The revised history in this post is laughable. 
JG3 and Buddy were without a doubt, the worst top-of-the-2-3 Zone guard combo in SU history. Kadary was a much better defender than either of them. Maybe you can revert to your beloved "stats" and prove me wrong, but the eye test was obvious to anyone watching.
JB decided that in order to have Buddy at the 2, he needed to choose either JG3 or Kadary at the point, and in his learned opinion, he settled on a sophomore Girard, even if it meant having him play out of his natural position.
And obtw, this wasn't the first time- I remember Stevie Thompson and Todd Burgen forcefed at PG, and even an undersized Red Bruin playing out of position at the 4, so in fairness to JB, this was not unusual. Problem was that his prior teams had significantly better talent, and he could get away with doing that. 
In choosing JG as the PG over a pure 6'6 PG in Kadary, JB made it almost inevitable that KR would go elsewhere. And FYI, Kadary was an All-BE performer at Seton Hall so the tripe about his not doing much more than he would have done here, is again,  revisionist history to support a flawed and biased perspective.
