Rothstein is in town…

[dasher]

Everyone realizes he will still play 30 minutes a game right?

How many minuets do Cole and Jimmy Jr play?

 

[jdubs30]

1) Symir will get all the minutes behind JG
2) Buddy will never come out (but if he does it’s JG)
3/4) 80 minutes between Swider, Jimmy, Benny
5) Jimmy may play here at times

None of Benny/Jimmy/Cole will be Woody’d

2 will play 30, 1 will play 20

2 will play 30, 1 will play 20

Sid and Edwards are not getting all the minutes at center if healthy. JB can't help himself. There will be foul trouble and he will want to play a lot of small ball. Cole, Jimmy, and Benny probably all end up on the court at least 10 minutes every game.

I think you’re right. In JBs mind it’ll come down to if he wants to play Sid/Frank or Benny. Because when you slide Jimmy yo the 5, Benny is probably in

Id like to see Benny start.

I think Jimmy Boehiems experience off the bench is something we need in our 2nd unit. Our starters have plenty of experience... we could balence the lineups a bit by bringing Jimmy off the bench

 

[Bulldog04]

Benny 6th man...

It’s amazing that people ever thought he was going to start. Boeheim rarely does that. Jimmy didn’t come here to sit the bench

 

[81South]

If Benny doesnt start then I have to believe other schools will be in his ear about hitting the portal early and going where he is ‘appreciated’. This will be the sales pitch.

Hope I am wrong on this but high profile freshman come in and expect to start from day 1.

Anyways I am counting down the days to game 1.

Benny was a 5 star rated across the board as a Top 30 talent…..we shouldn’t expect that sort of talent to start day 1? How is that an ‘amazing’ thought?

Benny would leave after the season when he would be the presumptive starter next year with Junior matriculated? Or are you suggesting he would be lured toward leaving mid-year? How does the portal work with that?

I'm not surprised Jimmy is expected to start. He's a pretty good player already. But, i have no idea what Benny is like at this level. We should assume there's still some learning to do. I just hope he's getting a fair shot, and more importantly that he believes he is. And then that he gets sufficient minutes to make his case during the season and to keep him content.

JB doesn’t sub like that, it won’t matter. The only bench guys that will play (Benny, Symir, Sidbe/JBA) will almost always be in the game with JG, Buddy, etc

Unless I misunderstood the new transfer rules announced last spring then any player can transfer once and play immediately. If I am wrong I apologize but I believe this is the new reality we live in.

I'm not palpating him...you palpate him!

 

[UpstateSM]

JB has broken some of our fanbase haha Benny is our best recruit in a long time he isn’t playing 15 minutes even if he doesn’t start. Don’t preemptively get mad at things I’m sure we’ll have plenty to bish about when the season starts.

No he can't play for two different schools in the same season. This is a subscriber article but it talks about it as it relates to Taj Harris on the football side.

An NCAA spokesperson said the organization’s rules do not allow players to compete for two schools in the same competitive season even under the new “immediate eligibility” rules.

With NCAA’s new immediate eligibility rules for transfers, could Taj Harris play for another team this year?

College sports have entered a new era of athlete-friendly rules. Just how friendly are they?

That would be an unbelievably unathletic starting 5, outside of Jesse.

Thanks and that makes me a little less nervous.

I have no doubt jimmy will play the five to some extent I’m not worried about minutes for Benny he will get his

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Jimmy didn’t come here to sit the bench

This statement and "Cole Swider didn't come here to sit the bench" blow my mind.

I just... I don't feel very good now.

 

[SoBristol]

Does Benny play the high post and distribute? Because that is likely to be Jimmy’s role, and something we need to supplement Girard’s ball handling. Something Dolezaj gave us last season.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Not Rothstein but this is going on live right now with JB for those wanting to listen

You should feel good. We have a good team.

I want to believe.
