(Opponents) don’t know if you have space in the high post because he can get there in a second.

“He’s so lengthy, he’s always getting in guys’ heads. “K’s a great defender, great instincts,” Buddy Boeheim said admirably about his agile teammate. Defensively, that height and frame has caused havoc at the top of the zone. There was no doubt to anyone watching Sunday that other than an early blip against the Wolfpack press, a significant reason for the comeback victory had to do with Richmond’s efficiency with his time on the court, at both ends.Įven with his outside shot still a work in progress, at 6-5 he can take most defenders to the basket and choose to shoot or pass for points, and at worse draw foul shots. Take that response to mean that the starters will remain the same, and perhaps Richmond is inserted (excluding unusual circumstances or foul trouble) into a game a little earlier than a minute or so before the 12:00 media timeout in each half. “I’m really sick of people thinking ‘well this guy should play, that guy should play.’ We need all three to play.” “We need all three guys to play and be effective,” Boeheim insisted when the subject was presented following the win over the Wolfpack. He clarified as much following Sunday night’s strong second-half showing to track down and defeat a watered-down North Carolina State team missing two starters, keyed by clamping down defensively (no second half Wolfpack treys), hitting key baskets off improved offensive flow (five players in double figures), and even hanging on to win for the first time this season when outrebounded (37-to-35).ĭon’t ask Boeheim about how he distributes total number of minutes played for starting guards Joe Girard and son Buddy, with top reserve Kadary Richmond.Įven if Orange fans are burning through Tweets complaining about Richmond deserving more PT than Girard, and further incited when ACC Network analyst and former Notre Dame standout Jordan Cornette (the school’s all-time blocked shots leader from 2001-05) was using his platform in the game broadcast to loudly proclaim the same wish – give Richmond more minutes – Boeheim is going to roll out a starting lineup and handle game substitutions his way. Jim Boeheim simply does not want to hear the talk.
