You think if Buddy's last name was Girard he gets a two way?
Truth!
You think because his last name is boeheim he got a contract? Why didn’t Jimmy get one?
Yup
Do you think that the fact that Buddy is 6’5”, is a great shooter, and led the ACC in scoring had anything to do with him getting a two way?
The NBA is far too competitive to give away spots and money to guys who don’t belong. IMO.
That’s a bonkers suggestion. You think an NBA team is doing Jim a favor? Bonkers.
Being 6'5 helped for sure. As for being a great shooter, he shot 36 percent from 3 here. That would not put him in the Top 50 of shooters by percentage this year. Joe's is also 36 percent is he a great shooter too?
I hear you, but I think it's bonkers if you don't think Troy Weaver was partially influenced by his last name.
Both Weaver and Murphy.

Nepotism only goes so far. Why isn't Jimmy in the G League or have a two way deal? The way this board has spoken about Buddy since his recruitment all the way to graduation, you'd think he wasn't deserving of playing P6 Division 1 basketball. First Team All-ACC means something. He's a legit 6'6" and can stroke it from all over the perimeter.
If all you're doing is box score watching and pulling percentages without context, then the discussion doesn't need to go any further. Girard doesn't take quality shots or play with efficiency. He shoots because he has a green light. He has a better percentage than Trevor Cooney, but if you polled this board who'd you want, the board would say Cooney because he was a better player on both ends of the court green light be damned.
Easy Dr. Naismith. Nobody had a greener light than Buddy and Jimmy wasn't a high level player. People hated Cooney during his time here. Not sure why as he grew into a tremendous defensive player or how that factors into the discussion.
How is he defensively?
Bless you.
Yes, Joe is a great shooter. He is not a great shooter when he is being aggressively guarded by an elite athlete but then not many shooters are. He has limitations because of his quickness and height. He is barely 6 ft, and relatively slow, it’s remarkable that he has produced as much as he has. I wish our “fans” appreciated him for what he is and didn’t hate him for what he isn’t.
He’s at 39% this year. I think people nit pick his game a bit much. He’s had a pretty good season. I probably do the same with Edwards and he’s mostly had a good year.
Yeah. JB’s good teams always had some 6’ 8” guy that was a matchup nightmare and always seemed to put up 20/10. We don’t have that this year. I think I could guard some of these guys and I’m not even drunk.
