I don't think the blame is being placed on Buddy so much as the roster, and perhaps his usage.  Neither of which he determined, unless he's making decisions at the dinner table with his Father.

How many players averaging 2 or more threes per game are shooting 50% or above?  Lots of them likely (100+????), and many of them should be on schools like Colgate, because, well, perhaps that's all they can do well.

So, that argument isn't really much.  Buddy deserves to be on the team, he has a great shot, he's tall, but he's a specialist.  If he wanted to be more than that at this stage he should be on Colgate.

Because on Colgate he could be more than that!  He could be slashing to the rim and shooting fadeaway jumpers against his athletic equals!

On Syracuse, against P5 schools, he may have a night or two, but most likely, just a specialist...playing A LOT of minutes.  Again, not his fault, but the players are the ones you examine, and when he's not hitting shots...……..well, we're in trouble because every other aspect of his game is a pretty notable liability for a SG at this level.

But not at Colgate.

I think that's likely the point people are going for...…..which isn't anti-Buddy, it's just sort of where we are, and it's frustrating to some.  Again, definitely solid player, definitely belongs, but I think it's just more about the state of the program.
