I didn't have the opportunity to watch the exhibition games being away from CNY, so unsure how Cooney has looked this year.  I wouldn't put too much stock into his poor numbers though.  Someone asked about him being a spark off the bench, and while I'm not arguing he should come off the bench or start, I don't think he should be playing 30 plus minutes.  As many have mentioned Cooney works really hard to get open and last year I think he lost his legs late in the season.  By getting more rest through the season I would hope his performance would not dip as the season progressed.

This leads me to my question - and I didn't see a line up in the syracuse.com plus/minus article that featured Patterson as the 2 guard with the players that I suspect will get the bulk of the minutes (Joseph, Gbinije, McCullough and Christmas).  Did we see this? Do others think this would be a good option?  I have been pleasantly surprised with Patterson's numbers and have always thought that he is a good defensive player (much like Cooney), but he does seem susceptible to the bonehead play.  Could we see the two of them split time at the off guard or will Patterson see more of the bench when we get to the season?
