In response to penn nation
Agree that we haven't seen a lot of shot making in games (having played with him, I don't think scoring is missing from the skillset, though I also don't think he'll be an all-Ivy creater). Not sure exactly why we're so down on his D -- but haven't taken much of a dive into the advanced stats. I'm not as down on his physical tools as others.
But also think that there's a reason everyone is frustrated with Goodman / Darnell as well. They're now getting stuck with the difficult shots (off the dribble, end of shot clock, when sets break down) that happen to teams without elite 1-on-1 scorers. That's a brutal role without an all-Ivy guy next to you to clean up (thanks Ibby!).
The role is tough. He's struggled in it. So have the other PGs we've put out there (they've also showed skill sets with bright sides and big gaps). Not sure it means Silpe's not capable of playing at this level so much as it means, for whatever reason, this mix of guys with this coach hasn't worked out so far (and the nature of college hoops is when that happens, coaches understandably keep moving on).
