Fab's development is the single most important factor in determining how far Syracuse will go this season, and this game was a huge step for him.
 
First of all, 39 minutes is a career high for him and a tremendous increase over his previous high (32 vs. Stanford), especially given that he got in early foul trouble but it never got serious from that point on, even though he remained aggressive. Great sign. There are going to be more games like this in the weeks ahead, and the team will need Fab on the court more and more.
 
I thought I noticed before the suspension that JB was trying to run more and more plays for Fab to develop his offense for the stretch run. I want him to become a reliable double digit scorer down low. I think this started at the Providence game. It is hard to tell just from the box score because that game was a blow out and he played limited minutes, but it looked to me like going to Fab early was part of the game plan.
 
Anyway, his last 4 games are now:
FGM/FGA PTS REB BL MIN
5/8 11 7 6 39
5/6 14 3 2 21
4/8 10 10 6 29
2/4 4 5 4 19
 
Totals
16/26 39 25 18
 
that's just about 10 pts per game on .615 shooting; about 6 boards per contest and 4 .5 blocks per game.
 
that's about what Arinze gave the 2010 team (with the exception of the blocks)
 
the difference is that Arinze was a finished project and Fab is on an upward trajectory
