Interesting. Actually it is even though body type wise you wouldn't go there initially. CP3 was a picky 3pt shooter who was high 40s pct wise but didn't take that many per game. Like Paul a mid range sniper and has an uncanny feel of finding an opening for his own shot but also didn't need to force the issue either.

CP3 played way more physically.

I would say Mintz is much closer to Steve Nash at the same age. Nash the better overall passer (not great early on, though) but both with the ability to draw the extra defender(s) and make the right passes. Both good three point shooters, though Nash probably put up more volume from distance. Mintz a much better defender and better finisher closer to the rim.

In the NBA yes. In college he used pace, angles and composure on the ball. For sure he was a stronger guard but his keys to success had more to do with the prior.

And the spin moves are all CP3!
 
Anybody know if Mintz playing in Jordan brand classic or any all star games for any of our guys?
 
I’m seeing Mintz as similar to Immanuel Quickley. Comparable size and frame, midrange scorer with range, not a pure pass-first PG but a lead guard. Hope to see a career path like Quickley’s at Kentucky - solid freshman year, becomes a star when he’s the face of the team as a sophomore. Love his personality - fingers crossed he’s the real thing.

Glad to see Syracuse fans are keeping their expectations calibrated to only CP3 and Monta comps. I was concerned we would start comparing to prime Allen Iverson or something. No pressure for Judah. We should win 30 games easy!

Find me 10 posts claiming we even do better than just making the tournament.

Not one person is saying he is either. Just that his game reflects on them as a comparison...

Goofy post. No one said that but it’s natural to watch a player and think about who they have patterned their game after. For example, nearly every move Kobe ever did was a complete clone of Jordan so it’s natural to say “Kobe reminds me of Jordan”. It doesn’t mean he is MJ or as great as MJ or will win championships like MJ. This isn’t rocket science people.

Zoo just having some fun. Syracuse fans tend to lean a bit over their skies when it comes to freshman and expectations. I am just from the camp of hey we seemingly brought in a pretty good player, let's see what he does. Give the young guy a chance first so to speak.

The highs and lows of recruiting. I spent the last year fretting over Dior, Chance, JJ, Zion and Kamari. Then we end up with Judah and he is ranked higher than all of them except the local guy JJ. But I will hate having to play against JJ and Kamari. That will be a double kick in the arse.

Mintz fits our roster better than JJ IMO. I think this worked out well for us and I really don’t think JJ is much better or better at all than Mintz.

That’s probably true of all fans at all schools. At the same time, no one here seems to be over the top about any of the other freshmen, and yet I can almost assure you that at least one of them will surprise people. It’s how it always works.

Fans here also never really expect players to improve - yet most do. Benny seems to be the one player this year that fans expect to improve.

Agreed. We had a few who actually thought it best for Benny to leave after his tough first year but I think he showed allot of character sticking around and I think it's fair to believe he will definitely perform better next season. He will find his place in the team and if he knows Judah and has played with him that familiarity could benefit his game.
 
If it seems like every PG is a combo-guard - that’s because there are way less true PG out there. The NBA values combo guards over PG. It’s been a trend.

Young players idolize young NBA players. And scoring is 1st priority. That doesn’t mean they can’t pass or become better PG in a classic sense. It’s just under developed.

That’s all to say - combo guard isn’t a dirty word. This kid has some natural PG tendencies. Joe spent 3 years out of position but has gained PG tendencies. Between the two combo guards - we’ll get what we need from both guard spots. And I’d expect Mintz to have the ball more.
