Playing Freshmen Trivia

[Vshukla]

For all the discussion of Boeheim’s reluctance to play freshmen, there have been many freshmen who not only played, but played a lot and made major contributions. With that said, let’s see what names come to mind (without looking it up).

Which SU players in their freshman year:

Played in the most games?

Played the most minutes?

Had the most FG attempts?

Took the most foul shots?

Had the most points?

Had the most rebounds?

Had the most assists?

Had the most blocked shots?

Had the most steals?

Committed the most fouls?

Really going out on a limb.

Interesting fact:
Plural version (i.e., more than one) of freshman = freshmEn

 

[CuseTG2003]

I'm gonna go w/ Kadary Richmond for each and every one of those categories.

I agree with Loveshack except most blocks = Rosie and because I bellylaughed at CuseTG2003 most minutes has to be Joe Girard .

anyone younger than 25 who gets most of their su hoops history from this forum might expect all answers to be either buddy or jgiii

A couple of my thoughts on my guesses. Moten was a chucker. Etan fouled a ton and I think he played during the 6 foul years. DC played in an era when there wasn't a limit on games played like there is now. The rest I feel pretty comfortable on.

Wow this got relegated to page 4 quickly. Anyway, here are the correct answers. As many surmised, Carmelo shows up quite often:



Played in the most games? Jerami Grant with an astounding 40 GP. A deep BE tourney run and a Final Four boost his numbers.

Played the most minutes? Surprisingly it’s Oshae with over 1400. Over 38 mpg X 37 games


Had the most FG attempts? – No surprise Melo has the most FG attempts and FG made

Took the most foul shots? Again Mr. Anthony took the most free throws. Somewhat surprisingly Oshae made the most FT

Had the most points? – Melo by over 150 points with Dontae in second

Had the most rebounds? – I was a bit surprised Melo had the most rebounds. Only because I like to remember DC getting EVERY rebound

Had the most assists? – Pearl. Interestingly he only had 12 more assists than Ennis (although Ennis played 2 more games)

Had the most blocked shots? – Rosie by a significant margin

Had the most steals? – Jason Hart with a somewhat unexpected second place finish from GMac

Committed the most fouls? – DC although he only averaged just over 3 per game.
