If you had to title

[GooseMutt]

One Syracuse player as “Mr Smooth” who would it be?
I’m thinking Moten.

Not even a close second... Maybe Wes J?

Billy Owens. Máxima suavidad.
To this day, I believe he is underrated, by our own, as an SU legend.

 

[althea]

Carmelo Kyam Anthony

 

[TinyManInside]

Not Terrance Roberts

Moten is #1 period. My #2 would be Devo.

 

[RF2044]

Dennis DuVal has to be somewhere in the top 5.

 

[Eric15]

Billy Owens. Máxima suavidad.

His junior year stats are just insane.

23.2 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, 2.4 spg, 1.2 bpg. 51% from the field, and 39% from three.

 

[Trueblue25]

Gbinije was very smooth, Im too young to have watched Moten.

Devo probably too

23.2 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 3.5 apg, 2.4 spg, 1.2 bpg. 51% from the field, and 39% from three.

It's really too bad that his career at SU ended on two sour notes [losing our first game of the BET, then being the first #2 seed to ever lose to a #15]. Taints his legacy in the minds of some. Owens was freaking phenomenal.

 

[Eric15]

I would consider Preston Shumpert a very "smooth" player. His shot release was effortless.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Gbinije was very smooth, Im too young to have watched Moten.

Devo probably too

Bopping along, enjoying my day, when this gut punch hits me. I'm old enough to have done my laundry at the same time and place as Moten. Now I feel so much older.

 

[NKR1978]

Josh Pace would be on an all smooth team.

 

[Eric15]

No doubt about it. We all remember the Richmond game, but we had a 16 point second half lead with 9 minutes left in the game against Nova in the BET. Win that and we're well on our way to being a #1 seed and not having to even deal with Richmond.

 

[DonLightfoot]

For me it would be Moten

 

[4evaOrange]

Brandon Reese...lol jk.
MEEE!

lol jk

Have to toss in Ennis. Agree with Pace, Melo, shumpert, fair was pretty smooth to.

 

[orangefog]

Damone Brown always seemed to play effortlessly.

 

[DoubleDee]

My top three...
Dave Siok
Erik Rogers
Sean Williams

One more quick point on Billy, these numbers were in the era of a 45 second shot clock, so much fewer possessions in a game to generate those stats.

 

[MikeSU02]

Moten and Billy are good answers.

Preston's J is a good call Eric15. I remember watching his warmups when I would go to games and he'd drill 20 in a row it seemed like all the time.

Any alley oop thrown by Sherm, I'd throw in.

 

[Briancuse]

Moten
Wes
Pace
Owens
Shumpert

Random: I went to the SU game at Pitt in 2001 at their old Fitzgerald Fieldhouse and sat very close to the court. Shump stood in the far corner of the court (like 5 feet in front of me) and made something like 20-25 threes in a row. He was lobbing them with the effortlessness of like Jack Nicklaus chipping onto a green.

 

[kuethstheman]

I'd throw Freddie Saunders into the mix. Sometimes Jordanesque around the basket with his ability to easily find a gap in all the arms up there.

 

[Eric15]

How am I the first person to mention Pearl? I mean Magic Johnson said he handled the ball like it was on a yo-yo.

 

[Eric15]

My top three...
Dave Siock
Erik Rogers
Sean Williams

You know you're getting old when a player from the early 90s is now a silver fox.
