Good for Judah. He's the type of talent who'll be fine. He's another one of these kids from
HS who maybe wasn't a pure PG that SU would like to turn into one, and it worked with
MCW (2 years) and Gbinje (3). That is not an instant process.

What I think SU needs to do is find a better gameplan to succeed. The iso ball that they
have run for the last N years doesn't work unless you have kids who can do that. You 
need an actual gameplan that moves the ball into the post, crosscourt, lots of other 
things, other than just pick and roll or iso ball. To put it a little better, there are lots of
teams with less talent that run gameplans that run more smoothly. If SU is not going to
chase the talent level it has had, and that is always in flux, then it needs to coach 
success. The pieces have been there for the last few years for a fundamentally solid team
to do well.  But even JB's most ardent supporters should concede his teams have not 
always been fundamentally solid. This year's team, and last year's scream for feeding the
post and then pivoting to throw a crosscourt pass to an open shooter. Last year's team 
desperately needed a ballhandler who could drive, draw the D, and find an open shooter.

Fix that, and SU has enough talent to succeed.
