Yep.  There’s a reason Boeheim (and I) wasn’t worried when Frank fouled out of that Tourney game.  Boeheim also said (paraphrasing) that in some aspects we’re better.

Certain mods and posters claim I make stuff up about him or hate on him.  I think he is a decent player just not a primary PG logging heavy minutes.  I think he is a perfect combo bench type guy who can do a lot of things.  I mean he was VERY lucky there were no other options and/or HW wasn’t ready to contribute when he was turning the ball over like crazy in those Dec/Jan games.  Those Colgate and UConn games come to mind.  Or at UVA when he had like at least 7 turnovers, 1 assist, and shot like 6-20.  If there were options he would have been pulled before a H and who knows if he gets the job back.  Yes it was that bad and dire, IMO.

Now, that scenario didn’t play out for better or worse and he improved steadily.  Perhaps he can improve like Mike G did.  Part of it is his lack of speed and quick change of direction ability as well as the loose handle.  He’s not comfortable pushing or simply dribbling in traffic, IMO.  An area where Mike G is was clearly better.  We’ll see what happens if/when Boeheim changes the offense.  I just think Carey will be better equipped from a talent/athleticism standpoint to get the pace and tempo moving regardless of the coach’s instruction.
