I agree. On a different team with a new coach and system, I think he will be better. Last year though just killed me watching him at times. He just slows everything down to a crawl when he gets the ball and if he doesn't shoot, he rarely did anything besides just passing it back out to the perimeter - meanwhile, 8-10 seconds would come off the clock. He has to learn how to do some things rather than just shoot and take time off the clock.

I have my gripes with Boeheim lately, but before the Buddy ball years, he was usually very good at making sure players knew their role. Certain guys were essentially not allowed to take certain shots (that's in part what led to Roberson's issues). No way would Boeheim have allowed three guys (JJ, George, and Kiyan) to heave up 3's like they did. Kiyan was 25.4% from deep but would try to replicate Steph Curry shots from the logo. JJ was 28.9% (nearly 3 attempts per game) and George at 29.3% (nearly 4 attempts per game). Hopefully GMac can help define the right role for guys, especially Kiyan so he doesn't work against what we're trying to do on offense.
