With what I saw from Carey this year I need to actually see Goodine do something against college competition before we project anything.
Girard is athletic enough. He just needs to focus more on his defense. He had to score 50 on his team. It’s more a want to than can’t.He might be. And he tries to keep his head in the game, and just making basketball plays if he misses a shot. But if you do look at his season, if he missed his first couple shots, he probably didn't make one at all that game. He still felt some pressure. He had a tremendous year - better than Andy Rautins as a sophomore, seriously.
I do believe he can sniff the All-ACC team as a junior / senior, and how many coaches' sons are ever that good. I do believe in Buddy. But I also don't want to crush him with expectations next year, just because he IS so promising. Let him grow into the role.
As his dad said, he played 14 minutes a game and averaged about 8 points. That's pretty good. He had one of the best freshman years we have seen.
But let him play 20-25 minutes next year, and he'll probably shoot close to 40% for the whole year, and he'll average 10-12 points off the bench, a couple assists, a couple rebounds and a couple steals. I mean, seriously, that is Andy Rautins as a junior. Buddy is that good next year, trying to keep expectations reasonable.
Physically, Andy had a redshirt year, plus his sophomore year, before he became what Buddy should be next year. But if we think Buddy is going to play 30-35 minutes a game next year, he's going to get tired, because his athleticism and fitness isn't at that level yet. He won't shoot close to 40%, he might shoot 32% because he'll be worn down and will have a target on his back from opposing defenses. He can't run off screens yet like Cooney could, or like Andy could for that matter. But he's getting there.
Goodine is good. Carey is good. Hughes is good, averaged 14 points and 35% from three, shooting twice as many threes as Buddy. He will probably be our best player next year. (I am truly impressed, by the way. I didn't think he would be this good.)
Girard can shoot from anywhere, but I'm not sure if he can guard anyone, even in a zone, unless it's against Colgate, Eastern Michigan or Niagara. Buddy is to be trusted on the floor, but you can't ride that horse too long next year. Take the long view here.
Since we can’t rebound anyway

If that were true, JB would be the first to tell him to move on and it would have happened by now.I don’t think Washington will play at all, i wish he would transfer because i don’t think JB has any confidence in his game. Never was really quick before the injury, don’t see it being better post injury
I think Washington and braswell will transfer at some point imo!!!If that were true, JB would be the first to tell him to move on and it would have happened by now.
hughes is a better option and think we ll see that by time the season rolls around. Buddy”s defense was awful, if his shot isn’t falling he brings nothing to the table. Goodine will be on the court, he’s got nba talent athleticism!!!! Buddy does not, Goodine shot 47 percent from 3 point land he ll play a lot!So many posts with Buddy not starting.
My only question is: Who will be better than Buddy in that spot?
And freshman starting?? I'll believe that when I see it. I remember too well all the great PR by tons of posters last year on how good Carey would be as our starting PG.
Goodine, Hughes, Guerrier, Brisette, sidibe/marek will be our best lineup and should be our starters!!!!

Buddy was terrible defensively, had some great offensive games. If his shot isn’t falling he’s useless, doesn’t bring anything else to the table

So 2 guys you’ve never seen play are starters, meanwhile one of the most productive returning players is “useless, except for one thing”.
SMH. This board never learns. Always tossing the players to the wayside for some hope that they’ve hyped up in their minds.
Did you watch any games seriously?So 2 guys you’ve never seen play are starters, meanwhile one of the most productive returning players is “useless, except for one thing”.

Yeah these posters hyping up athletes then the same posters say we recruit just for the zone yet they don’t want skilled players to play because let’s be honest it’s the coaches son.
Then said athlete comes in and turns it over and can’t shoot yet they say said athlete should play. Hypocritical.

Never seen play watched them both 10 times this year? They were better than half our team this year!!! You have no clue so shut it!So 2 guys you’ve never seen play are starters, meanwhile one of the most productive returning players is “useless, except for one thing”.

Buddy has a chance to be very good. He needs to work on his handle which is really weak, same with Hughes. Both of them would be so much better if they can develop decent handles.
1- Carey/Goodine
2- Buddy/Goodine
3- Hughes/Guerrier
4- Guerrier/Dolezaj
5- Sidibe/Dolezaj
8th man- Braswell
Bench depth- Girard/JBA/Washington
I’m sticking with this.
With these guard minutes still
Carey 25
Buddy 25
Goodine 20
Girard 10
I will if I see you face to face, but that’s for another day! So ok know it all what do you think our most productive lineup will be next year and why? And then I’ll tell you why I disagree!Watched them play high school. Who cares.
“Shut it”? For real? I’ll get on your level for a second...make me.
