Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1552253, member: 1674"] My thoughts on Cooney have largely remained consistent: - He's a streaky shooter that always leaves me expecting him to turn the corner but ending up disappointed. - He's a good defender out of the zone. He's both disruptive and disciplined in his rotation, which is a pretty tricky balance to maintain. He's not a defensive god the way that MCW was for example, but he's a valuable piece of the zone. - Even when his shot isn't falling, the attention that defenses give him takes attention away from his teammates. - His constant movement is basically the only movement that exists in the Syracuse offense; without him, things tend to become constant isolations/pick and rolls, or in the case of last year, Christmas post-ups. I think he deserves minutes even when his shot isn't falling for the reasons listed above (unless our younger guards begin to be able to do these things better than Cooney currently does). [/QUOTE]
