Class of 2023 PF Tasman Goodrick (Australia) TRANSFERING TO SYRACUSE (4/8/26)

[Niastri]

Not the “sexy” pick up but the guys you need. If he stays healthy he’s definitely an upgrade over Souare. Have to think about these guys in practice too. During practice do you think Souare and his talents were helping other bigs get better everyday by going against them? No. This kid is better than Souare. He’s a big body. Not overly athletic. But he’s skilled, big, and he’s a really good rebounder. Not gonna blow you away offensively but skilled enough to get some baskets. He’s not a big time run protector but he’s big enough where you aren’t gonna back him down and he stays in front of his guy. Really his biggest asset is rebounding and he’s a plus screen setter (extremely important and underrated trait for a big man)

Riley Mulvey set very good screens in the Duke game. As a guy who got so many open shots at the basket in his three years playing with Craig Forth, it might just be something GMAC focuses on with his big men.

Good screens make offense so much easier. It was agonizing watching our lackluster screens at times.

Sometimes I wanted to scream "Just go to the corner so at least you aren't getting in the way of the ball handler!"

 

[Niastri]

The "sorry not sorry!!" ending was persuasive.

"I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over."

How about some more help from down under?

Anton Bonke is 7’2 from a small island nation east of Northern Australia.

We used to have such thin centers the opposition could easily evade any screen set.

He's really good [despite being gangly], like potentially P4 starting caliber good. Would solve a lot of problems.

Soare was pretty good defensively.

23zone - he averaged 3 blocked shots and 9 rebounds per 40 minutes. He was 3 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Will Kyle and didn't get shoved under the basket like Kyle did.

If we have someone who defends as well as Soare as our 3rd or 4th big man in the rotation next season, that will be a win.

Well, and the screener was looking to slip the screen and dive to the basket at every opportunity, it seemed.

But not so competitive vs Indiana, and not exactly dominant in their league (13-7, 3rd place). Don’t put too much weight on one game.

Siena outscored Indiana in the second half 40-35.
