Girard 2023 VS Buddy 2022?

[rrlbees]

Yeah.

I just fundamentally disagree that adding Judah to a team of Cole, Jimmy Jr, and Jesse would not have gotten Buddy better looks.

Not Judah’s game right now. He would have made the team better but not Buddy individually.

hmmm. led the ACC in shot attempts 2 years . who do you think made buddy the entire focus of our offense ? dad perhaps ?

Ah the nepotism argument, thought all ACC, scout love, and a two way NBA contract would make people grow up a bit but I guess not.

There's more ways PGs can open up the floor for shooters than drive and dish.

The threat of a drive can affect how defenders hedge/help

Really?

Really?

Yes, really.

Prime Iverson being a perfect example.

Really?

Why did Buddy have his best shooting season as a Junior?

Why did he shoot better as a sophomore than a senior?

Yes, really.

Iverson was a different cat. And nobody assigned to shut down buddy was going to leave buddy because the PG might drive.

He shot the same, but a little better from 3. I’d say Elijah Hughes’s presence got him some better looks.

Not my point.
Do you think Joe could shoot 41% from three in the G League?

But what if the guy assigned to shut down Buddy, had to be assigned to the PG because the he was the only guy who could stay with the PG.

If buddy had come back he’d be starting at the 3 this year…which is essentially Justin Taylor on steroids. We’d still be getting killed on the glass, but we’d put more offensive pressure on defenses.

Do Cole Swider coming back, please? I want to hear.

Crazy opinion. If Cole comes back, I think we might be a Top 4 seed.

I think you have a point here in that Judah really hasn’t mastered the drive and dish to the three point line. Yet.
