Good article about his ups and downs this year and going forward. He's a HUGE key to how good SU is next year IMHO.

Very good article. Absolutely you are right. Arguably the biggest key. Can’t keep having these combos coming in and struggling. Also, Dion and MCW didn’t struggle as much early on with the ball and such.
One thing that has bothered me and I’ve mentioned it before. That’s freaking GMac again (he said it preseason last year) saying that basically there is nobody faster in the country with the ball. Last year he said Carey is as fast as anybody coast-to-coast with the ball. Baloney. He’s fast compared to Frank (who isn’t) and a Howard Washington type. He’s not in the same league as Coby White getting up and down the floor. Markell Johnson, Alterique Gilbert, the PG on Miami, even Guy/Tre Jones are quicker. He’s a long strided guy who has some speed yes. We have been arguably the slowest/worst team in the P5 in terms of collective team speed and fast breaking the past two years. Maybe that’s clouding GMac’s judgement some. Regardless, it’s a stupid thing to keep saying.

I agree about the speed thing too. Sometimes when he was going to fast he was turning the ball over, especially trying to go through 2 guys, or challenging a bigger guy at the rim cause he's not strong enough.

Yup he also was rejected around the rim a LOT per attempt. Regardless, if he doesn’t clean up that handle we’ll never get to see how potentially fast he could be. I’m tired of hearing “pushing the pace.” It never seems to happen! Hopefully one of these days.

Yep we got have folks who can rebound first before we can do that. Better hope OB comes back.

Not that he’s even remotely close to a poor man’s Paul George, but yeah if OB leaves, we’ll be in BIG trouble. Won’t be able to run, we’ll be scrambling and needing to play out another possession on D. We’ll have to grind out games again.

Carey is a key, no doubt. It will be an interesting team for sure. Hope we'll be strong enough. Wish it wasn't such a long wait for next season. I really want to be pleasantly surprised!
