If McNamara doesn’t save Syracuse quickly they will permanently fall into the bottom half of all college basketball.

Doubtful and laughable. Last year they were 85 in the NET and 87 in KenPom. Not what they are used to but nowhere near the bottom half of all college basketball.

I guess you didn’t read the first part of my first sentence.

@Halldan or anyone else - given the choice of Petrovic or Mariano, which would you choose? Both fit a desperate need. An actual big PF with G-League experience vs a true actual PG with Euro and high major experience. Please don't say Petrovic just because it looks like hes the one who may make it on the team.

 

[Halldan]

I would go with Mariano because he was the most likely starting PF. That said, Holloway is very high on Petrovic.

I’d say I have no idea. Less than 50 minutes played in the G League really doesn’t equate to G League experience.

Thinking he would be our starting PF is scary, I’ve seen nothing that would indicate that.

Petrovic seems to have some talent but not much experience either.

Starting by default because of the injury to Williams? Or starting over Williams?
