically imposing yet. Not a guy that’s going to take it to the rack right now. Still has time to grow into his body. Gifted shooter for sure though.
