Kadary Richmond...

[Scooch]

Joe will start all year. How long he stays out there is a different matter. Woody earned himself minutes.. maybe even as a 4th guard. If this team can sort out it's weaknesses we saw a glimpse of some of the potential tonight.

I sure hope he doesn’t get the Tony Bland Faux Starter Spot.

 

[MikeSU02]

Has to play...its so obvious to see how much we have missed a point guard playing point guard. He makes things happen/can take guys off the dribble and has great vision. Another big takeaway was his size/athleticism on defense. He had at least 2 (maybe 3) blocked shots at the top of the zone as well as getting some steals/deflections. Really like his play even if it was against a awful Niagara team. Woody also showed some nice stuff tonight. He looks promising.

His hesi dribble is legit. Just needs a few more live reps, but he's going to make some defenders look like fools.

JBA got some time I was glad to see

JBA brought intensity and disruption. Really grated on the opposing players. Very good, Rodmanesque.

 

[MikeSU02]

He is an elite scorer. Last year he was more GMAC size this year he came in way too heavy. He needs to play into shape and he will be ok. Let's not dump the kid after a couple rough games in a pandemic year. We will need him. JB knows that the kid needs to get himself going. Joe is frustrated now but it will only take one game and he will be back.

NO HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT.

Career <35% FG%, <45% eFG, <50% TS%.

I'm not dumping the kid, but he is not elite anything.

I love how posters act like they are the one who discovered KR and offered him a scholarship

Elite FT shooter.

That stat line

View attachment 192328

Did this guy just steal Marek's lung dart.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

16 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocked shots

Niagara stinks, but this kid needs to play at LEAST 20 minutes per game.

EDIT: Only 8 players in D1 since 2010-11 (nearly a decade) have put together that stat line:

Ben Simmons (1st Round NBA Pick - LSU)
DeAndre Bembry (1st Round NBA Pick - St. Joe's)
Marcus Smart (1st Round NBA Pick - Okla. State)
Chris Singleton (1st Round NBA Pick - Florida State)
Delon Wright (1st Round NBA Pick - Utah)
Phlandrous Fleming (Charleston Southern - Big South Defensive Player of the Year)
Michael Weathers (Miami OH - MAC Freshman of Year; Transfer to Okla. State, now at Texas Southern)
Stan Okoye (VMI - Big South Player of the Year)

That's sick. Guerrier also had great stats in 25 minutes as did Newton in 15.

 

[MikeSU02]

Elite FT shooter.

How many rungs do we have to go through before we have to get to say something nice about the kid?

Yes, he's an elite FT shooter. TS% takes FTs into the calculation and his % still stinks.

Come on.

Again Niagara just came off a CoVid break like we had vs Bryant. They had a few practices but not much. They will be better than this. I still think it would have been a 30 pt game with Buddy and Sidibe healthy and having us practiced. Hammond is first team all MAAC. Given we only had a week of practice after Bryant and lost another starter.. there was a lot of positives tonight.

 

[Cusefan69]

Kadary definitely looks good but again it's Niagara and they look like garbage. Glad to see the performance but I wanna see how he looks against some ACC talent. Cautiously optimistic. Team cardio is going to be an issue first half of slate.

 

[JRHEETER]

It’s just nice to see some young talent play and also see success...

it’s also nice to see wins, the basketball team already has more wins than the football team and they are only two games in

NO HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT.

Caps and repeating yourself sold me. Kudos to you. Let's talk in 10 games. This is Cooney all over again. Call him what you will but the kid can play.

 

[CuseMan4]

I know people will say it’s Niagara. But our best lineup will be

Richmond
Buddy
Griffin
Quincy
Marek
Our defense will be so much better with this lineup as well. More length at the top of the zone and Richmond is very scrappy.

yes Richmond and Woody played great today. But let’s talk about Quincy, this kid has really taken a step forward so far this season. We have a lot of pieces on this team that can do a lot of different things. Buddy played well the first game, Quincy has been a monster the 2 games, you know what you get from Marek, Richmond looks great even the first half of last game, Woody came in and gave some solid minutes tonight.
Only negatives so far JG3’s play has been Brutal, I think he’ll figure it out to good of a player not too. Our centers haven’t produced and our defense still needs work. We know our defense always gets better throughout the season, I’m confident JG3 will figure it out, we just have to get those centers to produce then I really like what this team is capable of doing.

Seriously.

Everyone knows it was me.

Girard needs to move to the football team this spring.

 

[MikeSU02]

No one is saying he can't play.

But he is not elite. He has played 34 games and his offensive numbers are abysmal.

That is besides his atrocious defense.

But sure, 10 more games. Let's keep doing it. I mean, every player always gets such a leash.

 

[CardiacCuse]

Is Kadary a 1 and done?

 

[Scooch]

Seriously.

Everyone knows it was me.

Girard needs to move to the football team this spring.

Do we really need another converted offensive lineman?

 

[CousCuse]

NO HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT.

Career <35% FG%, <45% eFG, <50% TS%.

I'm not dumping the kid, but he is not elite anything.

If Carey had half the game that Richmond has, JG3 would still be on the bench. Goodine, he has a long way to go.

 

[SUFan44]

Is Kadary a 1 and done?

Knowing Syracuse's luck, probably.

 

[Alsacs]

Seriously.

Everyone knows it was me.

Girard needs to move to the football team this spring.

I would start Girard at Notre Dame this week are QB.
He can’t do worse than what we will be using in the game.

 

[CardiacCuse]

My comp for KR is Jamal Crawford. Anyone else see it?

 

[Orangezoo]

Hey guys.. no one is claiming we are winning the title. That said its ok to be a little positive about the team tonight. It honestly will not hurt you nor does it cause CoVid.

 

[Alsacs]

2021 NBA draft appears deep unless Richmond blows up and if he blows up we will have a great year he isn’t going to be a 1 and done.

 

[NineOneSeven]

He certainly can
