I'll still give Joe the edge as a shooter, but Kadary is significantly better at literally every other aspect of basketball. Better offensive player, better defensive player. It isn't close.
We can lay this disaster at the feet of the NCAA. They refuse to give up their amateurism charade or share any of the tourney or TV revenue with the players. So they caved on this rule because they fear a bigger revolt.
Joe can be a decent shooter when he is a catch and release guy. And doesn’t hoist up ridiculous 30 footers. But he’ll never be the passer, driver, or defender that Kadary was the day he stepped onto campus.
His shot selection is a far bigger issue than his shooting ability no doubt. Everything you said here is true.
Also sounds like he did not want to play the zone with its rotations, etc; would rather freelance.
I agree with this, still give the shooting to Girard given we know he could knock down 3-5 on any night. But the rest cannot be disputed. It’s impossible. Only Sith Lords deal in absolutes but I’m doing it.
What was Buddy shooting the first month or two from 3 his Freshman year? What about this year? He still had free reign both years.
Did JB ever criticise Girard's shot selection?
I actually believe he did. Didn’t affect Joe though
Woody is leaving. I thought that was a foregone conclusion. I worry that he actually poisoned the well with Kadary.
Great work everybody!
This is what dasher was referring to when he said it’s not really about PT. He just didn’t want to deal with the double standard treatment.
Why? So we can remind ourselves how tragic this is?
I'm not really sure that Girard is a good shooter. His numbers certainly don't support that position
His opinion also holds less weight than most of this board. And just being an alum/fan and not a journalist covering the team and chitting on your own program when you work for a website that teenagers follow is stupid.
FLorida State, West Virginia, Uconn among others
Florida as well
Florida, Florida State, Memphis were the first 3 we heard about.
There are lots of Kadarys, every year
Can we land any of them?
