Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4186136, member: 289"] My view from my SU Basketball Preview, posted last October: "I like our roster. I think everyone can play at this level. I don’t think that anyone is a ‘project’ - anymore. We have increased size and great depth in big men. We may finally have a true center who can dominate inside. Swider, Boeheim and Williams could be a great forward rotation while the Buddy and Joe show continues in the backcourt. Those two may not be defensive whizzes but a third year playing together should count for something. We’ve lost some good individual defensive players but the Boeheim zone is all about team defense and it plays better when we are big, which we now are at 4 positions. Symir, at the least, should make a fine third guard. There’s going to be plenty of outside shooting, although we’ve had some recent teams that thought they’d be a superior perimeter team that struggled due to the lack of an inside scoring presence. Maybe we can change that now. My main concern is depth at forward and guard. Three man rotations are great but what if we get injuries and foul trouble? Who among the centers could play forward? Who among the forwards could help out at guard? Who among the guards could help out at forward? Everybody wishes we had Kadary Richmond. I wish we had Robert Braswell or Woody Newton, as well... I think ACC basketball is going to be rather like ACC football: rather flat but competitive, with the traditional powers not at their peak and other schools having teams that will have a real chance at the title for the first time in a while, perhaps a long while. The post season will be what it always is: a spinning roulette wheel where many favorites go down but the eventual champ will be someone who has been (consistently) good all season and is (occasionally) great at the tight time. Could that be Syracuse? Stay tuned." [/QUOTE]
