17-18, oddly enough, we just couldnt score

5 years ago? Huh.

They also need eyes in the back of their head so they see when the wing is cutting to the hoop behind them.

And they also need to replicate themselves so they can cover 2 shooters at once.

This team 2009-10 Men's Basketball Roster - Syracuse University Athletics, except at small forward, was not decidedly more athletic than the current team.

A lot bigger and stronger in 2010. Backcourt was 6’4 and 6’5, this year it’s 6’2 and 5’10.

Hima splitting the spot with a transfer that can play and Hima splitting the spot with Carey are two very different things to me.

Even if Hima does improve a lot and start, he’s a 20 mpg level starter, not a 30+ mpg level starter. We need another guy, for sure.

That is if we stick with the antiquated zone.

If we have a new coach we are probably fine if hes the true center that plays 15-20 mpg you need a good C/PF that is preferably taller and bigger than Brown but if you add that guy and want to be a more guard oriented offense I think that is enough.

Because when the zone has the pieces it tends to be elite. And that remains true in this era of basketball.

I absolutely love the zone when it works. I just hate it when it doesn't.

As a young man my late father once told me; "Son, in life you must always have options. Never be in a position where you're going down with the ship because of a lack of options".
Other than the press, JB has nothing, nada, nyet zip, zilch when the zone is getting shredded. Its always been that way, and remains so until he's gone. He'll die on the zone hill, come hell or highwater.
