Something we can agree on.Not sure who we bring in but without a solid pg we aren't going anywhere next season.

This is probably true. I guess the question is would Judah play the same way he currently does if he had teammates around him that could create their own looks/provide any court spacing for him? Insert any player in Judah’s place and the offense is still likely ugly IMO because most of our players don’t need to be defended on the perimeter and also aren’t a vertical threat around the rim. It’s not exactly an ecosystem built for success. Judah definitely plays his part in those struggles too though.
Not even close to Scoop. Like not in the same universe. Scoop was the PG when being the PG at Syracuse actually matteredJudah may be the most polarizing PG in Syracuse hoops history..
I don't remember Scoop being sort of hated. Judah is interesting in that while he has been exceptionally good and instrumental in many wins, he is so disliked by many. His style isn't likeable, nor his the personality that he projects. Whatever, I'm ready for next up.Not even close to Scoop. Like not in the same universe.

Our offense was nearly 9 points better per 100 possessions when Judah was on the floor vs. when we ran a more balanced offense without him.Our team did play different on offense in stretches when Judah wasn’t on the floor.
I believe we played the way we did because Judah wants to take shots. Jmo.

I ready your post 10 times and you said you “wished Benny panned out. We only really had him for half the year.” You wished Judah had a better supporting cast and specifically mentioned said player. What else is one suppose to interpret?Reading and comprehension don't always jive. I never said Benny was any good. Plus he doesn't play the violin.
Understood. It was poorly written by me. My point is that we didn't have any good offensive players and if we had I believe Judah would have played differently. Red encouraged him to try and score because we latterly didn't have anyone else who could.I ready your post 10 times and you said you “wished Benny panned out.

It made zero difference whether we had Benny or not.

Seriously Mike. Lots of Heisman winners don't make it in the pros. Tons of great Syracuse basketball players never played in the NBA.
Being labeled willfully ignorant by you for suggesting that a second team all acc basketball player is good because you don't agree doesn't necessarily make you a fool but it certainly makes you come across as one.

I do. I was one of the offenders.I don't remember Scoop being sort of hated.

Yeah, Scoop was definitely polarizing. I remember the Seton Hall point shaving rumors and talk about his uncle.I do. I was one of the offenders.
Yep. He drove me crazy at the time but looking back I appreciate him more and more.In retrospect, the bottom line when looking at point guards, and how they’re remembered is the success of the teams they ran. With that in mind, a guy like scoop, is always going to rate way higher than Judah with serious fans. That gap will only get bigger with time.

(Some) SU fans used to argue that GMac was a better player than JJ Reddick.Seriously Mike. Lots of Heisman winners don't make it in the pros. Tons of great Syracuse basketball players never played in the NBA.

Not for his play on the court!Billy Edelin.
Heck, there are others.

Mike if I had a dollar for every time I've been a jerk you and I would be able to buy a great PG. No worries at all. Love your post and love this site. Let's hope that Red can put together a team for next season that plays as a team, not a bunch of petulant children.Hey. Sorry about the willfully ignorant comment. Thats me being a jerk.
I don’t agree with you at all about Judah. And I’m never going to concede on points like All ACC bc those teams reward aggregate stats, imo. The point about the nba is he was on the board and slid off. It’s not like he is 5’8” and he never had a shot at the nba from the jump. And let’s see where he ends up. Forget being an nba player, but let’s see what caliber of team takes him at the college level.
Kid is talented. But, imo, he didn’t improve year over year. And the major issues are that he really doesn’t have a position and he can’t or won’t improve what he has trouble with.
And, frankly, most of the discussion is just on the offensive side and not on D, where, by the later parts of the year, he was having issues defending a pick and roll even.
Coondog.
Not a PG
He played professionally for a couple years overseas and in the US minor leagues but then moved on with life after basketball.What ever happened to the coon dog?
