Jimmy is a different player than he was a recruit he grew 2" in college, but the point is Buddy is a Guard and Jimmy is Small Forward.
Agree with most of this. Goodine is gonna be a great player for us, and no he shouldn’t transfer. JB needed someone to play PG this year and Joe was ahead of Goodine in that regard. But JB needed to get Joe lots of playing time so he’d feel more comfortable in that role. Goodine will be the third guard next season. He’s a very good shooter— just needs to get comfortable—and will be more comfortable playing PG after getting stronger and working in the off season. He’s our most athletic guard other than Jalen and our best defensive guard.
He played well the last two games that he got any minutes (when Washington was injured). I think JB’s making a mistake playing Howard over Goodine as the third guard, but that’s just my opinion. Howard gives you no scoring threat. He’s simply a steady PG who knows the spots and slides in the zone. Goodine can actually make plays (if given enough minutes) and hit 3s.
He scored twice off the dribble making quick moves to the basket in the two recent games where he got playing time.
this is where I disagree with JB on his practice comments. You have to get these high level kids playing time in actual games.
Washington has the best +/- on the team, but Goodine is a more well rounded player. I hope Goodine gets some minutes tonight, but he needs to drive the ball.
JB is nuts if he thinks 38-40 minutes for Joe and Buddy is the way to go for the next two years. Joe and Buddy at the top of the zone is contributing to our worst defense in 20 years. Brycen needs to play more, at least by next season. He’s our best defensive guard and a much better athlete.
I think it’s obvious why. Buddy doesn’t need to play 40 mpg every night.
Kadary’s crossover is so sick.
I’d take the Cornell degree and stay. His long term future is not in basketball.
This is so true. Practice is nothing like a game. Kids need real action.
His left handed finishes will translate day one...the ability to finish with both hands at his size will be a game changer especially when we can space the floor with shooters.
Is he likely the third guard next year? Or is it Goodine or Carey? What do people think?
I believe he should starts at PG. I think JG3 has been great but he is a SG in my option. Having Joe come off the bench allows for maximum flexibility, as he can come in for either Buddy or Kadary, but Kadary will probably come off the bench for Joe every time Joe takes a shot JB doesn't like.
