Edwards. . . . .

Kid can play. Most coordinated Big we have had in a very long time.

Not much evidence about “doesn’t matter” if you mean a point in a lost season. JB has always had his teams in contention for post-season (bubble or NIT), except in the probation years. Even then, he leaned heavily on his short rotation, trying to win each game.
If Edwards is going to play more, he needs to show he deserves more by his play this season.

Don’t disagree but I remember Hak getting a shot and breaking out in a big way in the NIT in ‘02. An underrated part of the ‘03 title.

Man the "Helicopter" could really sky!

true, but foul shots were not his friend.

Yes. Still, he needs to get stronger (obviously) so he can defend, rebound in traffic, and score when defended. Finishing when he has an open path (as today) is easy.

He should be good next season. We need him to be able to help this January.

I would like to see a lineup of

1: Hughes
2: Buddy
3: Guerrier
4: Marek
5: Edwards

Who would bring the ball up the court?

I would really like to know why he is not a coach for SU

Because he's happy being a HS coach for over 20 years?

Right. Pretty sure he coached his kid not too long ago? Seems like the guy is pretty content with his life and career.

GMac is stealing his spot.

I agree. For as much as JB is getting beat up on this board he has never had a season reach a "doesnt matter" point because of exactly your point, hes always been in contention. IMHO this is going to be the first year that this has a very real shot of occurring, hence the "doesnt matter" possibility.

You cannot begin to understand JB if you ever believe he would get to "doesn't matter"

I’ve been super impressed with Edwards’ offensive game. He can catch, finish and can actually get up to throw down some strong dunks. He’s not like what we’ve had at C, guys that’s can barely jump and move laterally. He has the feel that you ask for in a big man and seems to know how to score when he gets it.

The problem is he is soooooo weak and really can’t handle heavy minutes because of his defensive liabilities. He just gets bodied out of the way and out of position. I guess it’s lucky for him that Sid/Marek aren’t a whole lot better on D so hopefully he’ll start getting non-garbage time minutes. If he can get stronger in his lower half and learn Defensive positioning, I think he could be a legit asset. Might even have some shot blocking ability.

He hurt his knee and never could sky after that. But, he made himself into a serviceable role player off the bench.

Hughes or Buddy.

Where is the love for little G

Hughes or Buddy.

All you can eat turnovers.

edwards could be the next herm harried. and people will ask"who's herm harried" he was a damn good back up.

Herm had the longest fingers I've ever seen. The ball was like a softball to him. Unfortunately, his game was similar to Guerrier's at this time: a bull in a China shop. He'd charge into 2-3 players at once. Edwards is smooth. Harried was never smooth.

It's a blessing, and a curse

 

[SmilinBob]

Hughes or Buddy.

Or Marek.

 

[CousCuse]

Maybe Edwards could play at the 4. He has a nice touch on short jump/set shots and moves well without the ball. On defense he may be a little slow getting to the shooter but his length would make up for that somewhat.

 

[longislandcuse]

I’m just glad we have a big that has a frame to support some weight.

Never thought I’d be so excited for broad shoulders.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Edwards needs to play 5-10 minutes a game. He needs to develop and Marek & Sidebe foul a lot. Edwards ceiling is so high. Strength and experience are the only thing holding him back.

 

[cusefan88]

Get him to the buffet this offseason. 20 more lbs on him and he'll be pushing to split the mins with Sidibe.

Before the offseason. Get him up to 238 by mid-april.

herm returned home to maryland and guided his old high school to to several titles. THAT'S SMOOTH.
