This is Axe trying to stay in JB’s good graces.
Buddy is a number 2 or 3 option on a good team.
Usage inflates his numbers.
Honestly, I think people are being kind when they put it this way.
I try to stay away from making too many observations because I just don't watch enough basketball to comment knowledgeably.
But in a lot of ways Boeheim's the same player he's always been. Good shooter if his feet are set. Decidedly not if he's on the move. Nice enough midrange game, but a total black hole. And a total matador defender.
I can't remember too many Syracuse teams where a kid like that would be even a 3rd option. More like an end of rotation guy. But when he's able to get up a big volume of shots, he can get a point per shot.
