He played 16 games. His last eight games he shot 9 for 34. Thats only 26% and he was still a first round draft pick.
So his other games didn't count?

Of course they counted. So maybe I should have said, yes, McCullough shot 47.8% for the year and in his last eight games before his injury, he only shot 26%. However, the Nets saw enough of his potential to draft him in the first round.So his other games didn't count?
I would never say anything bad intentionally about any of the Syracuse kids but I'm not sure CMac's one season could be called "good". Looking back at his game log, and I really don't see this happening with Oshae, is that in CMac's one abbreviated season, he actually regressed instead of becoming more of a focal point. He played 16 games, and in the last eight, he never scored higher than seven points in a game. Call me crazy, but I really see Oshae becoming more comfortable on the offensive end and his teammates becoming more comfortable in getting him the ball where he can put it in the basket. I'm not a psychic but I see Oshae averaging at least 15-16 ppg during ACC play.

Good call, especially on the rebounding.His game is more like a young Ron Artest
He is the most complete forward we have had in a very long time. His game is unlike any other SU players. I see Billy Owens as being the closest comparison.
Jerami Grant
Grant. Spin move and all
How about a taller Dave Johnson?
Yeah -- it has to be a grant or a dave johnson type with that absolutely explosive, quick-twitch athleticism. You're never going to get an identical match but his energy and just overwhelming athleticism around the rim reminds me a lot of Grant.
Jerami Grant
Brissett will be one of the great stars we’ll unrealistically compare recruits to
Was just going to write: Jerami if he stayed another year.
Brissett reminds me of the Johnsons (Dave and Wes) and, somewhat less, Jeremy Grant. He’s taller than DJ but not as strong, and he’s not as long as Grant but surprisingly is on Grant’s level as a shot-blocker. OB’s also a live athlete (like Grant), although he’s a better rebounder than Grant was as a freshman or sophomore. Wes Johnson’s another comparison. OB’s nowhere near as good an outside shooter (yet), but he’s younger (Wes transferred then sat out a year). He also has Wes’ hops and might be better at this stage off the bounce. Lots to like, for sure, and the comparisons to some of SU’s greats are likely to continue as he gets stronger.And we are bringing in a more talented player next year.
Let’s see if it translates on the court for Baz.

I don’t want Oshae’s jump shot to get TOO good. We need him to bookend with Baze next year, giving us one of the most talented forward tandems in college hoops. We can fantasize about TB staying (probably won’t happen). But even if he jumps, our back court immediately gets elite depth with Hughes and Buddy coming in, and senior FH with Jalen Carey behind him.
“Fantasy” ... “The faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable”.Only thing I disagree with is the TB fantasy. A fantasy is something you can think of: the idea of TB being back is more fallacy. LOL. I mean, if he comes back, something bad would have to happen and I REALLY don't want to think of that scenario.

Jesting aside, the important thing is that even without Tyus, we’re going to be loaded.
If he is even close to Ron Artest, we will be lucky. Loved that guy in college.Good call, especially on the rebounding.
Watching him play, his movements remind me of Paul Pierce at KU. But of course The Truth was a much better all-around offensive player, whereas I'd give the edge to OB in rebounding. If he ever gets himself a reliable jumper, he'll be virtually unguardable.
You don't see it because it's not there. I think Ron Artest is the best comparison.I don’t see the passing skills or handle that Billy Owens had, at all.
