Just from watching high school tapes, Donnie had the size and athleticism to do the same things Sadiq did, but Donnie added a strong perimeter game. With Sadiq’s HS videos, I was always left with the question: can he do more than just dunk on shrimpy kids, or cherry-pick on breaks? He displayed very little/limited outside shots. He showed a few threes for us, but that was not his game in high school. Donnie on the other hand did some inside but mostly outside.

I/we thought, even from his all star game appearances, that Donnie was going to come in and be a more effective sniper than he was for us. I don’t know if coaching failed him, or injuries derailed him, or if there was just some loss of confidence at the higher level? I thought he was going to have a very Durant-like style and career at SU. Not that level, but that style. And every year, we projected him to be our best player. That has not been said of Sadiq. That may be unfairly capping expectations of Sadiq’s ceiling. I just don’t see as much versatility on offense as I’d like. On Defense, that’s a different story.
