Not at all. All I’m saying is that when the rest of your teammates can shoot it makes it way easier for you to dominate. Take a look at the last 4 games for both Syracuse. They shot the following as a team from 3:

NCST 48%
UVA 36%
SDSU 55%
WVU 45%

Now compare that to UConn:

GT 43%
DP 29%
CRTN 21%
MD 30%

It’s clear that Syracuse shoots far better from 3 than UConn. Which means other teams actually have to defend the perimeter. When they play UConn they only really need to guard one or two players on the perimeter tightly. The rest of the defense can then sag toward the paint clogging the interior and allowing for double teams of Bouk. With Buddy you cannot double team him because Girard, Griffin, Guerrier, or Braswell will light you up. No one has to take Jackson or Martin or even Gaffney all that seriously when they are on the perimeter. The larger point I’m trying to make is that you can’t compare the two because the circumstances in which they operate are completely different and weighted a lot more heavily against Bouk.
