Rebounding and Defense

[Day2]

Mass defections should tell you something... Look at the long term ceo . My grandfather isn’t the man he used to be either

Do you pay attention to any other programs?

Where is the backup for the 2 spot?

 

[two3zone]

Where is the backup for the 2 spot?

Starting at point guard.

This was set up by design to ensure Joe plays and there is zero controversy on who starts.

 

[721Comstock]

Where is the backup for the 2 spot?

Starting at the 1 spot.

Where is the backup for the 2 spot?

Don’t answer a question with another question and don’t ask questions you know the answers to.

I’ll rephrase my question which you didn’t answer: Does SU have the most players in the portal? Are we top five? Top ten?

Who was the back up pt guard on our national runner up team in 1987? Who was the back up pt guard on our national runner up team in 1996. We have played with basically three guards for 44 years. And it's a big deal now? Joe is solid at back up 2 guard.

Who would you expect it to be? Seth Curry?

 

[RF2044]

Right?

Agreed. Barring an injury, three is a viable backcourt rotation.

 

[GooseMutt]

With Q gone.. We have to be the softest team in the ACC. Teams are going run though us like butter

You mean we are toast?

So you think Joe is Sherm Douglas or Laz Sims good?

Backups matter when the starters aren’t studs.
You play 3 when you have studs.
If we had MCW and Triche you don’t need depth.
When you have no penetrating guards and little ball handling in guards then yeah the bench matters.

If we can get Sherman Douglas okay.
We have may played 3 guards for 44 years but we have always had depth on the bench during that time.
We didn’t just have 3 guards which we do now.

That is the issue Dash. JB isn’t building good rosters for sustained good seasons.
We are grinding every season now for 7 years and that is on the HC.

To be fair, Sims wasn’t good until his senior year and even then would have been backing up Michael Loyd.

Energy, enthusiasm and unity can make up for listlessness, apathy and selfishness.

pretty sure apathy and energy just cancel each other out.

 

[NineOneSeven]

One thing to only play 3 (which is fine), it's another to only have 3.

 

[Gotothehole]

Who would you expect it to be? Seth Curry?

Someone who can put the ball on floor and get to the hoop. . Don't we have two Curry's ?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Who would you expect it to be? Seth Curry?

Dell Curry.

 

[RF2044]

No argument there.

But if JB didn't play eventual NBA ROY MCW when he was the fourth guard, who's he going to bring in to be the 4th guy in a 3 guard rotation this offseason?

 

[721Comstock]

Dell Curry.

Sonya Curry.

(She’s the Juli Boeheim in this comparison)

No clue. It just takes a single rolled ankle for a player to miss a week though. Then what? Don’t know nearly enough about Williams. Clearly our (3) centers aren’t ball handlers. Jimmy and Swider don’t have the versatility that Marek had, to my knowledge. Even last year, there was opportunity to move Woody or Griffin up top, if circumstances called for it (rarely done, but as a break glass option, we had it). Maybe Owens? It’s one thing to play (3) guards, it’s another thing to only have (3) guards, and it’s another thing to only have (3) guards and limited flexibility at the forward spot.

I think Jimmy can handle it. Don't think he's the passer Marek is.

Silly. Just what I would expect.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

I think people are underestimating JB Jr and Swider.

 

[two3zone]

Someone like a Joe Girard.

I've posted recently about the need to have four guards if for no other reason than to make practices more competitive [being able to split them, and have guards scrimmage against legit scholarship guards]. Not sure why you're "arguing" at me about this -- would love to see them add one, but I don't know who they'd legitimately be able to get, or of what caliber.

No argument at all. Simple points made that happen to be included in an original reply to your post.
