Energy, always positive and smiling, love what he brings to the table regardless of where Red plays him and how many minutes he gets.
Q is the GLUE ( I need to trademark that and get the shirts ordered, lol)

He looks like a kid having the time of his life which is what Syracuse basketball should be.

Awesome game from him. Lock him in the Melo center with Gerry and fix him a jumper please!

My favorite Q moment today was his put back dunk. It was one of the many daggers stuck into the hated Hoyas late in the 2nd half.

Love Q, he’s never not into the game and being part of the team. He’ll drop jaws on the floor too. Both “did he just do that?” and “why did he just do that?”
He’s a guy who might have a helluva senior season after learning to play his game.

I've never got too upset with Q's bad plays, b/c he was pushing his game and trying to make things happen.
Just seemed like he was paying the price to learn and become an exciting and solid contributor.
Hope today indicates Q turned that corner. Games could be a lot more fun going forward!

Q locking down a smallish guard on the other team needs to become a staple

Call him the glue guy, the energy guy, whatever. Quadir Copeland is here to help
Copeland scored 14 against Georgetown and continues to show why he's an important member of SU's men's basketball team.

Undervalued by our fanbase. People saying he’s not an ACC player are nuts. Has creativity around the rim like Jardine and plays on ball D as well as anyone we’ve had in many years. Needs meaningful reps and another facilitator (westry).
Feel the same way. Some of the turnovers have been downright brutal. There’s no way around that. But his energy/size/solid athleticism/creativity combo is something guys like Taylor and bell don’t have. Not saying he should get 40 mpg but I think he needs reps because if — IF — we can get the good (rebounding, defense, playmaking, ability to break a defense down) to outweigh the bad (turnovers, decision-making, shooting), it would drastically help a team in desperate need of what he brings.
There is a very real possibility Copeland is the best rebounder, passer and defender on the roster. Not totally sure that’s true, but it could be.

Not quite as happy as Q. Also, Hima has a great personality. At one point he was leading a LGO chant from the bench.

FWIW I did keep an eye on Benny, he looked like a normal engaged teammate.
I didn't notice this but others did - Gerry more animated than what we're used to in an assistant coach.

It looks like Red leans on him more than JB ever relied on his assistants. He was up standing and directing guys where to go multiple possessions on offense in the second half.

Benny played some decent minutes last night & was not selfish. Took a couple shots & deferred to others mostly.

It’s crazy that I was never high on Benny the last 2 years when this board bent over backwards for him but I really like him in the 8th/9th guy 10-15 minute roll this year. Can come in and get you a block or steal quickly or hit a 3.
I don’t think he rounds into a 30 mins per night 15ppg ACC starter but who knows. He brings things Bell and Taylor don’t.
