Is there any hope to believe that Bourama could play a season without pain?

Some guys have terrible luck.

I'm ok with Bourama staying if it doesn't make Frank leave. If its a either/or situation then I hope Bourama moves on.

I have zero confidence that Sid can remain healthy to be effective even if he were to come back. He’s got the knees of an 85 year old.

 

[Trueblue25]

Surely you’d not part Bourama from
his walking stick!

Even in 2020 I was expecting him to go out at any time for the year. But he made it through that season. You got to give him a 50-50 shot IMO to give us close to a full year.

He won't count towards our scholarships and should push Edwards in practice at the very least so I'd like him back. Not sure if he'd get the auto start over Jesse even just the Dejuan token one of hes clearly backup but still starts.

A young Oscar Pritorius? Not the best choice. I'd like to cancel that one please.

He's going to decide after the spring game.

Bourama Sidibe - Still not clearSidibe (knee) has yet to be cleared for basketball activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Sidibe only played in two games last season due to a knee injury. It's unclear when he will be ready to go with practices getting ready to start in the next couple weeks. Sidibe averaged 6.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game back in the 2019-20 campaign

That link looked troubled. This one might be better.

Get that extra schooling and be a leader from the bench young man. Between Sidibe and Coleman and to a lesser extent Chukwu (eye) the big man injury bug needs to chill for a bit.

That's not great.

That's not great.

Well it was Jesses time to shine anyways but now all eyes go to Frank in terms of where he is on the curve.

This surprises no one for sure but still - sucks.

 

[Dick_in_MI]

Truthfully, I have thought right from the start that Bourama probably wouldn't play. I think JB had a free scholarship and gave a good kid and good student some free graduate work. If he were able to give us any actual PT it would be a bonus.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Not surprising at all, which is why roster predictions with him getting 20+ mpg were a bit premature.

This opens the door for Jimmy Boeheim as the starting PF and backup center.

If he is not a liability it also looks positive for Frank's development to get minutes too given the limited depth at .

Huh?

Limited depth at ?

I mean - does JB ever really play more than 3 guys at , or G?


We really coulda used a 4th G, but otherwise we’re actually in pretty decent shape, roster-wise.

 

[RF2044]

This is what I heard over the summer, as well.

At this point, I think the best we can hope for is that Sidibe recovers physically. If so, then maybe he can help in a reserve capacity, where he won't put so much strain on himself with a heavy minutes load. Former starter as the backup = good things in the pivot from a depth standpoint.

I think Benny-Jesse-Swider with Jimmy off the bench at any of those 3 positions for 20-30 minutes per game is more likely, IMO.

Also dependent on Anselem. How much he progresses and earns PT as the backup 5 will be interesting.

I love Sidibe but I’m ready to see Edwards and Frank. I would hate to see Sidibe labor for 25mpg but JB still plays because he’s JB lol. Give me 25 from Jesse then 10 from Frank and 5 from Bourama

I mean if Jimmy is a backup Center then that is 2 Fs left essentially. My point was that it's limited by way of having to move over Jimmy for extended minutes. Thus good opportunity for Frank if he is capable to plug that hole and thus maintain the depth we do have.
