Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 3358772, member: 39"] You have a very jaded view of Syracuse’s roster and clearly have not watched a Purdue game. To add a little bit of context, Haarms ranked 9th in the country in blocked shot percentage this past year at 12.6%. In 2018-19, he ranked 13th at 11.6%. Sidibe a respectable 59th at 7.6%. Haarms would give us an elite shotblocker in the middle of the zone. As a sophomore, one of the comparisons KenPom has for his play is Fab Melo in 2012. I'd take that. Also, against top competition he has done very well. He had 16 points (6-6 FG) and 8 rebounds against Florida State. He had 15 points in 19 minutes against Iowa. Sidibe had 9 points and 5 rebounds against Florida State, and 8 points & 8 reboundsd against Iowa. Not to diminish his improvement at the end of last year, but Sidibe did it against Georgia Tech, North Carolina (2x), Miami, Boston College and Pitt. Those five teams combined to go a whopping 75-85 overall and 37-63 in ACC play. [/QUOTE]
