Serious Question..just wondering,thoughts...?

[Idiocuse22&]

If we had Judah Mintz on our team this season plus the same roster, how many games do you think we could/would have won?
I realize its a poopoo platter question but I am going out on a limb and am gonna say 24 wins.
And a proper crab rangoon is where its at.

A simple request...before you see 24 wins and say no way! Browse thru the results of our games. Think of last year.
Judah was the guy. Judah was the 1 piece we were missing this year. Talent wise what did we lose from last year and what did we gain?

Put JC on last years team instead of JM...pardon me but they dont win 10 games.

Eddie Lampkin and Judah Mintz on the same team would be very interesting.

I disagree with 24. But without looking at the schedule and scores again I think they could have had approximately 5 more, for another empty meaningless 19-20 win season. The defense and shooting would still be horrible.

How can you title your post “serious question” but then have your question framed around hypothetical scenarios about past players that didn’t occur and are impossible to answer leaving it only to random speculation that has no influence or ability to change the future success of Syracuse basketball?

The team might have won 24 games with Carmelo Anthony.

Yeah, I think 5 games is about right.

Maybe 3 more. We still would have stunk.

Yeah Judah wasn’t fixing the shooting or defense issues.

SURELY YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS
are you grandpa Mintz?

Bears vs Mini Ditka, who you got?

No way to know for sure, but BPM thinks replacing Carlos with Mintz would have meant 5 points per 100 possessions. But look at how much less efficient Starling was when he has to be a primary ball handler. Look at Bell’s catastrophic drop off year over year.

Maybe, in addition to his own addition, Mintz has a cascading effect, improving both those players.

Adding in the extra 10 free throws per 100 possessions Mintz would add, and the additional foul trouble opposing big men would have been in constantly…. I think you can safely say we win a lot more games. To go from 14 wins to 24 seems like a stretch.

Unless Mintz could keep Freeman and McLeod from breaking their feet? Then the skies the limit!

Given good health Lampkin, McLeod, Freeman, Davis, 23-24 Bell, Starling, Mintz, Carlos/Cuffe seems like a team that could have made the NCAA Tournament.

Then again, I virtually have banners printed for seasons where Onuaku and Fab Melo don’t miss the Tournament, so what do I know?

Eddie would have had far fewer touches.
