Again I don't think he should be getting 30 minutes a game the way he's playing.. but he absolutely showed some promise as a true freshman, and had a down sophomore campaign Buddy only shoots like 4% better from 3. It's not like he's 10-15% better.. And buddy gets to run off screens and set his feet and shoot.. joe shoots threes off the dribble, pulling up, and from the logos.. if you just let him run off screens and catch and shoot he would be a lot more deadly like Buddy It's harder to shoot as a point guard But I agree kooks needs more minutes Of course he can grow and develop. And once he does develop into a good player, I'd happily give him minutes. But I don't think there's much of a chance of him ever being a plus as a defender or creator. The athletic limitations are just nearly impossible for him to overcome unfortunately. Shooting? I could see him becoming a good shooter. But even if he does I'm not sure he's a positive contributor unless we change how we use him (i.e. Kadary handling the ball and Girard running around screens like you mentioned). But with Buddy occupying that spot, we're talking about a 15ish minute role for Girard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His athletic limitations certainly hurt him in the Syracuse offense.. he needs to really work on finishing around the rim like you said... Because he is below average at that for a Syracuse guard A lot of it are his athletic limitations as you said... What you think about benny Williams?

His short arms and lack of leaping ability is gonna make finishing really difficult. Joe needs to develop a floater game IMO. I haven't watched Benny at all yet; I'll go through and watch some of his high school games in a few months probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long, super athletic, plays above the rim.. can pass .. really pumped to get another forward of his caliber He has been shooting up rankings last 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Robert Braswell and John Bol Ajak officially entering the transfer portal. Boeheim says he expects 4-6 players to leave, not sure if that's including Dolezaj and Sidibe in the math or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're telling you you're a second round pick, you need to come back Boeheim has the track record of getting that guy into the first round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 In addition to Ajak and Braswell, I expect Newton, Griffin, Dolezaj and Sidibe to leave. Dolezaj will go play in Europe and probably have an amazing career over there. Guerrier is smart to get evaluated by the NBA, but I don’t expect him to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
