I wonder which Buddy we get next year. The one that can drop contested threes on the regular, and can be impactful like an Andy Rautins by hitting big shots, or the guy that hits 35/40 percent and does not offer up enough of everything else? Hopefuly the former!

Hopefuly the former! You know coaches are going to put their best defender on him that's for sure. Others will have to step up but we will see how that pans out.

yeah, it will be interesting to see if he becaomes a guy who can just wait for his shot, or tries to force as the defense focuses on him he may need to create more but i'm nto too sure on how that goes

I’m hoping Benny will be as advertised and take pressure off Buddy. Cole and Buddy should be challenging with pick and rolls. Cole should help much more than Marek in that he’ll keep the defense honest. I hope he can pass like Marek, and we’ll really have something. Buddy will really benefit if Cole is productive.

My main worry is who is going to put it on the floor and get into the paint. To drive/distribute. That guy is gone in Kadary. Kadary is nowhere near some lottery pick/NBA guy yet but can Symir get into the lane and take some pressure off the perimeter shooters? That will be the question. We don’t have players like on Baylor or Alabama/UCLA where we can spread you out with a bunch of great ballhandlers/shooters/athletes. It seems like this is how JB wants to play now for better or worse.

I'm quite sure from watching Swider clips that he's going to have that move in his pocket as well.

I think one of the Top 5 crazy moments in college basketball this season is the idea that Buddy could play in the NBA.
Thoughts?

He’s overused here. If a franchise is willing to have him stand in the corner and shoot threes while dealing with the defensive repercussions then maybe he gets a cup of coffee. He’s not taking anybody off the bounce in the NBA when it’s a struggle here often. Otherwise, he’ll be in Europe where he’ll be commonplace there. He’s nowhere near Andy Rautins’ overall skillset.

I can't see a situation where he shoots it well enough to offset the rest. He would need to be a 50% type guy. He's never much approached that.

Buddy needs to score more buckets. Teams are shutting him down pretty easily even when not doubling, just some decent M2M will pretty much turn him into a 8th man type playing 40 MPG though.

Buddy has no blow by ability. He’s not athletic and he’s slow footed. About all he can do is shoot, or try to back down guys. Against tight defense he can be completely negated.
