I was thinking the same thing - Bing on the same level as GMAC and Buddy is comedy enough but then add Scoop...egads

I’ll reverse that -
Adding Buddy to a line that has GMAC & Scoop on it is - egads.

Scoop is quietly one of our very best PG’s, ever.
In spite of not playing much as a Frosh, and being 6th man (of the year!!) as a Soph, he’s 6th all-time in assists at Cuse.
SECOND all-time in steals!!
He’s also at #41 in the top 100 for career scoring.
It wasn’t an accident or coincidence that he was an integral part of our two very best TEAMS ever -
2010 & 2012.

Buddy = Matt Roe w the greenest light ever.
Buddy was a volume shooter & scorer on our worst teams in history.

There’s not room on the top line, but;
Bing is a $5 player.
Period. Full stop.

And I know it’s “recency” bias, but -
He was waaaaay better than Moten.
With only 3 years to play varsity ball in college, and no 3pt line.

So worst case - he’s a $4 player here.

Given that Rak is the only true C on the entire list
(Yeah, you could certainly play DC there),
you’re kinda forced to chose him as a bargain, or go big w DC, and then fill in around them.

So…

DC (at the 4)
Sherm
Bing
Rak
Eli

But honestly, you could swap DC for Melo OR Billy and still have a kickass squad, because Sherm would get whomever it was the ball.

And both of those guys were big enough and boarded well, so they could play college PF easily.
 
Sherm and the Wings.

Melo at the 5 is…. a choice.

Guess that makes either Eli or Bing your PF?

It's called personal choice, man. Who am I to tell a butterfly he can't swim? If you believe it, you can achieve it.

This is a good breakdown.

I'd like to go Melo/DC/Sherm/Hughes and take my chances with a walkon. But to actually play the game, I'll take:

Melo/DC/Scoop/Brissett/Hughes
 
The best player in SU history 3. Without Dave Bing you don't have JB or any of the rest.


Always wonder how guys of different generations would stack up against each other or how someone's performance/level of success might have changed in a different generation?
 
Bing
Waiters
Hughes
Melo
Wallace

This is college basketball. We got 5 scorers on the court and we are going to play 2-3 coached by JAB. Who is going to guard these dudes.
