My guess is that the two are unrelated. Brown is a very different type of player than Bunch. Brown is more of a high energy, interior defender, rebounder type who plays the 4 and scores closer to the hoop. Would be a nice fit with Carey.
Assuming you are referring to Brown and not Taylor, I agree. I like Bunch, but his skills are redundant with Taylor already on board. There is nothing wrong with that, but Brown is a true 4, and if we were lucky enough to land JJ, we would have a player for each position in this class. That is great for depth and to establish a solid base for recruiting moving forward.
has nothing to do with Bunch. the staff is looking at our forward group next year and think we could use a banger.
Taylor and JJ
And possibly Bunch.
Battle had a flawed stroke. Taylor is a shooter with a great stroke. I am not saying he will be a 40% shooter straight out of the gate, but I think with his size and stroke, he will be pushing 40% for most of his career here.
JJ and Taylor are both shooters. Bunch and Benny too.
Taylor was being used wrong in AAU. He was their second tallest player and was being used as a power forward type. He set more screens in the two weeks at peach jam then he will ever at Syracuse. Watch his sophomore year high school film.
