Start Benny tonight. Turn him lose for 35 minutes. Easy double double.

[Manleymen]

And no benching because he breathed on somebody.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I’d be surprised if he has the stamina for that.

 

[sufandu]

I don't know about a double double, but I'd be fine wirh him starting. At this point, play the guys that have a chance to develop and help us next year.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I mean we know this isn't happening

 

[Owens guy]

Everyone assumed Frank would average 15 boards a game after the VT game and we know that hasn't happened.

I agree to play Benny more but don't expend him to suddenly turn into a star by getting more playing time.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

He did play 30 last game which no one had on the bingo board. I don't care what Boeheim does as long as the team doesn't start out laying eggs again. It's never a fun thing when the tradition of standing for the first basket extends through the first media timeout. Whatever Benny does tonight, I just hope he can put a second straight positive game together. He did 14/6 when no one expected it. Can he do it when all of a sudden, he is on the other team's radar?

 

[Cusefan0307]

He needs extended time the rest of these games just to see if he's part of the solution next year. If he is then great, but if he is not we need to get a transfer forward. We won't know any of this unless he plays.

Yes give him major minutes. We have nothing at stake

 

[UpstateSM]

He only played so much Saturday because JB was saving Jimmy from 40 minutes of embarrassment. Would be shocking, imo, if Benny played more than 10 minutes tonight if it wasn’t a blowout.

 

[Grbac]

Wishful thinking. He’s going to ride the season out with his boys.
Frank Benny and Ajok will be watching from the sideline after getting scolded for missing an assignment.

 

[Owens guy]

Ummm

I was exaggerating with 'everyone' but after the VT game posters were basically accusing JB of holding back the next Dennis Rodman.

This is where I am at. He will be back to his go into the first half until he makes a mistake and then he will sit the entire second half if it is a close game.

Will be interesting to see what happens if Joe or Buddy get in foul trouble. What happens? Do they rotate up Cole and play Benny?

Fact. Barring Jimmy or Cole getting hurt, JB is never sitting a healthy one of them for more than 15 mins in a game unless we're being embarrassed to a similar extent as Saturday.

Until Saturday, Benny has limited his own playing time. Now, I bet he has increased it.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

He needs 20 minutes a game at least in the last three games. Cole and Jimmy should each sit for five minutes a half. Benny has been awful most of the season but at this point who cares. Have to build confidence so A he comes back and B he will have positive motivation and thoughts for next year.

To see if he’s part of the solution? We’re lucky if he still wants to be part of the solution.

Agree here. JB may go out of his way to make sure that performance isn’t duplicated in order to have a presser where he can say, “…see, I told you guy’s Benny isn’t ready!”

The blowout is possible, again.

I’m not sure if “lucky” is the right word. We have not seen enough. One game doesn’t prove anything.

In this case, with our personnel of late, it proves the world.

That play early in the 1st half where Jimmy tried his old man moves into the paint and Mark Williams jumped (and had his head at or above the rim) and swatted Jimmy's attempt like he was an 8th grader.

 

[Cuse181]

Yup, he’s a terrible coach who only looks to embarrass his players.

Solid analysis.

Off topic, but I’ll never understand why the announcer was losing his s^^^ over mark williams improvement this year, he’s pretending like the guy wasn’t a top 25 recruit lol if anything he was playing up to his potential as opposed to outperforming.
