JJ is the only ACC level player on the roster

Eddie can't play defense which is a huge problem and probably the biggest problem with this team.

I like him on offense more or less, but the next defensive rotation that he makes this season will be the first.

We were up 8 in first OT and Carlos's man hit 2 3s and Carlos fouled him for 2 more points next time down court. Combine that with the fact he can't shoot and we have a major problem. Team defense is beyond horrible. Texas might beat us by 25-30.

Eddie was probably the 5th best player on 10 seed Colorado last year. He wasn’t even a top 5 player on a 20-19 TCU team the year prior.


He’s been an average P5 player at best his whole career but here he is clearly one of our most important players.

Not a very good sign

We haven’t had a post player that can score or pass like him since Coleman - not even close - he can take anyone and bully them to point blank bunny range - he rebounds like a beast - can he play goalie? No

I don't like giving predictions on records because there are just too many variables, but this is easily the worst team I've watched in Orange with my eyes.

Even the Buddy, Jimmy and the JG3 team could blow out low majors, low mid-majors and mid-majors like LeMoyne, Colgate and Youngstown respectively.

We’ll see what he can do when he can’t rebound as easily. I feel like people will act shocked. I won’t be.

His defense (lampkin) is not good, but offensively he bullied a 7‘3” guy all day and rebounded well. Despite not being able to elevate, he got seven offensive boards, often when he was out of position. Works hard on the boards. I think his rebounding will be fine. His defense is his weakness.

Taylor did some real good things today. He plays hard and plays defense. He will stay in the rotation.

He played pretty good defense and made free throws. But he also played 19 minutes with zero rebounds zero assist zero steals zero blocks and several bonehead plays.. I’d rather see Choppa get the majority of those minutes

Well that team did lose to Colgate by 15, so there's that

asinine post

He is also the least of our troubles. And your evaluation is correct

This is the player I expected Starling to be on offense this season. But it’s shocking that a kid who’s as quick as JJ can’t slide his feet faster and keep his man in front of him a little better. He never seems like he gets low in his stance. It’s almost like he standing straight up. I feel like I saw a small bit of improvement in his defense this game, but maybe it was just a mirage. I gotta believe that he can improve his defense as the season goes on and the team starts working together as a unit on D. What do you think?

Must not have watched much or have a short memory. Defense is bad but to say worst team you have watched when compared to the last couple of JB’s team is over the top.

 

[AngryOtto]

This is the worst SU team in more than 50 years.
Pre-Boeheim as head coach.
And back before the Final Four team of '74-'75.
In terms of talent and being able to play the game.

Must not watched the last few years of JB’s tenure.

Pretty sure I remember double digit losses to Colgate with those teams.
