The 2003 team had Melo and Warrick starting at the forwards. Duany was the only Senior. This team has 3 seniors.  Neither of the forwards(2003) had any college experience, and that turned out well because the Freshman were BALLERS and dogs. Experience is overrated.

Everyone keeps saying that this years team needs to “grow” and “get better”. That very well could be true, but anyone that thinks a team needs senior leadership to excel is flat out wrong based on what that team showed. You need great players. This team has 4 stars starting at every position, and 4 star guys backing up a few slots. It’s a solid group of guys that need time. Mintz is a stud, but the rest of the guys need to develop as a team. What I think is lacking is an alpha dog type forward. Melo and warrick had the alpha mentality. I just don’t see that with any forward or center. The only guy that has it is Mintz. I look back at that 2003 roster and every guy 1-8 was a DOG. ‘Cuse basketball has gone after soft players of late. It’s just how it’s been. I hope it changes and these guys get nasty, because that is what it takes.
