Class of 2025 PF Francis Folefac (MD) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/27/26)

No, I do not think Sadiq White can shoot. I wouldn't feel comfortable with either taking a three in a late game situation.

Those are 2 different things.
"Can he shoot" doesn't mean "Do you want him to take the game winning shot".
But you're seemingly allergic to anything that isn't a put down these days.

I'd rather have a guy at the 4 who is likely to take a shot a game from 3, and be a threat to make it.
I think both Sadiq and Folefac will be good enough to do that.

Donnie Freeman took too many threes for his size.
I don't expect either of these guys to hang around the 3 point line all game long.

This is literally what I am saying. I would rather he sticks to good shot selection and makes the open shots.

I am disputing the portion of the board saying "He shoots 37.5%, he should take a lot more 3s".

I didn't say that at all. You've used up 2 strawmen so far in your last 2 posts.
Taking the last shot is not the same as "can he shoot".
And saying he should take a lot more 3s - well, you're the only one who has said that.

Didn’t Francis make a late 3 vs Duke? I might be misremembering

2-4 from 3. Last one was with about 10 minutes left.

I didn't quote your post and I wasn't referring to anything you posted. Relax fella

It was about the "scouts" saying he was getting NBA looks

Scouts live in their mom’s basement’s too?!

He also shot 63 and 67 percent. He's played 100 games now, and his career 3 point percentage is about 30%. We hope he has "leveled up", but what if he regresses to the mean?

Do you think we are done at point guard?

I’m all for a euro point guard. And I’m just saying if people if people wanna keep poking at the faults every player has then do it evenly for the rest of the ACC teams that have similar weaknesses.

Dual was brought in to have positional size and play D and play a balanced game. He was not brought in to be some sharpshooter.

How many years did gmac sit on staff watching our guys put up points with nice shooting %’s and lose because they played no defense, didn’t rebound and turned over the ball.

Dual is a good player. No argument.
Dual is great defense and a steady hand running the offense.

I would like to see one more guy, though.
We could use a guy who can make a 3 and get buckets, so it's not 4 on 5.

Dual is our starting PG. who else is out there?

Then I guess we hope for the best.
But the more unproven guys have to step up a level, the bigger the risk. Not all of them do.
