I like that JTIII's in control and wants smart shots, it's just not always the best offense for this collection of talent/athletes. Wright also had doubts about how he'll do in this. At the risk of piling on, I have to wonder where you get this idea from. Chris committed to a program that runs a variation of the Princeton offense not once, but TWICE. Coach Sendek was running a version of the same offense when Chris committed to NC State, and he decommitted when Sendek left. It appears as though you disagree, but Chris seems to think (and Coach seems to agree) that this offense fits his game pretty well. I'll trust their judgment better than yours. |

From his commitment announcement: www.dcsportsfan.com/default.aspx?ArticleID=906Chris also went on to talk about what he thought about the Georgetown offense. “People don’t always understand this offense, it’s not the Princeton offense, it’s the Georgetown offense, and it has its own special tweaks. This is the same type of offense that great guards in the NBA like Gilbert Arenas, Jason Kidd and Mike Bibby have played or are currently succeeding in, and I think I can succeed in it too”. |

scout, congratulations on ignoring every argument that completely dismantled your idiotic case against GU and trying to use wit to attack what you thought was an opening, rather than use logic. You argued quite unconvincingly that strong systems retard great athletes and players and cited SU as an example along with others. While I knew my fellow Hoyas would easily dissect your claims against the Georgetown offense, I figured your other claims deserved to be proven as equally untrue. All it took was one example when another system, such as SU's 2-3 defense, had proven effective and successful with top notch talent. Arguably SU's most talented team ever was Carmelo's year and it was also the most successful, thus your argument in this case was also incorrect. Boeheim has never been in the same league as JTIII will be as a coach, but Boeheim, Calhoun, Beilein, and other Big East coaches all served notice at the Big East preseason press conferences last year that JTIII and GU were the coach and the team to watch and expressed much admiration (and to an extent fear) for what JTIII is doing at GU. Now I'm trying to see how the claims of mutliple highly respected coaches, top recruits, and players stating how much they respect the Georgetown offense should be disregarded in favor of "conventional wisdom" that this sort of system retards player growth and success?

Hey, y'all can get drunk off the Kool Aid and pig pile all you want. They did have some pretty good kool aid down in Atlanta. |

Wallace and Wright put on quite the defensive show in the final few minutes, leading a full-court pressure defense that changed the tide of the contest. At one point Chris Wright single-handedly forced a timeout by the Colonials guard to avoid a 10-second violation (seriously, have you EVER seen one of those come up in Kenner?). I haven't had a favorite player since Kevin Braswell, but I've decided that I'm adopting Chris Wright as my new favorite. Put me down for him being BE ROY. |

If you think 2003 Syracuse was more talented than their late 80's-early 90's squads, you are nuts. That's for sure. But the Keith Smart-bitten team probably was their best and they were just a few missed free throws and Steve "I hate him because I hate the college three-pointer but I love him for beating 'Cuse" Alford from a title. |
