NBA has a lot of defense ? Is that what ur saying from the meme ?
Yes, it’s no contest.

That’s simply a result of how good NBA players are. Our entire defensive philosophy is built around the fact that college teams as a whole can’t shoot. That doesn’t really exist in the NBA unless you’re the Knicks.when’s the last time you saw a grinded out defensive NBA battle? One game a week? 20 teams this season so far average 110 or more a game... better athletes yes, better defense, no chance.
If you have talent and skill good offense will beat good defense all day long.when’s the last time you saw a grinded out defensive NBA battle? One game a week? 20 teams this season so far average 110 or more a game... better athletes yes, better defense, no chance.
do you watch him play?Huh? Hughes doesn’t have a high b-ball IQ? Lol
Stay mainly because it is the most certain outcome. Who knows about the state of Europe after all this virus stuff and if no NBA eval...why would you not stay and have a certain outcome.
It was reported that tyus dad said it was a mistake for him to leave and that is without the virus.
do you watch him play?
what is another year of college gonna do? Honestly? He led the acc in scoring. He has nothing left to show. This draft is weakest in ages. There is zero benefit to him staying. Even if he averaged 26 a game it’s not gonna do anything... Hughes is such a better prospect than Battle and it’s not even close
It's not like we're a Final Four candidate if he comes back. Literally, he has nothing more to prove, and he already has five years in college. He should have a Masters by now.
not five
Sorry, you're right. It's four. He could still have his masters if Tyus (and others) can get so close to their bachelor's degree in 3 years, thanks to summer sessions.
Yes there’s absolutely nothing that says low basketball iqdo you watch him play?
Just thought of something. Did the Italy trip make it impossible for the players to get the second summer session in last year?Do you have any idea how rare it is for revenue sport student-athletes to graduate (or be close to it) in 3 years?
Well, let’s see: There’s Rak, there’s Tyus, and...
That’s pretty much the list for Syracuse hoops.
The reason they take summer sessions is two-fold:
- An ‘excuse’ to be on campus all summer, so they have full access to all of the facilities, and their teammates
- So they can take the minimum course load during the academic year, since they have such large demands on their time due to their sport.
His positioning and rebounding was not ideal. I'll give you that.other than the fact he never is in the right position to box out on D, he takes bad shots all the time when managing the clock. etc..
I think he has the best offensive game we have had in yrs because he does actually get by people and can make that fade away shot. Thats not BBall IQ..
we lost 2-3 games this yr because he fell asleep on rebound plays at key times of the game
He is typical of most seniors during Boeheim. They have free reign on offense and fall asleep on defense OFTEN. At times, he was great on defense and rebounding, but during several instances he’s nowhere to be found. I’ve seen this over and over again. It’s just the way it is. I watched the Rutgers/SU game yesterday and Warrick had several ”just put a hand up“ within ten feet and call it a day on defense. Unfortunately, Girard and Buddy are already getting this treatment. It’s so frustrating when your upper class man should be the lockdown defenders, but they are allowed to coast at times. It’s part of the playing the 40 minutes game.His positioning and rebounding was not ideal. I'll give you that.
He was partially effective when coming over for a secondary block, but if he didn't get the ball, and the shooter missed, it left open his side way too often.
I still think his IQ was high, but he often realized the other guys didn't have it, so he tried to shoulder the load too much at times. Much like Battle the previous year.
Had nothing to do with the team performance. Had to do with uncertainty over getting proper eval and slotting for draft. Also, if he doesn’t get drafted...I’m sure you are aware but Europe is a mess right now as well. Idk how much I would want to go there if I was 22 yrs old. I thought moving to NYC was tough without a pandemic. If he had stayed he leads ACC in scoring again most likely and wouldn’t be drafted any worse then where he would have gone this year before all this stuff happened. Probably doesn’t matter.If he stayed, and we only played 7 guys again next year, what kind of team do you think we'd have?
Would our top of the zone defense be any better? Maybe 10%?
Would any of our centers other than Sidibe be able to help at all? Would they even get the chance?
Would Braswell, or Richmond, or Woody see even 5 minutes a game if Eli is here, too?
What would be better next year if Boeheim coaches exactly the same?
We'll just have 3 or 4 more transfers next year, too.

I would prefer to hang out in college another year then go into this job market given no games and no direction from NBA/Europe.
I said before if there is no corona virus he's 99.9 pct gone. I think there is a slight chance he comes back.Tell me no one here thinks there’s a chance he stays
At 22 i dont know if he benefits even slightly from a further yearI said before if there is no corona virus he's 99.9 pct gone. I think there is a slight chance he comes back.
If things are normal no question. But with everything in flux. Some guys may have no other choice.At 22 i dont know if he benefits even slightly from a further year
So how does he benefit by staying another year?
and wallace lives on foreever because of coming back. didnt change his pro career one bit probably
