Will believe this when I see it -
The stagnant offenses of the past few years will be gone. Ball movement slowed as a result of no playmakers and the lack of offensive threats. Limited outside shooting meant defenses could pack it in to cut off drives.
Syracuse’s assist totals in the last two years mark the lowest and third-lowest since the school started keeping tracking assists in 1971.
“We didn’t move the ball a lot,’’ Boeheim said of his recent Orange squads. “We had to drive a lot. In some games, like Duke, we were OK, but we didn’t move the ball and we had no post presence.
“Next year, we should be able to move the ball better and not dribble-drive as much,’’ he continued. “We have guys who can shoot it and pass it.’’

So why couldn’t they move the ball?! I don’t get it. They’ll still ISO to death next year. That’s how he coaches!

I think I remember JB saying how much he admires Golden State, so I do think he's coming around to the idea that shooting and ball movement are vital in today's game. I will give him credit for trying to change things up. It remains to be seen if we will actually have the talent to play a style like Golden State, and how well JB can change his coaching style. Seeing is believing.

Didn't mean to imply we are anything like GS... just that I think watching them may have influenced him to pursue guys with more offensive abilities. Brycen, Buddy and JG3, along with bigs that can shoot may make the offense better. But JB must have forgotten about the need for a beefy Draymond type. We're going to get destroyed on the boards, and defensively we may suffer too. It shall be interesting for sure.

No, I was laughing about the JB comment. If he had any clue on that offense ours wouldn't look like dog sh*t the last how many years.
