I’m totally on board with Kadary getting more minutes, let me say that right from the start. Joe has not been very good this year (even if I do think he gets an outsized portion of the blame for the team’s struggles so far), and if playing Kadary more and Joe less is the answer then sign me up.

But when I see references to “the JB hook” with respect to Kadary, I have to say I completely disagree that this is a thing. (It has been with other players in other years, but not now, in my opinion.) I can’t remember a single time this season that JB put Kadary in the game and then immediately pulled him after one mistake. Kadary has looked a little tentative out there in the last couple of games, but I don’t think it’s fair to pin that on JB because he’s messing with Kadary by repeatedly pulling him after every mistake. Yesterday, Kadary checked in with 14:40 to play, and SU trailing 52-48. He played the rest of the game - and definitely played through a few mistakes - yet there was no “JB hook”.

We need Kadary to play better, and we need Joe to play better. And it would be nice if Buddy found his jumper. And I would love it if Griffin would maybe cut out the horrendous turnovers, and maybe Marek could get a little bit tougher on the inside, too?
