[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 191520, member: 274"] For those interested, Syracuse is going to a perimeter-oriented offense this year out of need. They are severely limited at the center position with Coleman coming back from injury along with an ineffective backup. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest 'Cuse will have the worst center(s) in the league. The (hopeful) offset to that is Coleman's potential improvement (he was a 5* recruit) and the freshmen class (three 4*). Richardson and Lydon both appear to be ready for college ball, Lydon being a stretch 4, and Richardson playing the 3 who can also create. The team hoisted a ridiculous number of 3's in the preseason and were surprisingly efficient relative to last year. I don't think scoring will be as much of a problem as last year... potential for similar improvement as GT on that end. Defensively, surprisingly effort and instincts in the zone for the freshmen is ahead of expectations. That said, any team that is effective finding the middle and crashing the boards is going to have a field day. The Orange are light, albeit with bigger guards, but I can see a disciplined GT team take advantage of that this year. Losing Christmas and what should have been a 4th freshman in Moustapha Diagne (also labeled most game ready of the bunch) is going to stick out like a sore thumb. [/QUOTE]
