Hughes was a steading influence on the team and a very good passer. I can’t say either about Griffin even though he‘s done ok. Very Inconsistent

His numbers are similar but I haven't seen him draw the other team's best defender or create offense the way Hughes did last year. I will admit I haven't been able to watch nearly as many games this year since I don't have the ACC network.

I don’t think that’s the full reason.

I was thinking the same thing. I have no data but from what I have seen, if Buddy gets a good look where he is truly open and has a standstill jumper, he hits it somewhere in the ballpark of 67%.
If he is somewhat covered, has a hand in his face, has to shoot off the dribble, etc., his percentage drops significantly.
I think a significant number of the 3s Buddy made last season came from Elijah, when he sliced into the paint, drew defenders and kicked it out to a wide open Buddy.
We don't have anyone doing that on this team any longer. That is decidedly not JGIII's game. At this point, Alan can't drive or pass like Elijah. When Marek drives, if he passes, it is going to be to an inside player, typically Quincy.
The logical guy to do this is Kadary. He can drive well and he can pass it well but to date, when he drives, he shoots it a lot and when he passes, it is usually a situation like Marek, where he attracts a defender as he approaches the hoop and dishes to someone else inside, usually Q, for an easy basket.
The drive and kick out play has rarely happened for this team.
I do see some of that with Kadary and JGIII. Joe will move without the ball when Kadary has it on the perimeter and Kadary will hit him if he attracts Joe's guy starting to drive. They work together pretty well.
The chemistry between Kadary and Buddy is just not there. Not sure why.
This is one of the reasons why I would like JGIII at SG more when Kadary is playing point. But if I were the coach, I would be working with Kadary on driving and kicking out. Not just to Buddy, but to JGIII and Alan as well.
Kadary does a lot of things well. This is one area he needs to work on.

That's where my head went to. This fellow is most assuredly going to get arrested at a State Fair some day.
That is not what you ask people in polite conversation at the State Fair! I don't know what is, but it's definitely not that! Never ask about commas!
I have called Buddy a Luke Hancock type of player.
Hancock got a lot of open 3’s from Louisville penetration.
The easiest ways to get open shots are in transition, offensive rebounding or penetration.
We don’t run anymore so it’s hard to get open looks there. James Southerland made a lot of transition 3’s as a trailer from MCW or Triche bringing the ball up.
Offensive rebounding is where I can remember Buddy shooting well off UVA, NC State he made shots off offensive rebound kick outs.
The coaching staff doesn’t change how we play and that doesn’t help get good looks.
We should be telling our PGs push the ball off every rebound get the defense moving back and get trailer 3 pt attempts for AG, BB before the defense is set.
Instead we play slow and let the defense set up.
Our problems for the most part are the result of the status quo going unchanged.
Jay Wright in 2011 when we played Nova in a 12pm Saturday game at the Dome did a segment coming back from a commercial breaking down how to stop Syracuse offense. He showed how transition defense was the key. Getting back and flooding the wings so Syracuse forwards and guards couldn’t attack.
We don’t do that anymore. I wish I could find the game on YouTube. That is coaching.

I'm two days deep into this thing and I can't get past #7 - every test has that one question that trips you up.
That is stupid.
I would answer I plug into my brain to form opinions.
I mean what a poorly constructed question. People form their own opinions from watching the game.

I learned in middle school you really should not do a subtopic unless you have more than one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been trying to decipher that and still don't have a firm response.

I plug into a traditional wall electrical outlet, Matt. Thanks for asking.
8-9 tournaments in the last 10 years? Might want to double check that one, Matty

Now I'm just picturing Matt Park feverishly entering results from his survey via Twitter reply into a database and running all kinds of regressions to understand the patterns.
WHAT ARE THE PATTERNS?!?!?!

"In a typical year, how many games do you attend."
"One SU fan wrote "threeve" -- simply stunning."
I mean Twitter is about the most toxic out of touch echo chamber social media platform to conduct these type of surveys.
Parody accounts galore, no real control.
It’s a stupid platform to conduct that type of survey.
If somebody like SWC did it here I would actually fill it out for data reasons but Park is really just losing it.
I mean the guy was doing an okay job I didn’t have a problem with as I don’t listen to local broadcasts. When he decided on Saturday to basically say the fanbase bitches at everything just to complain he got on people’s radars. Then these tweets Saturday thru Yesterday I really don’t understand what he is doing.
He is making himself an unnecessary part of the story.

At the very least, give the roman numerals some love. Yeah, they should come as a subset to the a), but I'd at least understand. Seems like they get the Super Bowl and some subset of movie sequels, and that's it.
