Kadary Richmond...

[OttoinGrotto]

I still go with Shai G-Alexander. I think Richmond's perimeter shot improves as the year goes on.

Yeah.

 

[Scooch]

the three of them spit the 80 minutes, what’s so hard about that?

this is the way

If Kadary keeps playing well, I don’t know why Girard should get an equal third.

It’ll have to as the scouting report gets out & defenders start giving him space & playing him for the drive, just as they did with SGA & MCW. Kadary seems mature enough to already know this & put in the work.

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.

Not sure. JB moved Hal Cohen to the bench for Eddie Moss. And that is a pretty good comparison. He moved Allen Griffin to the bench for Tony Bland. Jb wants to win. And he knows the game. And his vision isn't gone yet.

Nothing. At least to me.

Honestly 2 guards could play 30, the other 20, and there is nothing at all wrong with that. Playing 20 minutes in a P5 basketball game is a lot of playing time! It's by no means a demotion.

We forget that it's possible to not play 38+ but still play substantial time, and contribute.

..and if Kadary is not playing well, he should be able to play through it. That’s how this works, right?

If a team plays zone against us, Richmond might not be as productive. I believe that is why he didn't play much against Bryant in the second half.

I guess, but will Girard be any better against a zone? He sure doesn’t seem like he’s going to shoot over it well.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

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.

When you put it in Caps we know you mean business. And he is a elite free throw shooter. With the right set up, I think he can be an elite 3 pt shooter. But they means playing more at the 2 and playing a lot less.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I don’t think Girard would let the world on fire. I just think our QB situation is in a place he couldn’t do worse.

How much practice time is he getting? My point is, yeah he played in HS but that was a long time ago and a massive, massive drop to D1. Hinton played QB in college too.

 

[MikeSU02]

So in some fictitious world that does not yet exist, JGIII, if he fundamentally changes the way he plays and how much he plays (which I agree with, btw), he can get to be an elite three point shooter?

I mean... a lot of people are tying themselves up in pretzels to get him to some sort of elite status.

True Shooting takes into consideration FTs. His TS% still stinks.

if he can get back to hitting deep threes, why not

yeah, it would be ridiculous to think a kid that averaged 48 pts a game in high school can shoot at a high level. you are right. He stinks.

 

[CapitalO]

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.

True Niagara does look like garbage and JG3 played like garbage against garbage 2 games in a row.

 

[Scooch]

I hope he does, but I’m not sold that Girard is the 3 point assassin some make him out to be. And if he isn’t, then I don’t think he should get an equal spilt when one guy *could* be a far better PG and defender, while the other actually can rain 3s.

Hoo boy.

We can agree to disagree if you are banking on the Glens Falls numbers.

I'll take the 34 D1 games, his terrible shooting numbers, his terrible defense... and I'm still NOT saying he should not play.

But we all need to get a handle on what he can do.

He wasn’t playing against kids that play in college.

You don't score the points he did in high school and not have a good shot. And his numbers for a frosh were pretty good last year. Check other past good Syracuse shooters freshman years. And I'm not saying he should be playing. If he stays 4 years, we will all be happy he did.

don’t disagree but he showed last year that he has really deep range

and ranged artillery is a huge advantage

 

[dasher]

I didn't know that. Of course, but you don't score that many pts and not be able to shoot. He is already a great free throw shooter. It takes a lot of time to adjust to the college game for shooters. At least for our shooters.
