Boeheim's Army 2017

[OrangeXtreme]

Leaving TRob off is rough. I know he could really use the money. But if they are serious about winning, they need someone younger. He wasn't a huge asset last year.

He's playing for Pearl Jr's team

The Pearl 31's

He could have been the 10th man.
It's disappointing they left T-Rob off. We will all
Support the Army but this is suppose about Syracuse alums playing together.
T-Rob wasn't why they lost last year it was guard play.

DaShonte Riley...really?

Over Terrence Roberts is what bothers me.
Roberts might not have lived up to his potential but he was here 4 years and the Army dumped him.
Glad Pearl Jr. picked him up but whoever the GM is shame on them for dumping T-Rob for Dash Riley.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yeah Riley is a head scratcher. Barely an Orangemen and sort of another useless big guy who moved in molasses.

I don't know which is the better player at this point, but I don't have a problem with Riley being on the team. It's not like he ditched SU. Wasn't he pretty much told to transfer?

He's been playing in the D-League, while he hasn't been dominating by any stretch of the definition, the NBDL is very good competition. At worst he can step on the court for 5-10 minutes and grab some rebounds and block shots with his 7'4 wingspan. Hopefully this allows CJ/Donte and Donte/Rick to play the 3/4

I guess. He's not doing much in the D-League with the 3pts/3rbs/2blks per game. Probably only a matter of time until he is outta there. I was never really impressed with how he moved or defended. Just a bizarre choice obviously for a myriad of reasons.

One of the greatest Orangeman ever. I think a lot of people are biased against him because of the nickname of his first name.

Why should anybody be biased? He is so far down the trough of past Orangemen. He barely registers with me beyond a guy with a pulse who happens to be a 7-footer.

Oh boy. His nickname is dash. Think about it.

Ah, got it. Ha. Thanks.

So, preemptively the lineup is probably something like:

PG: Scoop
SG: Devendorf
SF: Fair
PF: Greene
C: Jackson
6: Triche
7: Southerland
8: Riley

That looks solid to me. If we do add a 9th player someone who can go between the 3 and the 4 is probably best. Kris Joseph would be absolutely ideal IMO. Demetris Nichols would also be ideal. Alternatively, if you wanted more size, you could bring in a Darryl Watkins or an Arinze Onuaku. I think we're probably good at guard, so those would be the places of focus IMO

 

[dasher]

This lineup does not look good defensively.
Scoop and Devo aren't going to lock people down.
This team needs athleticism in the backcourt.

You think they are playing man?

 

[Alsacs]

You think they are playing man?

You can't zone semi-pro players and expect to win.

In college where the skill level isn't the same it is smart strategy. If a pro team made the zone their primary defense they would get killed.

Zone in pro ball in today's 3 point game would get torched.

If Boeheim's Army plays primary zone it won't have a long stay. They may play it spurts but as they have the last 2 years man to man will be their primary defense.

 

[jordoo]

Triche should start over Scoop. Better defensively and rebounding, plus he's been playing at a high level in Europe recently. Onuaku would be perfect for this tournament. The courts are small, and he's a man amongst boys. He would score at will in the low post.

A post player like AO is extremely valuable at every level. I agree he would almost be automatic in this tourney.

I'm pretty sure they played zone last year and would switch to man at times as warranted.

 

[EastCoast2]

I think scoop and Triche start.

Where's your boy Cooney?

Where's your boy Cooney?

Practicing with the golden state warriors.

So they switched from the script era style uniforms to the 2003 NC era uniforms.
