I probably do that for half our players. In McCorkle's defense, he not only played with stars and couldn't jump them for playing time, but I think he hurt himself pretty badly midway through his career and missed a couple months, fell on a dunk attempt or something like that. (I remember this was the last injury before our decade-long run of great luck with injuries). Kind of derailed his development. Didn't help that he was a tweener.

These days he'd be an obvious off-guard for Boeheim's defense-first system. I wasn't just being obnoxious with the Cooney mention (though there was definitely a bit of that in there, too). I thought he was a McCorkle-type coming in - big and athletic with a shooting touch. Those things were true, but McCorkle's got a smoother style to his play, both in my memory and in this old game on the website. Happily (or not, depending on your tastes), Cooney doesn't share McCorkle's penchant for screaming profanities at Boeheim and getting random technical fouls.
