Girard is ACC caliber.

But he is a poor fit in the Syracuse 2-3 zone, especially as Buddy's partner.  either one of them would be better with an uber athletic defensive wizard like kadary...the zone is better with 5 KR-type players...it requires them, basically.

Girards a minus defender bc of size/speed...and cannot drive the ball in the lane for the same reasons.  But he has a lot of good aspects to his game too.

i look at it like this...

Imagine you are somehow dating your [I]dream girl.  [/I]

For the first year everything goes perfect...you are her only man. Both of you are happy and exceeding each others expectations.

Then all of a sudden she starts wanting an open relationship...she doesnt wanna end it with you just wants more.  and her new guy seems to be taking up more and more of her time...

you guys still hang out and when you do it feels great...things go well...but she doesnt spend as much time with you as before and you know she isnt really "yours"...what do you do? how do you take it?

now imagine you are JG3...and your "girl" is your starting spot on the SU basketball team...

the human side of this has to be really tough for him.  I know competition is brutal and not always fair etc...but he had to think he was locked in as a 4 year starter after his first year...this is tough...and I feel for him if he is taking it hard...

his play hasnt been as good this year...not sure if it is bc of covid (likely) or anything mental etc...but at the end of the day...i would keep him around but not as the starter (especially in the 2-3 zone - which isnt going anywhere...)...if he's willing to accept that awesome...but i would totally understand if he wanted to go somewhere and be "the man"
