Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

It’s rarely carried over to games for either of them. I played with a guy in HS who was a dead Reggie Miller ringer in practice, but when he got in a game he could not hit anything. Practice speed is not the same as game speed.

Yeah we've seen Cuffe in a decent amount of game action, and I can't say he's done much to have me clamoring for him getting more minutes. He's a plus defender, for sure, but he's a tweener at this level, which isn't ideal.

We have 87 guys in the rotation as it is and we want to add 2-3 more? At some point you have to get you 7-8 set which Red has not gotten there with

You act like I want to add 2 more players to a 25 win team. If there are people who can help on the bench, why wouldn't you play them? That makes no sense.

Watched a practice recently...best performer was Cuffe and it wasnt close, multiple steals, good def, led fast breaks well ànd beat his man multiple times from top of the key and dunked on whoever was left down there at least 3 times. If I was Cuffe I would be pissed but what do I really know...nada.
Naheem was the next standout performer. Moving well, blocks, rebounds, solid defense and a couple nifty offensive moves.

Read this and memories of hearing about Terrance Roberts in practice his freshman year popped into my brain. Boeheim said he might be our best player. I was psyched to read about it and thought we found our next DC. Then he got into the games and it was like he'd never played organized basketball before.

Not meant to be a direct comparison (TR had a decent career and injuries got him) other than another memory I had of a reading about a player in practice apparently being a stud compared to what I saw in games.
