LOL

That’s what I thought.

I hear we may add a 6’9” forward who is averaging 15 ppg shooting nearly 50% from the field and 40% from 3 who grabs 6 boards a game. Sounds pretty good, right?

He's a big that's shooting under 50% from the floor. Give him the three point shot. His defense is terrible.

He has a -0.5 DBMP that is only second worst on the team for the players that play to his brother.

So sign me up?

Is this forward a good defender? Rim protector? Reliable from the FT line? Difference maker?

 

[CuseCPT]

Yeah hanging onto Benny and Frank will be tough

Looking forward to people bashing them and being happy when they struggle (EDIT if they leave).

LOL: didn't have to wait long.

All things being equal, in a world where this led to this core, plus more benny, plus the recruits, actually means more depth and more players getting lots of minutes, I'd be thrilled. But thats just not what JB does.

 

[Scotch]

He’s better than anyone coming in. I want the best team possible.

Oh please let’s recruit ACC level players.

Right? Even the worst teams in the country have guys who score points. Somebody has to play and score.

He’s out there almost the whole game.

He plays too much and we aren’t very good.

I was sold on him coming here as a 20ish minutes a game guy. SMH.

Exactly

Buddy needs to understand that he’s had four years to try proving he belongs in the NBA, if he hasn’t done it yet it’s not happening next year.

Which is why hes coming back.

 

[rrlbees]

We already have our recruiting class.

 

[djcon57]

Fwiw, buddy coming back would be fantastic.

Buddy coming back and pushing Joe to Pg for a 4th straight year and they both play 35+ mins = lunacy

 

[kcsu]

I think its great. Its like the Kardashians.

 

[cuseinseattle]

People are acting like Benny not playing is nepotism. He has really struggled. If swider leaves and Benny improves I don't mind jab3 staying and I think buddy is the least of our problems. Hopefully Copeland can bring defense and energy and bunch can be our 3rd forward. I like Justin Taylor but he isn't better than buddy.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Which is why hes coming back.

I can be convinced on buddy. But both? That’s a recipe for disaster. Again. You can’t have that many defensive liabilities on the court at the same time.

I get jimmy is scoring but he’s inefficient when you look at his own game. And even worse when he’s played out of position and playing 35 a game.

Great post You’ll get silence from the supporters of this.

COPELAND WONT PLAY!

how can you guys watch the last 3 years and think anyone would be playing except Buddy and Joe. Like what reality are you living in.

 

[UpstateSM]

It’s all a great way to drive the best fanbase in college basketball to apathy. Would be the exact opposite of what Dino did this off-season.

 

[Scotch]

We already have our recruiting class.

He created this scenario. He brought in his sons over other potential recruits and transfers. This is by design and it’s hurting the program.

[NineOneSeven]

Guess we'll just have to see what happens. Not much else to do, I suppose.

 

[orangepassion]

We already have our recruiting class.

I'm sure they'll be thrilled. Hope we don't get any Landon Morris Part II.

 

[OrangeDW]

Joe - 35
Buddy - 35
Jimmy - 35

Whoever else is here, fill in the rest.

Sorry, just going to follow this up.

I did this for the player-that-shall-not-be-named against Joe last year when it was readily apparent who was a better PG.

Here is Jesse v Jimmy - bigs comparison. One we almost lost and one we are fighting for an extra year for. I don't consider this a straw man because these are our two bigs that play. Shots for one is less shots for the other. If you disagree, so be it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

PER
Jesse: 25.5 (#1 one by a long shot)
Jimmy: 18.3

TS%
Jesse: .683
Jimmy: .546

eFG
Jesse: .698
Jimmy: .536 (lower than TS because he hasnt been hitting FTs)

USG%
Jesse: 17.8%
Jimmy: 21.4%

WS/40
Jesse: .189
Jimmy: .117

OBPM
Jesse: 3.2
Jimmy: 4.2

DBPM
Jesse: 3.2 (#1 out of the players that play)
Jimmy: -0.5 (second worst out of the players that play)

BPM
Jesse: 6.4 (#1 by a country mile)
Jimmy: 4.2

FGA/Game
Jesse: 6.6
Jimmy: 12.0 (#2, behind his brother)

PPG
Jesse: 11.8
Jimmy: 14.8

These are our two bigs and Frank plays sometimes. Cole and Benny are wings.

I don't know what to say. Jesse is the only thing saving us remotely on defense. He's by far our most efficient offensive player and we are clamoring to bring back Jimmy when we should be pivoting our focus to other players.

 

[Alsacs]

I asked the question.
Because I knew JB would double down.

 

[OrangeDW]

Portal PG
Buddy
Benny
Jimmy
Jesse

Joe
Best freshman forward
Frank

I’d sign up for that.

But we won’t get that.
