Judging by what I saw from Jesse Edwards in that first half against Georgia Tech, I think it's safe to say that Jim Boeheim is straight up clueless. He has constantly said this kid is not ready to play in his sophomore year, and what I just saw is the complete antithesis to that statement. This coach has eroded the development of this team and individuals within it due to his stubbornness and lack of foresight. I am amazed at how a person who is constantly referred to here as a hall of famer can be so epically WRONG about basketball.
Trust me I'm not basing this post on one half of basketball. This is just one example of my point. Marek can now play the 4, and our wings can be that much more focused on their spots and rotations within the zone. The zone all hinges on the center position. With Sidibe out he should have been getting Jesse the experience he needed earlier in the season. Instead he purposely kept him out partly so he wouldn't be proven wrong. Terrible.
