theres just too much variety and too many mouths to feed

modern basketball players in the NIL era are all going to experience the sport through their own motives and aspirations

i mean these guys can make actual more money by scoring more points now and transferring next year, for example...their NIL next year is riding on how they do in these games! and guess what...their NIL money next year is NOT riding on SUs win-loss record!!

so when you have 10 guys who all think they are good...and need to "get theirs" ...and the team is losing anyway...you get what we got...a slew of hurried and forced shots...without  any rhyme or reason...everyone was just chucking it up there...

if you took away all the bad shots SU took in this game...and replaced them with similar possessions to the ones in which they got good shots...i think SU wins...despite everything. they did really well when they took good shots. and really poorly when they didnt.

when the rotations and minutes are up for grabs...you expose yourself to this kind of grab bag situation where everyone is kinda just gunning for themselves ...like a glorified pickup game, basically.

its good to have a deep team...but the shot selection seems to be suffering as a result.
