Judah seems like the perfect example of a Boeheim style player who doesn't fit whatever we're trying to do now. Feels like he'd be a lot better (aka less bad defensively) in a zone, and is mostly just getting steals by cheating and thus getting beat too much. He needs the ball in his hands offensively, which is not ideal if we're actually running an offense but perfect for the iso ball we're hopefully transitioning away from.

The problem is we're lacking the complement we would need to really let him shine - a lights out 3 point shooter. Otherwise there's the offensive possession where Judah does everything, the one where we miss a decent look at 3, or the one where we run offense which doesn't do much for Judah.

Unfortunately it's kind of a wrong place wrong time situation imo. I can imagine pairing Judah up with Buddy and Girard on that team that made a run, or putting him on the Final Four team when Gbinije had to run the point with Malachi and Lydon being dangerous from the outside, and he would have been a key piece.

We either needed Bell and JT to knock down their share of open looks to make the offense run effectively through Judah, or to be a lot better defensively than we are. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked out.
