Sherm was AWESOME as a Frosh, but with Pearl around, he didn't get the PT or the ball as much as he otherwise might have.
IF he had been a 4-year starter, he'd likely still be the NCAA all-time assists leader, and also maybe SU's scoring leader too.

CJ was a GREAT Frosh player - but it took him a while to earn JB's good graces, so he played more (and better) as the season wore on.

Lydon is VERY efficient, but as many have pointed out - perhaps too much so. 
He really should have forced the action a bit more, even if his efficiency may have dropped, his overall scoring and positive impact likely would have increased.

Meanwhile, a guy like Rony Seikaly was pretty raw as a Frosh. 
An average game for him would be 3 tomahawk dunks (on dimes from Pearl), 1 putback (on 3-4 tries), 6 boards and 5 fouls in 25 minutes.
When pretty much all you can do is dunk, and you've got a great PG to set you up, it [I]seems [/I]like you're an "efficient" offensive player.

I appreciate SWC75's time and effort in compiling this info, but - you can't really glean too much from it, other than:
Guys like Melo, Poetry, Sherm, and DC were AMAZING as Frosh (DUH! :D), while other players were good, and still others may have had to do too much too soon on a "meh" team (like Mali).
