Very true but I’m gonna assume if a coach who has been here 45 years and has never had a losing season wants a player he’s a pretty good player who fits in. While there is certain cases that doesn’t work I’m not gonna trust what a fan says off of a knee jerk reaction to player leaving there program.
Never said he couldn't fit in, and neither did any of the Villanova forum posts. I imagine it's just as us losing Braswell, people are giving fair assessments of what we are losing, nothing knee jerk about it.
Exactly...Kadary is very good...but off the top of my head...I don’t take him over MCW, Dion, Ennis, Battle, Silent G, maybe not even Triche just yet.
Torn hip labrum. Surgeon said most high level athletes have it, but it becomes a matter of degree. (Soccer & FB, especially O-line.) It doesn’t bother most, but when it does, it becomes pain tolerance issue. For keepers, the explosive moves and diving can really be impacted.
Oh wow this may be the dumbest post i’ve seen
Yeah exactly.. kadary had potential to be in the group but in no way was his freshman year comparable to Ennis. That’s no shot at kadary but he’s not a top 10 Syracuse guard in the last ten years.
Edwards is mobile and can run. My view on athletic guys is a combo of speed, jumping ability, strength, quickness. Certainly a center can be great without be super athletic (Rick Jackson, Otis Hill, Arinze)... Not saying Edwards is not athletic but mixed with the suggested lineup he would not move the bar. Benny Williams is going to be super athletic, Woody seems super athletic, Kadary was super athletic. My main point is we need more athletes like Houston, Michigan, Oregon. IMO it gives you the best chance to win. I like Edwards and think he will be better every year was not the intent of my point.
People are offended by facts these days
Yup easily the best pg.
IMO Griffen should have been at the top of the zone. Having a 6’5” guy down low does not work. Maybe he would have been as bad up top. Maybe just not a fit and better in a up tempo fast paced system.
Certainly the zone would help him as he cant play straight up man.
He already showed he’s a better playmaker than battle, silent g and triche. So yes hes one of the best in the last ten years easily.
Joe and Buddy combined for 72 steals this year. Edwards had 8 in 160 minutes (2 per 40)
Agreed, but to be fair, Kadary is probably the best guard we've had since Silent G imo. When you take into consideration his playmaking, and prime athleticism and length in the zone he just is. He was crazy underutilized. His per 40 stats are that of a big time NBA prospect.
He’s a better facilitator than mcw. And on par with ennis. But both mcw and ennis were better scorers .
Kadary is definitely in the discussion. He has a seat at the table of the best pgs. If he stayed and kept developing he could of been top 5-10 pgs ever at Syracuse by the time he graduated.
You still prefer jimmy lol
He is not better than Tyus Battle
I think they both have things they bring to the table but like you and others have said, its hard to pass on a guy his size that shoots 40% and can put the ball on the floor. Im not going to beat a dead horse here but ill just say it one time...IF we had Kadary at the 1 along with Buddy/Benny/Jesse all on the floor then I woulda been ecstatic with the idea of bringing in Cole from the get go. I don't like the idea of having multiple liabilities on the floor at the same time defensively and Kadary is a Athlete to pair with Benny. Thats not a possibility now so it is what it is and I just hope we don't suffer from a defensive standpoint. I know I wouldn't want to get in a shootout though with Buddy/JG3/Cole all on the floor. Could be lights out in a hurry. He definitely suprised me though after watching tape at how well he put it on the deck and moves with the ball as well as spotting up. Kids rock solid and ill be happy if we get him!
