Terrific debuts from Jimmy and Cole.

Really, couldn't have scripted a better opening act than what Jimmy produced early on.

Jimmy is the poor mans CJ Fair. All lefties play the same or something like that.

 

[UpstateSM]

Given the amount of open looks he is going to get with whats around him Joe might average 15, 5, and 4 this season.

Cole was awesome on the boards all game and solid offensively once he settled in. Jimmy is a great glue guy.

Irrational optimism and excitement is creeping in

Jesse, 2 rebounds better than a dead man.

 

[721Comstock]

Jesse, 2 rebounds better than a dead man.

In his defense, he was also 4/4 from the floor, 3/4 FT’s and 3 swats -
including sending a corner 3!

Heim-gasm!!!

That’s what’s going to be great about having Buddy, Cole and Joe around the perimeter. They all “protect” each other from having teams focus on one guy with their defense.

Boeheim explained that in the post-game presser. Always prefer the pressers when he talks bball. Too few and far between but tonight's is a good one.

6asst/4reb from Buddy, that would be a huge addition

just one game - but frank looked like the better player.

a lot quicker feet.

(which is Huge considering he didnt even play last year)

Vs teams with a good big man - jesse will be the better option...just bc of the size factor.

but overall the team's defensive rotations were SLOW and jesse was probably the slowest.

Lafayette couldnt really exploit it - but other teams will.

to get better, jesse's gotta be quicker overall out there.

Soooooo, SU is gonna go off from the next zip code as other teams did against us while we were short handed. I can live with that. And a big man with muscle mass, to boot.

This game really showed what an important piece Jimmy is to this team. He's going to have tons of space down low to work with, and he's got lots of post moves and can score with both hands. He's tough to guard and when he is scoring inside SU as a whole is tough to guard.

Definitely JG3's best performance in Orange and an amazing stat line in only 25 minutes of action. Took some long shots, but he made them. There were a lot of things to be happy about in this game but Girard's performance had to rank #1.

Hmm -- I don't know about any of those conclusions.

Very little in your post I agree with.

I have no words.

 

[pearl31]

kind of crazy that our 50% 3pt shooting as a team is with 5/16 from our two best shooters figured in

well - listen to the quotes from JB and Jimmy - they both metnioned defensive rotations as a key area to improve on after tonights game - and that was my thought while watching.

Jesse was a bit slow-footed out there imo - something to work on.

 

[CardiacCuse]

just wait until the comp gets better and you will see what Im talking about.

Was surprised to see Edwards only played 17, and Ajak 7. Who played under the hoop on D the other 16 minutes? I didn't notice.

An interesting take away from this game is that Ajak didn't play any center at all.

Edwards is our first choice center, Anselem is our second, and Jimmy is our third.

There was a time when our front court was Jimmy, Ajak, and Williams and Jimmy played center with Ajak at the wing.

 

[DomeStranger]

Thanks guys. Now that you mention it, I do remember Ajak playing the wing, I just never noticed who was at the 5, I guess I just assumed it was Edwards. I also fell asleep twice so ... lol.
