Thought he was a ball stopper and we looked the worst with him on the court. I’m struggling to see his role right now in a perimeter based offense.
This is coaching though. All the greats in college conform players to their system, offense and defense.Is Red going to reel Benny in and tell him how he needs to play? Based on watching all sorts of bad shots, it seems like Red doesn't want to limit players like JB did. Good for recruiting and retaining players, could be bad for winning games.
His body of work has been on display for two years. He is who he is at this point.If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Benny has shown what he is. We just need to see it without Orange tinted glasses.
How did Syracuse forward Benny Williams in his return following a 2-game suspsension?
Is this a complete sentence?
What is suspsension?
Not from Newhouse?
Agree.It’s his first regular season game of the season when everyone else on the floor had a game or two under their belt. I would give him a few games to get it going again.
Stretch 4s can shoot at a respectable clip hence the stretch term. I haven't seen that from him.Give him time - no live reps against outside competition in the system yet. There’s talent on this team but not so much that there’s no role for Benny. We’re going to need him as the season goes on and hopefully he realizes his best role is a stretch 4 that can make an open shot and gets aggressive on the glass.

48 attempts over 30+ games doesn't qualify anyone to be a stretch shooter. There's not enough of a sample size for it. In this era especially, that's low volume.So, you just ignored Benny all season last year?
He hit just shy of 40% from 3 - 19/48.
Taylor was 24/61 39.4%
Bell was 39/113 for 34.5%
I am beginning to wonder about Bennies role on any team.Benny looked completely lost and like he slowed the team down. I hope that changes but I have a feeling he doesn't have much of a role on a team like this
Man I called Benny playing at the 5 like years ago.Just leave 10% possibility for Benny stretch 5.
The bottom line with Benny is that he just doesn’t play very hard. If he’s not making shots he’s totally disengaged. He’s as soft as butter and won’t mix it up. He only goes to the offensive boards if someone is constantly screaming at him to go get the rebound. His energy level picks up when he scores, but that makes him useless if he’s not making shots. This is nothing personal against the kid, but this is his third year and he still plays the same. I would love to see a light come on, but I’m not holding my breath. Bottom line is you can’t count on him. A coach has a hard time playing someone when you never know what you’re going to get. JB gave him chance after chance and we only got glimpses of a real player. Maybe he’s just out of sink, but I doubt it.
He's got Quincy Guerrier disease, thinks his path to NBA is on the perimeter jacking 3s. Both need to.plant themselves near basket and mix it up and rebound and score on putbacks and inside moves near basket. Neither are sniffing the NBA playing on the perimeter. Their only paths are as inside specialist role players.We will need his rebounding. Needs to play in the paint otherwise we’re better off playing Taylor or Cope
No no no no no, whatever Quincy’s role was here he played it, never did I question his effort, not once. These two aren’t in the same stratosphere.He's got Quincy Guerrier disease, thinks his path to NBA is on the perimeter jacking 3s.

that is true, he transferred so he could go to Oregon and jack 3s. Boeheim wouldn't let him do that here, JB told him he was an inside player, so Q said goodbye and now in his 5th year in collegeNo no no no no, whatever Quincy’s role was here he played it, never did I question his effort, not once. These two aren’t in the same stratosphere.
