I would not want him

You absolutely take him. He’s an excellent shooter and would take over Greg Elliott’s role.
Saw him play this year against Pitt, the last home game. Looks like a total geek but he can play.
Take. I think he is in top 10 all time of high school point scorers. He would be nice in our offense. Real nice.
Amazing how this guy could be collecting his pension after 47 years at Syracuse but can still play ball. We absolutely have a spot for him!
Over 4,700 points in high school basketball and over 6,000 yards as a high school football player. I would be just fine adding him as a transfer. In either sport.

So we have the luxury of passing on this good of a shooter, a shooter that’s already proven it at this level?
Because he can’t guard anyone. Not as good a rebounder but would he be worse than Elliott on perimeter defense?
I’m sure one of the other 20 schools on that list will be very happy to have him.
That’s lame Gary, pulling out the ole B10 is so slow and antquated relative to the other conferences bias.
I’d say we’re definitely back if we’re to good for B10 level players.
You do not think he is one dimensional? Strictly an offensive player. Basically a half court player.and very inconsistent.
When he is hot, he is hot. When not....
My guess is Dior's game is a lot like Mintz's (ie ball dominant). Dior and Girard didnt play well together like McGowens and Johnson so it probably wouldn't be a good fit.....but he can score so I'd take him and take my chances.
Well he’d fit in with our defense then. Ha
I am torn on Girard. He can make 3s but cant do much else. I would guess his defense is bad but we've never seen him in a man. Our defense and rebounding is already bad.
Jeffress will be back. This would be such a huge pickup. Experience and 3PT shooting in the backcourt are needs right now.
I'd take him because he and I are from the same hometown. He lives just two streets behind me. That's credential enough for me. The fact that he finished sixth in scoring for the 2022-23 ACC regular season is beside the point.
39 percent from three last two seasons, familiarity with ACC and 85% from the line.
Elliot was a good rebounder for his position on a bad rebounding team. Girard doesnt rebound. Probably doesn't defend. Hunts his shot better than Greg and can go off. I'm not saying I wouldnt take him but he comes with question marks. He would be a great 5th piece on an already good team.
He was a guard in a 2-3 zone. Of course his rebounding numbers weren’t good.
You know what else is a question mark? If Jeffres can even shoot a ball high enough for it to be physically possible to go in the hoop or if Santos could hit the ocean with a rock, or any object of his choice. I'll take someone who can shoot; figure the rest out later.
I don't even know what his rebounding numbers were. But he's a small guard so I cant imagine he will rebound well.
Elliot averaged 4 rebounds per game yesterday
Girard averaged 2.8 RPG at the top of a zone defense
I’d say that’s a push
Girard also averaged almost 3 more assists per game
He’s a great shooter who handles and distributes the ball well .
It’s insane
Exactly. I also love all the experts bashing his individual defense when all he’s ever done is play the top of the 2/3 zone.
