Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 3429516, member: 716"] Agreed; my only "2009 players against Butler" what-if scenario involves Harris - he's the player who would've matched up well against Butler in 2010 with AO out. Not Devendorf. Not Flynn, who often struggled against physical teams and got caught up in trying to go one-on-one too much. But Harris could've filled in for Joseph, who was ineffective, both by pulling another defender toward the perimeter to help free up driving lanes and by presenting another low-post scoring threat (which Wes Johnson most certainly was not that night). Not that they'd have become a 30-4 team with Harris or anyone else on it, though. Boeheim got the group to thrive because those three characters moved on, not in spite of that loss of talent. [/QUOTE]
