Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1978103, member: 716"] It's amusing how different players are labeled based on perception (don't mean to single you out - I bet the majority of the board agrees with your characterization). I consider this splitting hairs; fact is, as far as point guards go, all three weren't good enough (Ennis's draft position and Gbinije's popularity notwithstanding). Our subpar guard play has been the single biggest contributing factor to poor half-court offensive play in the last four years, no doubt about it. The Boeheim offense is a separate matter, though, and it's highlighted when we don't have great guards. When we do, we shine; it doesn't matter what Boeheim draws up if Sherman Douglas is bringing the ball upcourt. When we don't, we need to outscheme opponents - motion, screens, and ball movement are our friend. It's not Boeheim's strong suit, though. [/QUOTE]
