Well okay that makes sense.well...in order to justify playing the starters a lot of minutes there couldnt be good bench options...so there arent any.

Jesse is a nice player but our success shouldnt hinge on him.
Jimmy was never a great 3pt shooter so that wasn’t the expectation when he came here, and at least he’s scoring other ways. Agree on Cole - if he plays well tonight we win, and he was bad5-23 from three, and the looks were not good. Last game we got beat by 11 3's made. Guerrier > Jim/Cole from three so far.
It's amazing to think about the difference in the way today's guards play the zone compared to the Rautins, and Triche, and MCWs of the past. JB has the forwards playing so far up that the guards really only cover about half of the area that the greats of the past had to guard. Yet they still give up dribble and passing penetration, as well as open shots. And the forwards being so far out means Jesse is literally on an island, and he also has to cover the corners. Oh how I long for actual athletes to play guard at SU again.It only hinges on him because we have no other real D-1 option at center currently. And our guards are doing their part to make sure he's planted on the bench.
I suspect teams will press us all year, even if they aren’t typically pressing teams. It totally throws off any sort of rhythm on offenseSymir Torrence is the only player with a positive plus minus in VCU game.
As bad as he is at scoring, He needs to be the starting PG.
JG3 had the worst plus minus of all Syracuse players.
Vs any team that pressures like VCU/Houston...JG3 cannot be the PG.

Weird. Wasnt mentioned in JBs presser.JG3 had the worst plus minus of all Syracuse players.
Could be a doghouse. Too soon to tell.Weird. Wasnt mentioned in JBs presser.
Just listened to most of it...
His first long mention about a PG on the team was the following commentary:
"One thing I told him was that you can't drive and lay it up on these guys and the first play he tried to shoot a layup and two guys blocked it. I mean...you got to be smarter than that as a point guard and he's got to be able to take the ball and beat the pressure...he didnt do that"
This was about Symir, by the way.
I think JB wants to play JoeCould be a doghouse. Too soon to tell.
The doghouse was built immediately after he accepted the offer.Could be a doghouse. Too soon to tell.

It’s not coaching or adjustments. It’s team composition.I never say this, but the sky is falling on this program. This team had really high expectations. These two performances show absolutely zero adjustments and the worst coaching I have seen from JB ever. Yet he will blame the players and not take accountability. Boy oh boy what the
With the knowledge you have of the team...the composition was by choice or did we just not get the guys we wanted?It’s not coaching or adjustments. It’s team composition.
There are no levers to pull.
Obviously the season is not over yet, but of course it was by choice. JB constructed this team, and he, like a lot of others thinks they’ll be good…eventually.With the knowledge you have of the team...the composition was by choice or did we just not get the guys we wanted?
