Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 413210, member: 724"] You make a really great point, and it does change the way I look at this class. The NBA is trending away from traditional positions and towards athletes with diverse skill sets who can defend multiple positions. Maybe this philosophy has rubbed off on Boeheim due to his time coaching the Olympic team. Think about a team of Patterson, Gbinije, Grant, McCullough, and Dakari Johnson. That team has no true point guard, no true shooting guard, and really no true small forward or power forward. But it does have four guys who can handle the ball, four guys who can shoot the ball, and four guys who can pass. Not to mention a ridiculous amount of size and athleticism that would simply overwhelm most of the opponents Syracuse came across. It has the feel of a new age NBA team, and I love the thought of it.
