Buddy makes 1st team

Wow. I was thinking maybe 2nd team. Did they do JAB a solid favor or just reward Buddy for being the leading scorer.

 

[Alsacs]

Good for Buddy that goes in the ledger for his legacy.

Looks like everyone agreed on a Top 3, McGusty was a solid 4, and Buddy was a solid 5, then everyone else.

 

[Eric15]

Buddy is only the second SU player ever to lead their conference in scoring (DNic in 2007 was the other).

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Good for Alondes Williams. It's always good when someone from Duke or UNC doesn't win POY. Plus, not sure if good or bad, but it shows the value of the transfer portal.

 

[dasher]

Buddy is only the second SU player ever to lead their conference in scoring (DNic in 2007 was the other).

that is a stunning fact

 

[rrlbees]

Congrats Buddy. A great achievement.

 

[orangefog]

They didn't show it, but JB won Father of the Year in the ACC.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Good for Buddy, I didn't think he'd get much attention because of the mediocre record and defense.

Scoring champ and All-ACC 1st team. Not a bad senior season.

 

[GooseMutt]

I’m sure the Boeheim family is very pleased. Me, not so much.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Congrats to Buddy. I would have expected more edwards votes (anywhere) if he did not miss a chunk of the year.

 

[Dcuse]

Awesome job Buddy!
Big thumbs down to Clifton Park and Goosemutt in this thread

 

[jdubs30]

Buddy is only the second SU player ever to lead their conference in scoring (DNic in 2007 was the other).

Didn’t Eli do it as well?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Didn’t Eli do it as well?

Overall scoring, not ACC games only scoring.

 

[dasher]

I’m sure the Boeheim family is very pleased. Me, not so much.

?? You are pleased that one of our kids made first team all acc? That worked his @ss off to get as good as he got?

 

[MikeSU02]

Congrats to Buddy, great job.

Last year's fun tourney run where he was a flamethrower will always be a great memory.

Kudos to the kid.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I can’t believe we don’t have anyone on the all defensive team! What says everything about this team is that no one except Buddy received any votes, even honorable mention.

 

[GooseMutt]

?? You are pleased that one of our kids made first team all acc? That worked his @ss off to get as good as he got?

I like Buddy. He’s a good player. Nothing but respect. But the minutes and green light was a provided opportunity. It is what it is.

But you said you weren't pleased that he was `1st team all acc. The kid bleeds orange more than anyone. None of that other stuff matters in this context. To not be pleased with his first team selection says something that is not very good.

Yes I’m pleased and happy for that awesome young man but there were games that in the second half he would have lead legs, or appeared to, and was a step late on defense. As much as he helped on offense he was sometimes ineffective on defense so we’re trading baskets. That’s where the minutes bother me. Would I retract his achievement getting on first team. No.

 

[CardiacCuse]

They didn't show it, but JB won Father of the Year in the ACC.

nah coach K actually won that for treating Boeheim like his son this year

Boeheim came in 2nd

 

[DoctorBombay]

Hard to hate on this achievement for Buddy- & it’s neither the time nor the place.
Congrats to him for all his hard work paying off. He’s made himself into a legit player, especially on offense. Hopefully he’ll get a shot at the league, but more than likely he’ll earn some bucks playing pro somewhere. Thanks for the memories, “Buddy Buckets”.
