Jim Boeheim's rotation and recruiting guards since 2013 has hurt Trevor Cooney more than anything. Cooney should not have been a 3 year starter with these high MPG.

It is that simple. I defended the crap out of him 4 years ago in 2013 by saying he would only get better and by his Senior year would be huge. I was wrong he was a finished product his Sophomore year.  That is the biggest problem for the kid.  I won't lie the slump in 2014 when we had a shot for MSG and a NC really hurt his career. That slump really hurt the team on offense and JB did not give Gbinije enough minutes to fill those minutes. Cooney kept playing when he was in a deep slump.

This year he has matured and is not taking as many shots. With that said our "2 guard" should be contributing more. Malachi Richardson is a better a "2 guard" option but we have our Small Forward playing point guard because Joseph has regressed and Howard can't score.
I would love to see this lineup a little more 3 MPG
PG-Howard
SG/SF- Gbinije/Richardson
PF- Roberson
C-Lydon/Coleman
but JB plays Cooney 35-37 MPG and it makes no sense. He is fine defender but not elite and his side is attacked more than the other guards up top.

He has been a role player who has played the minutes of a Superstar. Sorry it is just that simple. He scored over 1000 points for his career so his career was an undisputed decent career.
