What happened to Bees post that Moyer would be back? Unless it was one of those reverse mojo things like us not making the Tournament
I hear ya, I'm just kidding around. I thought it could go either way, but I felt I saw some shots of him where he just didn't look very happy at the end (Tournament celebration not withstanding).Don’t think it was this thread. And I did think he’d be back based upon his love of SU.
Three things of which I am certain. 1. IF Marek is here, he starts. 2. Unless Buddy gets hurt, he plays. 3. The roster will look at least 2 men different into next season.
He'll be the crunch time 5.Starting and finishing are different. JB will find ways to have Marek finish games. Kid does the right thing with the ball, and can hit foul shots.
Nice to have a guy soooo fundamentally sound.

Let me ask you a couple questions since it appears you have some sort of intuition on these things:
1) What are the odds that Brissett, Bazley & Dolezaj are all on the roster next year? The answer to that would determine the next two but let's assume they're all here.
2) If those three are on the roster, what are the odds that Brissett does not start? I would say less than 5% -- and that's being generous.
3) If those three are on the roster, what are the odds that Bazley does not start? I would say less than 0% -- Boeheim doesn't bring McDonald's All Americans off the bench. Unless you're Michael Carter Williams, playing on arguably the best regular season team in Syracuse history.
That leaves one guy to come off the bench at the forward position.
I put Baz at 100%. Marek at 80%. OB at 50%. So 40% combined?
0% chance OB doesn’t start if he’s here. I put Mareks odds at 0% off the bench if he’s here. Baz would be the super 6th. In the end starting is meaningless. That’s a dynamic set of forwards. Which is part of the reason we got the news we did yesterday.
Let’s hope that OB doesn’t even sniff NBA testing. Let’s hope Marek comes back from summer vacation.

I figure your post is based on ft shooting. If it is and Chewies ft continue to improve/do well, he would no longer be a liability. If he works on his hands, having a 7'2" outlet or rim protector is a wonderful weapon.My guess is 3 forwards to end games with both centers on the bench.

I think that would be dumb, and I've filed the "Baz will play the 5" comment from JB into my "JB sez things" bucket.Or baz.
Because JB is the coach, he loves MDs game and MD finished the year as a starter. In the end, the designation is so irrelevant I’m not sure why we spend so much time on itNo way in heck marek starts over bazley. I'm sorry but I just don't see that scenario even being a possibility. If it were to happen then it means marek took a HUGE leap in his game (again not a knock on him because I think he's great) just not bazley good. Not sure how anyone can think bazley is coming off the bench so I guess I'll ask, why do you think bazley comes off the bench and marek starts?
um, over (injured, no less) Moyerfinished the year as a starter
He was still the starter. How many starters has he supplanted in his career?um, over (injured, no less) Moyer
love MD's game and he's going to be huge for us next year... but he was a "starter" by complete default onlyHe was still the starter. How many starters has he supplanted in his career?
Baz can and might end up playing the 2.
No chance. He doesn't have the lateral quickness. He's like 6-10 or 6-11. No doubt he would be impossible to see and shoot over, but guards would get by him easily off the dribble.
