lost because of the minutes he played?
How many would have ended up as wins if he isn’t on the floor?
Really, which ones and why?We would have had a net 5 additional wins.
You’re dying on this hill and it’s as odd as the hills crafted by those who you are targeting (buddy isn’t d1, etc (although that was mainly last season))
Clearly an impossible one to answer. But I’ll appease you. I think we have a good chance to beat Miami if buddy doesn’t see 45 minutes. 45!it’s a question.
Tbh there are probably a few who dont want buddy to play because of his last name on hereWhy not create a post if only JB played Sherman Douglas 40 minutes in the 1987 NC instead of 39 do we win it all?
My god.
If you can’t see the defense struggles the last 5 minutes of games I can’t help you. Playing 40 or high 30minutes a game wears players down.
Teams with better players don’t play their players that many minutes.
Sorry but this is a straw man argument. Nobody wants JB to sit Buddy just because they want Buddy to sit. We have other scholarship guards who might not be the offensive threats that Buddy is but can improve the defense and allow Buddy to be fresher at the end of games.
HoWash would have scored 20 if it wasnt for pesky buddy in the way. Kid doesnt shootClearly an impossible one to answer. But I’ll appease you. I think we have a good chance to beat Miami if buddy doesn’t see 45 minutes. 45!
Horrendous postHoWash would have scored 20 if it wasnt for pesky buddy in the way. Kid doesnt shoot
Maybe, but I don’t think there are more than maybe one or two posters who think that.Tbh there are probably a few who dont want buddy to play because of his last name on here
Premise of argument is sound but elite teams often have more opportunity to sit starters so that plays a roleZion Williamson arguably the most hyped and dominant player to play college basketball in the last what 10-15 years?
Zion averaged 31 MPG at duke (this is not factoring in the games he missed)... I think that says it all. ZION WILLIAMSON averaged a decent amount less mpg then Buddy this year... I just don’t see a solid explanation as to why his minutes could not have been around 30mpg all year. If we mixed in brycen more and let him go through his growing pains earlier in the year I think we would have been a better team for it.
Exactly right. I’d also like to see Buddy get the hook when he doesn’t even try for a loose ball or rebound that falls in front of him. His rebounding is atrocious, completely devoid of effort. No one else on the team is allowed to do what he does in terms of rebounding.We would have had a net 5 additional wins.
Are you JBs neighbor? Buddy’s god parent, his former CYO coach? What is the point of the question? People are completely irrational when evaluating kids from CNY, both for and against.
No one is truly arguing that he shouldn’t start and play given the roster. Most people are arguing that it is absolutely ridiculous that he doesn’t come off the floor.
To take it a step further it’s ridiculous that anyone consistently plays 40 minutes and even more so that multiple guys do.

Buddy isn’t lazy, those are the classic signs of a player that is gassed.
Our guard rebounding outside of maybe Triche has always been awful though. Battle/Cooney...This isn't new.
But at least Joe tries. And the guys sitting on the bench that get spot minutes consistently end up with equal numbers to the rebounds that Buddy gets in 4 times as many minutes.
Even still. Tyus averaged 3.3 boards per game last year in similar minutes. Buddy is averaging less than 2. He has to do more, especially when he's getting locked up like he has been lately.Oh i get it. Joe is a better rebounder for sure, but guard rebounding here has always been an issue. Fans complained last year about Battle not rebounding.
I don't think he's lazy, but I would like to see him be more aggressive and more scrappy on the defensive end and fight for rebounds.
John Gillon who isn't tall enough to ride all the rides at Six Flags averaged more rebounds per game than Buddy.
