Message: [QUOTE="KevMonstah, post: 2449192, member: 327"] The current team needs offense, so a scoring-type like Flynn. They've needed that for several years now. I get that they want height, but even with the 6'5"-ish guys playing up top, you have this article: [URL="http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2018/01/syracuse_basketballs_3-point_problem_orange_dont_make_enough_and_allow_too_many.html"]Syracuse basketball's 3-point problem: Orange doesn't make enough, allows too many[/URL] the gist of which comes down to ... SU ranks 125th nationally defending the 3. Teams make 33.7% from deep, and only 11 teams have surrendered a higher percentage of threes than the Orange. 40% of the opponents points come from deep, 23% of SU's. I would say a) the defense isn't going to get worse with a six footer up top, and b) they need scoring. kev [/QUOTE]
