Nait George in the portal

I agree that sometimes we do the we are better off without them to cope these two are not the case.

System or not, Nait George is not that good of a player. Betsey just kinda mopes around. Maybe he’ll hit a few 1 in 4 games. Happy we are moving on from both.

every syracuse basketball fan when someone transfers says "we did not want him" "or glad he is gone". Losing Betsy hurts that team and George was an all ACC type PG at Tech and came here and was cheeks with Autry. If he stayed with Jerry he probably woulda been pretty decent to good.

There were far too many losing players on this team. That’s a locker room and culture thing.

You can put the terrible showings against solid or top teams on Autry but losing to Hofstra and BC are on the shoulders of the players. Mainly JJ, George and Donnie.

With those players on the court we should’ve been able to win with the coaches sitting in the locker room.

I think it is more nuanced.

He is a great passer in transition, but struggled in half court.

However, it is easiest to handle the ball / dish for assists when you are running. Paul Harris looked phenomenal in transition, which is why people believed he might devleop into a "point guard." No, he was great in transition, but lousy running an offense in a half court set.

Coincidentally, George wasn't good at that, either.

So... depends on what you mean by "great passer." He had good court vision, and in transition hit on a bunch of lobs, dimes for his teammates. In half court sets? Not so much.

I think he's one of the better passers we've had in the last decade or so (not saying a ton given our struggles, but still). It's easier to look like a good passer when you have teammates that can make shots and when you yourself are a threat to score.

Fair. I wasn’t a fan of his game but passing to JJ when he was struggling was guaranteed to not be an assist.

My problem with Nait, among the many other things mentioned here previously, was him taking long shots early in the shot clock, potentially starting the fast break for the other team. Just bad basketball

His decision making in transition or when trying to push was so Jekyll an Hyde too…

Spend wisely? Discuss estimates for players if we have the $$$$
3 Sienna players total 1M
White 1M
Kingz 1M
Kiyan (500k) or Melos money

That adds up to 14 million
By my math. That’s a lot of bread.
Freeman or other stud 2.5M?
Center 3M
PG 2M
Backups 2M?
