Big surprise a person from or lives in NEw York is a duke fan. 

K doesn't develop big men and it baffles me how elite NBA prospect bigs continue to go there. He wants bigs that only set screens for his wings to do all the scoring. 

We don't have much options outside of Syracuse to root for. I guess St. Bonaventure, Buffalo or Niagara.

I have to agree with you on this,  mainly because he doesn't let them play.  I feel like Bolden could be more then a bench warmer if he let him play big. Jeter has gotten worse since last year. His leash is too short sometimes.

Bolden's conditioning isn't where it needs to be I don't think. He can't get up and down the floor in transition. If you look at the games were he has logged significant minutes off the bench, it has been vs teams that are big and don't run the floor.

Jeter showed some improvement early this year, but then underwent a mysterious herniated disk surgery in January...which I still question if it even happened. He was back supporting the team quick and jumping around on the bench. Apparently he is well enough to play already but can't find the minutes.

But I agree, he can't seem to develop bigs. The fact Jefferson never developed a mid-range jump shot still irks me. 

One guy I wish he would give more time to is Jack White from Australia. The kid can shoot it.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
