Yah, some of these comments are really just prisoners of the moment, lol. I love Buddy, but I can think of a handful of better shot makers beyond just Carmelo since I started watching the Orange during the Hart/Thomas/Shumpert years. Waiters and senior-year Gbinije come to mind. Buddy reminds me a lot of Senior-year Demetris Nichols.
You're misremembering and are a prisoner of the past. The past 6 games he's averaged 26 points a game. Every single one of those games was a must win except for Virginia and Buddy showed up and literally was the biggest factor in every single one of those games. I'm not taking away from Waiters, G or any other great player that has come through here, but not one player has done what Buddy has done for a long time if not ever at Syracuse. Even Carmelo put up a stinker in the tournament, Buddy got the team in the tournament and now has gotten us into the sweet sixteen and I predict beyond. What we're seeing is special.Yah, some of these comments are really just prisoners of the moment, lol.

Yeah, it's the duration of his white-hot streak, right? I'm not going to compare him to Melo, that would be insanity and as fun as this is, it was only a couple months ago that half of this absurd board was convinced he was on the team b/c of his last name.You're misremembering and are a prisoner of the past.

Waiters and Silent G would dream they could shoot as well as Buddy. Driving to the hoop is a different story. But Buddy is a shooter with just about no equal for us.Yah, some of these comments are really just prisoners of the moment, lol.

Pure shooting he surely has a case, I probably would've given the title of best shooter to Andrew White if you had a gun to my head before this year, now I'm not sure.He’s 100% the best shooter in college hoops and he’s probably the best I’ve ever seen in a Syracuse jersey
If Waiters could shoot like Buddy he'd be an All Star.Waiters and Silent G would dream they could shoot as well as Buddy. Driving to the hoop is a different story. But Buddy is a shooter with just about no equal for us.
They both have that gorgeous Klay Thompson formPure shooting he surely has a case, I probably would've given the title of best shooter to Andrew White if you had a gun to my head before this year, now I'm not sure.
They literally go straight up and in control. If you want to model your shot after anyone Klay is the dude.They both have that gorgeous Klay Thompson form
Back to back nattys?buddy and benny lotto picks next year and cuse wins the natty
Those 5 and I would throw Shumpert in too.White Rautins DNic GMAC Buddy...probably my top 5...no order.
White hit more contested 3s in one season than anyone I ever recall.
GMAC more flat out game winners
DNic would get viciously hot in crazy short stretches.
Rautins seemed to have the most efficient high level season.
but Buddy has had a 6-7 game stretch down the hardest part of a season that I don’t think has been duplicated. And it’s at as high a level as anyone.
No love for Lawrence Moten in this thread?Those 5 and I would throw Shumpert in too.
Larry BirdKyle Korver comp? Anyone...?
since when do they guard in the NBA?The question is can Buddy guard on the NBA level.
But I think Buddy now is more suited to today's NBA than D-Nic was to the NBA then. There is more of a premium on the three, and I feel like Buddy has a quicker release that can be all the difference in being an NBA player or not.D-Nic is an interesting comp for a player -- he was a bit more athletic and got to the line a bit more/rebounded a bit more -- but I can see it.
