Message: [QUOTE="Henny & Coke, post: 1246966, member: 323"] The potential for our 2015-16 team really is outstanding, especially if DaJuan makes a healthy return. - [B]SOPH Joseph at PG, with JR Patterson & FR Howard (prob not getting much playing time, though) behind him[/B] - I would imagine Joseph shows nice improvement by then, as he physically has tools to be good/very good. Hopefully by next year he can run the offense well, score some, and limit turnovers. May take him until his 3rd year to really breakout, though. - [B]SR Cooney at SG, with FR Richardson behind him (hopefully getting playing time)[/B] - A senior Cooney is a big time asset to the team & he again would be one of top scorers/players. Richardson could be that "x-factor"/freshman star type player...a guy who can really shoot/score, IMO. Hope he would get some meaningful playing time, even with Cooney & others "ahead" of him. - [B]SR Gbinije at SF, with JR Johnson behind him (getting decent playing time) -[/B] A senior Gbinije is also a great asset to Syracuse. Since I expect Gbinije to continue to show flashes of becoming a very good player this year (capable of driving lane, shooting, scoring, assisting, rebounding at high level) and then really put it all together next year, I'm very optimistic about his future here the next 1.5 years. I would hope BJ would also be ready to begin making meaningful contributions by next year as well. - [B]JR Roberson at PF, with JR Chino & FR Diagne behind him (both prob not seeing too much playing time, though)[/B] - Similar to Gbinije, I expect Roberson to continue to trend upward this season, especially as a rebounder. By next year, Roberson could really be a force for Syracuse - putting up regular double-doubles (he almost is doing that now) & really impacting games (as he's beginning to do now). - [B]JR Coleman at C, with FR Bryant behind him (prob getting just enough playing time to spell DaJuan & show flashes of his potential, but prob not make ton of meaningful contributions as a Frosh big man)[/B] - DaJuan returning to team next year healthy & ready to go will be a game-changer, IMO. He should be ready to be a pretty good offensive threat for us & hopefully his time here will have improved his knowledge of where he needs to be on defense. He's always been a high level rebounder as well. Him & Roberson together would make a fantastic pair in terms of rebounding. If DaJuan does return next year healthy & ready to go, and all we lose from this year's team is RAK & McCullough...Syracuse is a legit National Championship contender, IMO. That's a damn experienced & talented lineup/roster. [/QUOTE]
