Through 12 games it is clear wedo not have shooters. There is no Scott Knapp, or Jim Cantamessa. Shit I would take a Jim Secretarski since h had a 40 point outburst once.
We have no shooters the opposition thinks they have to guard in their face every time they get the ball behind the arc.

ok PPC..not looking to start a debate over a roster that was printed before games were played. Hopefully those three sharpshooters you say we have are hot tomorrow night because if Fordham is hot from 3 then Siena will need more than Poole hitting 3's to stay in the game. Can't win matching their 3 pointers with 2 pointers. We have to stop Fordham from going off from 3 as opposed to matching them...As a team we have not shot well from 3 and that wont change overnight. ..I was answering the point that we dont have 3s and 4s that can shoot 3s...we do yet the offense has not produced alot of perimeter shooting from those positions outside of Poole when he plays the 3...you will see that change gradually as guys continue to expand their games

Well we will see if you are correct as the second half of the season plays out...either way you can never have too many shooters. ..it would be great to have shooters at every position. ..that does not mean everyone that can shoot 3s will shoot them

Really doesnt matter who buys it...Lavon is 3-5 from 3 right now...and is capable of hitting them off the bounce the catch and off a screen...so far this season he has hit from midrange more and drove to the basket. .that does not mean he cant shoot 3's consistently..its called filling his role and taking what the defense gives you

You have to remember PPC-- a lot of guys on this board ( Hoopjunkie BigSaintG Hoopsfan etc) have been fans of Siena a long time- we have seen some really good teams here so we have a good idea on what the team needs.

MAAC = guards league.
Period. Solid front court and loaded at guard makes Siena an instant contender. Right now Siena is NOT loaded at guard.
Wright Poole and White. Improving any other guard slots is great for the team.
If you've got one 'ship... Take a highly ranked guard

I agree ppc. I like the idea of grabbing the guy with the most talent not just grabbing a guy to fill a position.

I believe the coaches know what they are doing No question coaches know what they are doing-- that's why we were trying to guide you through this. You were the one protesting that Siena needed a big man first and foremost- The Siena board correctly pointed you in direction Jimmy would go. Nothing for nothing-- but Siena board told you ships would open up-- and you protested-- well they opened up - and we probably will see at least one more open up When Ship did open we told you team needed back up PG and shooter-- you said they didn't a gurad they needed a big man-- of course Jimmy goes out and offers Taplin- I think moral of the story here is when several people on board are telling you same thing- we are almost always right I think if another ship opens up you'll see either a back to basket big man - or a 4 that can shoot-- I dunno what does rest of board think?

Correct Papi--- but in this case Siena killed 3 birds one shot... kid is talented ( ESPN 3 stars) 39th ranked PG in country - can shoot-- all time 3 point shooter at his school- is a PG and big enough to play the two--if Jimmy can land him a slam dunk-- or if you prefer for you-- a 3 point swish
