You're cherry picking players to compare and being too rigid when talking about style of play. The key characteristics are long versatile players. You keep mentioning DC and Melo, and even they had different styles but both fit the definition of typical Syracuse forward.

No, Wes Johnson was not the same style as DC. Actually, I wouldn't even put Johnson in the category we're discussing. He didn't have a post up game and didn't really create his own shot.

John Wallace absolutely fit the mold. Great in the low post, very good rebounder. By his senior year he created off the dribble and was good from the three point line.

Of course Owens does. He was practically Melo before Melo was Melo.

Fair was not the same caliber and nobody was suggesting that, but he too was a versatile scorer off the dribble, shot from different levels, was a decent rebounder, and solid defender.

Kris Joseph meets that criteria too.

Stop making this so difficult.
