I'd pack it in against them. 3 guys that don't shoot well.Might be the best defensive frontcourt in the country. 7’2” 250 lb Maluach, who might be a high draft pick in next year’s draft, playing between Flagg and Maliq. Flagg is known for his defense. We know about Browns defense.
Impossible, he’s not good enough to start at Syracuse, let alone duke!Rumor has it they want him for the 4 and they will move Flagg to the 3. They really don't want to start three frosh up front.

I honestly think the assumption that Freeman is going to be a world-beater his frosh year isn't fair to Freeman...Those were the same assumptions for Benny, and his freshman year...Only an indictment if Freeman isn't an All ACC level defender or makes up with his offensive game.
Doesn’t really matter if it’s fair or not. We had Maliq at PF this year and now we have him instead so he’ll have to be on that level immediatelyI honestly think the assumption that Freeman is going to be a world-beater his frosh year isn't fair to Freeman...Those were the same assumptions for Benny, and his freshman year...
That isn't true. Totally different situations. Who was Brown going to start over? It wouldn't be Freeman. It wouldn't be Bell. And it wouldn't be Lampkin. He wasn't going to start here. At Duke, he may well indeed start. They have three highly touted frosh. They want some older kids in that lineup. Who will play more is the question. By the way, he didn't start at Syracuse until Naheen got hurt.I don’t know much. But Maliq is not leaving over a starting position. He would easily start at Syracuse next season. If he’s starting at Duke, he’s a starter here.
so true, it's a big jump for even the best players. To think he'll be some kind of superstar is ill-advised. I hope he is adequate and serviceable, realistic expectations for a freshman.I honestly think the assumption that Freeman is going to be a world-beater his frosh year isn't fair to Freeman...Those were the same assumptions for Benny, and his freshman year...
Others who people thought were one and done on this board, Jalen Carey ( I kid you not), Quincy Guerrier, Oshae Brissett. Carey was a miserable failure, Guerrier and Brisett were solid as freshman but hardly one and done, Quincy spent the last five years in college.dude freeman is 1 and done..stop
Guaranteed. Bell starts. Freeman starts. Lampkin or McCloud starts. Brown didn’t even start over Taylor at the 4 at the beginning of the year.Only read the last page and see multiple people saying Maliq wouldn't be a starter for us next year? That's wild. Led our team in Blocks, Rebounds and Steals this year. 1 less assist then JJ had on the year. Shot 70% from the floor. Is this people just trying to make themselves feel better? Our team has been mediocre for years now and we're trying to tell ourselves that the best player on our team who has decided to leave would go from best player on the team to the bench his JR year? Lol.
Benny was an athlete who played basketball. Freeman is a basketball player who is an athlete. Big difference.I honestly think the assumption that Freeman is going to be a world-beater his frosh year isn't fair to Freeman...Those were the same assumptions for Benny, and his freshman year...
He still had a flat shot occasionally this year, front rim clackers with 0% chance of going inNot most likely ranked too high... He was definitely ranked too high. He couldn't even figure out how to put an arc on the ball until his second year.

The rationalizing in this thread is *chef’s kiss*
He can start for the #1 team pre season in the country but but but but but but…
Goodine and Moyer too. Oh, MarekOthers who people thought were one and done on this board, Jalen Carey ( I kid you not), Quincy Guerrier, Oshae Brissett. Carey was a miserable failure, Guerrier and Brisett were solid as freshman but hardly one and done, Quincy spent the last five years in college.
Dasher, I respect you a ton. But this makes zero sense to me. Duke has way more talent than Syracuse overall. If he starts there, he starts here. I like all our expected newcomers (both freshman and transfers), but I think Maliq would or should start over Freeman, unless a starting spot was promised to Donnie in his recruitment. I agree that we need Bell on the floor to start because he’s an elite shooter, and we need a post presence to start so that means Lampkin. That’s just my opinion. I just don’t have faith in freshman being ready to shoulder a huge burden. Maybe Donnie is different. I really hope so. I do think Jyáre as the backup will help alleviate the loss of Maliq.That isn't true. Totally different situations. Who was Brown going to start over? It wouldn't be Freeman. It wouldn't be Bell. And it wouldn't be Lampkin. He wasn't going to start here. At Duke, he may well indeed start. They have three highly touted frosh. They want some older kids in that lineup.

yes, I remember Goodine and Moyer too being touted on this board, so rightGoodine and Moyer too. Oh, Marek

Am I on Syracuse.com? Lots of kvetching going on for an offseason still going and a coach who just finished year 1 after our HOF coach stayed around 6 years to long. Oh and he has the schools first 5 star coming in how many years?
Also it’s not like Red showed Brown the door. One board insider said he was definitely coming back when suddenly he went portal. So for all the bitchin about Red, I am surprised no one is complaining about Brown taking the bag. Because that is most likely how this went down. His recruiter leaves, his best friend from childhood is shown the door and he likely finds out coaches will throw him a big ass bag. People acting like Red told Brown to walk. Usually the simplest answer is the right answer and Brown found out teams will pay him AND his friend and coach he trusted left. Why wouldn’t he go? That said let’s not act like Carmello hit the portal on us here.

Yeah but maybe we promised himto start.I honestly think the assumption that Freeman is going to be a world-beater his frosh year isn't fair to Freeman...Those were the same assumptions for Benny, and his freshman year...
