Has nothing to do with any of that. My response is directed to this dopey narrative that Q wouldn’t be the best of the 3 forwards. It’s absurd
Well, that isn't what you responded to me with. You were dismissive of Cole. Q wouldn't have done any more than Cole if he was at Nova. I think we are all going to find that out next winter.
Scorching hot take.
I like Sid or Edwards better than Gumby
Huh? I didn’t respond to you. I responded to Cusefan0307 saying we’re not losing an All American in Q
And Joe doesn’t need to be Kadary in order for us to be a really good team. Consistent play near the level he was at during the first weekend of the tourney would be more than enough given what’s around him.
I didn't see AZ refer to Guerrier being an AA.
Look, if you are going to nit pick...lol
preferred kadary as PG...but good chance Joe is better next year than he was this year.
Joe isn’t a PG. That is the thing.
Never said Q was an AA. You guys are struggling to follow along for some reason. There’s a narrative here now that Q was solid not great...and were comfortable with his replacements. I’m saying we’re understating how good he was and trying to support that with guys that are nowhere near his equal in the roles they’ve been in.
Right. I just can’t seem to make these guys understand that logically losing Q for Cole and JBJ is not an even trade base on what they’ve done. If we could trade back tomm we’d do that 100 out of 100 times
Symir Torrence is not exactly chopped liver. I look for him to be a revelation, as well as a hopefully healthy Sid and much-improved Jesse giving us the low post scoring we need. Other than Rak, the 5 position is not usually counted on for scoring in JB’s system, but more so to protect the basket and rebound.
Yeah we just have literally no idea what we have. None
I trust JB to put it all together and make it work.
Boy i sure hope so.
He will make us a bubble team at worst.
We have a lot of players who would not get rotational minutes at Villanova.
Exactly. It’s shaping up to be a one dimensional team, unless Benny proves to be a stud who can drive to the rim and/or score in the paint, Junior shows he can actually operate effectively in the post against P5 players, and Girard improves his conditioning and proves he can penetrate and actually finish through contact against the best ACC players. I’m not saying those things can’t happen. They very well could. It’s just a lot of ifs. I liked this team better when we still had Kadary and Quincy on it, but also added Cole to replace Braswell.
Right. People who watched Kadary in high school at Brewster knew how good he was and that he was gonna be able to contribute at PG right away. We saw the tape and watched some of his games against future D1 competition. Symir on the other hand hasn’t done anything at Marquette in two seasons, and I wasn’t that impressed with his high school highlights. I hope he proves to be a really good backup and can effectively get to the rim and score, but right now there’s not much to go on.
