Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

[CbusCuse]

Mintz 32 (CG)

JJ Starling 30 (CG)

Westry 25 (WING)

Quadir 10 ( PG AND SF)

Taylor 15 (Combined at SG and SF) minutes will come against bad and/or unathletic teams

Bell 15 (WING)

Benny 25 (FWD) if it finally clicks for Benny and a 3 guard lineup that runs is what we go with, Benny could thrive and I can see 30 minutes, which means Q,T,B minutes will suffer.

Maliq 20 (PF/C) center when playing small ball or center-less team

Not sure if you mean for all of Bennys minutes as FWD to be at PF but even if you do, you have 127 minutes total for PG, SG and SF. Have to reduce those by 7.

I agree though that Starling needs more minutes as others have stated though and I’m betting Westry gets a bit more than I showed as well. Probably at the expense of both Taylor and Bell. Both will need to improve their defense and handle a bit to get additional minutes as juniors. Revised guess below.

Mintz 31 (CG)

Quadir 11 (Pretty much all at PG)

JJ Starling 26 (CG)

Westry 23 (Combined at SG and SF)

Taylor 11 (Combined at SG and SF)

Bell 12 (At SF)

Benny 25 (6 minutes as a SF 19 at PF)

Maliq 21 (All at PF)

Center minutes still up in the air.

Terry Cooney! Hey, I remember that guy!

 

[Trueblue25]

Copeland and Westry get the ball and make stuff happen.

Thats important.

Copeland may have had a few too many turnovers as a freshman, but thats fine. He’ll grow.

He gets in the game and drives if you need him to, dish if you need him to, pull down the damn rebound if you need it.

Really excited to see these two on the same team.

And looks like he can be that guy who can get a tough bucket in the lane from time to time a la Josh Pace.

spot up shooters on next years team will be getting lots of looks with JJ Judah Copeland and Chance all able to get to the rack and finish

It'll be like the Globetrotters.

As long as we push the tempo defenses will be heavily focused on defending the drive and sagging back to protect the paint. Both the spot up and trailer 3 will be there. This works well for both Bell and Benny along with JT. Keeps part of their offensive game simple to setting their feet and launching or ball fake and attack the closeout.

 

[SU94]

Qadir is solid defensively but as a PG he is turnover prone and not very protective of the ball. His vision is good so in time and with patience his time will come. He should get much more minutes his junior year and should be a starter as a senior.

Let's get this straight: Copeland is a terrific asset to the SU program.

Sure, he has room to grow as a player (he just finished his freshman year!). But QC has ample talent/skills, which are to a degree rare in a player with his size/measurables (his potential is quite high). He also provides great roster and lineup flexibility for Red. But most of all, he is a legit energy PROVIDER within the program (note that I am not saying as a sparkplug off the bench, I am talking day-in, day-out character). Coaches want that attribute, ... seek it. They do not run it off.

Reminds me of a Josh Pace to an extent.

I don't know about Pace, but Copeland, to me anyway, looks like he has that Wes Johnson easy athleticism. He just needs to refine how to use it where Wes knew that intuitively.

 

[bigmike]

You can never have enough willing passers - and he is one.

 

[cusefan88]

Chris Bell is the big winner of all this movement. He's going to find himself open and taking a lot of 3's. His ability to knock them down will keep him on the floor.

 

[Trueblue25]

Westry’s athleticism and effortless talent is going to be really really refreshing

Versatile players who are good at a lot of things, on both ends of the court…we’ve really been lacking guys like that, the last 6-7 years. So I am highly intrigued by Westry.

Agree. You need glue guys like that. They are not going to put up 20 a game, but they do a bit of everything.

I wonder if he knew intuitively, or if by the time we saw him it looked like.

Wes was named to the B12 rookie team, he had those moves when he got to college. He had to sit a year before playing at SU. With the portal today, he would have been in the NBA after his soph season.

Yup, we’ll never see a player like that again. Always to be remembered as the best player on the team the year he redshirted as well.

I expect coach red are new open coming in my opinion coach to have a pretty darn good talented team and this is without Judah assuming he stays. In the draft. Now. Now it would be nice to go out and get a competitive center to replace Edwards because Edwards. It is awesome and we tried but I mean. How can you turn down? A. 6 figure deal? Which I was surprised that West Virginia will out of everybody. Was the one that come up with it?

Let's just say with those 2 additions and those 2 departruth if we play really good defense. I mean there's a lot of talent there which could lead to some real Hard nose in your face man defense with the occasional schedule adjustment which is what I had just always wanted not to stay with 1 different 40 minutes because I. Don't want to see how that is coaching at all seems like the easy way out to me.

Is this some kind of code?

Huh???? I’d suggest sobering up and do a few edits in the morning. It’s hard to understand the points you are trying to make.
