Not over Cooney, IMHO. 12 PPG, 38% from 3, and much better defense.

Over Gbinije I’d buy.

Cooney better outside shooter, no question. Defensively, he was solid in the zone but in M2M, I don't think he'd be as good. I also love JJ's athleticism and he's the better passer.

I obviously feel more fondly of Gbinije and Cooney right now because that was a more enjoyable time in Syracuse basketball lol

This is a take we can all agree with!

Well, he is entitled to his opinion. And if I was to guess, his argument would be that the hoop program is on the verge of it's second losing season in ...50+ years?"

I think it was a typo. I think he meant to say that "Cuse is better than this".
But we're not.

this is not year 2 of irrelevance. More like year 10 or 11.

JAB would have left JJ on the bench because his D his horrible.

JJ over Cooney. Donnie would play too. Davis as 8th man.

Cooney played defense.

People really forgot how good Cooney was

Cooney was bashed on this board nearly as much as any player. He was a very solid player, but he took a beating here. He was on better teams than what we're seeing the last few years, so we remember him more fondly.

Watch the games in our NCAA run his senior year. The steal against the Zags where they ruled him out of bounds. Some tough drives to the hoop against UVA. He would be the best defensive player we have had here since the family reunion and it wouldn't be close.
