I disagree.  [I]Jalen's [/I]play has been to the detriment of Jaylen - HE is the reason he isn't playing, not Buddy.  Buddy is only seeing all these minutes because Jalen has been so bad at PG, and Frank has been so inconsistent.

Jalen played double-digit minutes in 12 of the first 16 games of the season.

Buddy only played double-digit minutes in 7 of those games.

In the 17th game of the season (Duke), Jalen had 3 turnovers in 7 minutes and hasn't played as much since.

In the 9 games since Duke, Buddy has played double-digit minutes 8 times.
In those 9 games, Buddy is averaging 9.4 points in 18.4 minutes per game.

He is shooting 29-46 from three.
That is SIXTY-THREE PERCENT, folks.

Too bad for Frank.  Too bad for Jalen.
Good for Syracuse.

If Jalen and Frank played better, or at least more consistently, then we probably would never have had the Tyus at PG experiment (after it went so poorly in the early season), and Buddy wouldn't be seeing all this playing time.
