Preseason Practice...

[Tony DeFranco]

Man……Joe’s not better than GMac. Eric. Jonny. And I’m solely talking about scoring. We’re in for an awful long year if we’re expecting him to be our Steph Curry….who is the Warriors PG. Joe is more Klay than Steph, if he’s playing to his strengths.

Could not agree more but can you edit that part about Joe being anything like Klay - I would say Joe is more like me than he is like Klay

I will edit when you apologize for your Carmelo takes.

Yes, I’m petty.

I once played in a pickup game with him when I was a student. I was not covering him, which was good because it would have destroyed my self-esteem for life. He was only an inch taller than me but wow. Just wow. He was hitting shots from the quad, from Cortland, from Binghamton...

It was one thing for me to watch him from the stands in Manley but to see it up close and personal was mind-blowing.

For my money, the greatest shooter in SU history and I have a feeling my buddy Bees will agree with me.

Best shooter I ever saw and I saw pretty much all his games.

I’m betting they don’t realize Joe isn’t playing PG anymore?

I love Carmello - all I ever said is that his pro career was somewhat meaningless - by that, I'm comparing it to what he achieved for us - and by meaningless - I meant that he never was a factor is winning a title - no team ever said if we get Carmello we will get a title - he had a great NBA career and is a HOF player

By “they”, you mean one college kid from Iowa.

That’s who this site is...I’m not sure why it’s linked all the time here. Props to him for getting noticed though

What? Lol. If he went to the Bulls after the first Knick contract(which was possible), they without a doubt win a title. And LITERALLY EVERY NBA TEAM would have said if we get prime Carmelo we win a title. You’re just justifying your “meaningless” comments. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re in the wrong forum with these takes. We understand basketball in here and how good Melo was IN THE NBA.

Don't waste your time. A simple stupid gif is all that's needed.

I believe he is the best pure shooter to wear orange. Kid not only had range but his pull up was insane. Full speed , stopped on a dime and straight up like a feather. Super quick release. Beautiful to watch.

Top 10 all-time nba scoring list is “meaningless”, because he never won a ring? Seriously?

I will feel very smart if Carey gets real burn this season. Will have to pull up some of my posts predicting it. Lol

I love Carey’s upside. Plus athleticism and seems like he has a good feel for the game. I believe he’s going to be great for us eventually. I just wonder if he’ll be ready his freshman year to contribute in a serious way. Big guys usually take awhile to adjust. Maybe he’ll start to put it together towards the end of the year like Marek did as a freshman.

Sy seems to think he’ll earn some minutes this year.

The big thing I see in the clips like Bees mentioned is how active he was. That is certainly something as a big that will get you on the floor sooner. Now he has to be active with a purpose vs running around like Bol tends to do but seems maybe he has a shot.

Carey has three qualities Height,Hops and Hustle. Important to becoming a good player. Stay tuned.
