Easy answer: there is no one else better to replace them with. this team as currently constructed has serious limitations. I am hoping Westry gets healthy enough to play and that he can be a fraction of the player he was predicted to be. he could be our point guard substitute.There’s not a single reporter that has balls enough to ask why Bell and Carlos are getting the minutes they are getting
Well there is since Taylor played over Carlos for much of the second half. Freeman could have played over Bell, assuming he was healthy.Easy answer: there is no one else better to replace them with. this team as currently constructed has serious limitations.

He has a radio show. Call in and ask him. You see, that is your question. Not a bad one either. But these reporters get one question. And they have a different question they want to ask. I didn't hear a bad question. Balls has nothing to do with it. They aren't afraid that Red is going to hit them or yell at them. At least Red didn't blame the fans tonight.There’s not a single reporter that has balls enough to ask why Bell and Carlos are getting the minutes they are getting
Not true. Have you watched the first 4 games? If you have, you can say that Carlos is better for us than Moore or Taylor? They play the 2 and JJ slides to the 1.Easy answer: there is no one else better to replace them with. this team as currently constructed has serious limitations.

True but Taylor didn't seem to actively harm the team. Carlos and Bell did.Taylor basically had zeros across the board in 19 minutes, that’s bad. And it’s criminal that Freeman only played 15 minutes

Taylor played very good defense tonight. Besides JJ, we have to have another guard out there.Bell wasn’t good and neither was Taylor.
Davis has proven himself imo, he, Freeman and Lampkin should be on the floor. Figure out the guards.
Freeman getting pulled after shooting a 3, but yet Bell who isn’t doing crap gets a pass. I don’t understand that.Taylor basically had zeros across the board in 19 minutes, that’s bad. And it’s criminal that Freeman only played 15 minutes
Possibly injury related? His fingers were taped in his right hand.Freeman getting pulled after shooting a 3, but yet Bell who isn’t doing crap gets a pass. I don’t understand that.
I hope there is a "good" reason like that and if so that he recovers quickly. Otherwise, it looks like Red is facing a very steep learning curve, and HC of Syracuse basketball should not be a learn-on-the-job position. JB did it, but if he accomplished anything, it's delivering the program to another level where that shouldn't be necessary.Possibly injury related? His fingers were taped in his right hand.
The fact that he did not play a second until the end on a defensive play makes that seem likelyPossibly injury related? His fingers were taped in his right hand.

Yes. Putting Carlos back in was a mistake. Why change the momentum of the guys doing it?The majority of the minutes in the second half should have been JJ-Taylor-Freeman-Davis-Lampkin and we would have won the game.
Other reason could be defense. We also made our big comeback with him off the court. Honestly was fine with Davis out there aside from the damn foul shooting. He is quality on the boards and solid overall on defenseThat was a repeat of the previous game no mention of injury in that game.
If you watched the game, you would understand that Taylor was the reason Johnson went 4/18, he played his role to perfection; we dont need him taking many shots. Also, Jyare was clearly so much more valuable in a game where every possession matters so much. Donnie isnt ready for that YET and thats okay because we recurited experience behind him.Taylor basically had zeros across the board in 19 minutes, that’s bad.

We did go once and he was point blank and got blocked.We got back in the game when Lampkin took charge in the paint. He was damn near unstoppable. We stopped him by not giving him the ball. As soon as we tied the game we stopped going to Lampkin. Why?
What I don't get is, he has no problem with playing these defensive zeros 30+ minutes over the past two years, and then out most talented players with the most athletic size is planted. It makes no sense, Donnie can't be happy, especially after seeing Bell play the way he does. It's beyond awful.Taylor basically had zeros across the board in 19 minutes, that’s bad.
