The “poor kid” was handed the starting PG job of a celebrated Power 5 basketball program on a silver platter and dropped it the moment he touched it. You can’t blame the fanbase or Boeheim for that.

It’s as if some of you are watching a different sport. Colgate is a very good mid-major this season and if Carey played more than he did then Syracuse was in jeopardy of losing that game.

Despite Carey’s athleticism I don’t see this talent/high ceiling/potential people are saying he has. He’s a terrible shooter and doesn’t show the natural acumen/intelligence/awareness required to make up for that fatal flaw. He can blow by the first defender but what good is that when he doesn’t know what to do with the ball afterwards? He’s not a good distributor and most of his layups get blocked. How much better than a player like that become? Maybe a defensive specialist good for 5-10 minutes per game?

Girard is the superior player and it’s not even close. I’d say Goodine is also already better and certainly has way more potential.
