Message: [QUOTE="fanfanclubclub, post: 84524, member: 787"] I'm not dumping on him. I've said a dozen times that he is a very good college player, competing for one of five spots on the floor, or one of 8.5 spots in a rotation, on an amazingly talented team. We only have so many pre-conference games. If James is, in reality, our 10th man, then it is obvious that it hurts Syracuse's championship chances to spend our early season games investing in an offense led by our 10th man shooting jump shots. I want to see James develop his game by lowering his usage rate, improving his rebounding/post defense, and looking to make the quick, efficient pass: haven't seen that yet. A few posters have pointed out that Southerland's mid range game will open up the lane for us, and I do think I've under-appreciated that part of Dirty's game. [/QUOTE]
