Yup As much as I appreciate what JB has given to the Syracuse program and community I’m starting to resent his unwillingness to see his time is up. So here’s my Message to JB: Let go! You’re a fucking legend. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Don’t be the legend turned goat. Don’t destroy the program you built. The falling leaves teach us everyday to let go. It’s not death, it’s transition. You can be a fan. You can enjoy family time. Stop fighting Father Time. Stop your revenge on the NCAA. Everyone who’s opinion of you should matter knows you got the shaft. Your penalties were unfair. But life is short. Let karma fix itself. Enjoy life. I wish Wildhack would say that to him.

Is Buddy the best guard we have ever had? no. But do not say he is not a p5 player because of resentment towards his father as the coach. Should he be a sophmore starting 2 guard playing 35 minutes on an ACC team? Probably not. But again that is more of an indictment on the roster talent than him.

He’s fine coming off the bench in a specified role. What is wrong to freaking suggest that? What Top 25 team would be playing Buddy Boeheim 35-40mpg? Give me a freaking break. For the last time, nobody is saying that he can’t play or contribute but it’s the coach’s poor roster management and lack of talent forcing him to play all these minutes. He’s just not capable of it against P5 and P5 better teams especially. This is not some stretch or revelation.

Because the suggestion that he's not a 35 minute guy on a top 25 team is valid and accurate....
The suggestion that he is not a P5 player is insane.

Playing him 35 mpg and having him dribble and handle the ball so much in the P5 is insane. Got it? Use him like that in the Patriot League where he isn’t exposed like he has been all season against P5 guys. We haven’t even played any juggernauts yet!

If Buddy is a P5 player, he’s a bench player at best. He certainly has a high IQ, and great shooting form. His court vision is actually pretty good too. But that’s where it ends. He’s slow, and a very poor defensive player. He doesn’t have hops or elite athleticism. He’d get eaten alive in a man defense. He can’t create his own shot, and he certainly can’t blow by anyone, let alone attack the rim and finish through contact. He is a great spot up shooter. That’s his strength. It doesn’t make up for his other shortcomings. He would be a stud in the Patriot League, not so much in the ACC... that’s what we’re all trying to say.

My two cents is Buddy is a D1 player for sure, but he should probably be on a mid major team. Not necessarily the Patriot League, but not quite P5. This opinion has NOTHING to do with my thoughts on JB. Buddy’s a great kid. I’m not on here saying he should be benched. We don’t have anyone better to start in his place. That’s the problem. This isn’t Buddy’s fault. Clearly, Buddy would make a great sniper/super sub. A starter... definitely not.

An assessment I agree with totally. On a deeper SU team he could have an Andy Rautins like trajectory that starts as sniper/sub and could evolve with added frame and athleticism over 4 years. Unfortunately his father/staff recruited a team that puts him in a lose/lose spot.

Unfortunately his father/staff recruited a team that puts him in a lose/lose spot. Maybe... I think Andy had more athleticism than Buddy’s got, and better foot speed too. But yes, this roster definitely isn’t constructed to play to Buddy’s strengths. With little surrounding talent it just magnifies his weaknesses.

Definitely the roster and scheme isn’t helping but I too think Andy naturally was always faster and had quicker feet. That’s Buddy’s big weakness.

Yes totally Andy had more speed/size. Buddy a better natural shooter id say. Buddy's biggest detriment is the team his father and staff recruited.

Buddy is very gifted in that regard. I think Buddy is more sturdy and physical at the same stage. But it’s that quickness and footspeed. Buddy never will be able to run full speed around those curls, then raise up and hit tough threes. Andy could shake tough defenders like that.

Joe G has that IMO. but does not possess the size andy had I think it’s possible. I really like Joe but it’s unfortunate how he is being used and the load he has to shoulder due to the mess the Staff has created. He’s a better athlete than Buddy. More of that football burst and toughness. He’s just not ready to be a PG playing all these minutes bailing out JB.

Joe would be fine if he had the roster that Gmac had in 2003. Joe is smart, crafty, tough as nails, but he’s been given mission impossible.
