For the most part I think WH does a very good job of covering the A-10. He is very objective, has been very harsh on the Rams in the past, has praised DW as of late. That said, in this case I think he was off. I am not writing either kid off, but Binns showed me very little this year. I do not think it was due to lack of hustle though, I think he was just a bit lost on the court. Greene on the other hand showed me a lot of promise, he is extremely athletic, very quick for his size, can jump out of the roof and goes after rebounds with a purpose. The one thing he did not show me was a good jump shot. His shot has little to no rotation and he has a slow release. He can improve on it, but it is not what I would call his strong suit. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

I actually think that WH was right on the money with both players. If you've watched any practices, you know that Greene has a good shooting touch, he just needs some work on his mechanics. He is in fact a very good passer with good court vision and has been hesitant to display his offensive repertoire in games. Binns does jump well, is athletic and has a pretty good shot(again you need to see him practice to understand this because he never lost his game nerves in his 2 months of playing with us). So WH is pretty much right on here with his analysis. There will be lots of different opinions on this, but I agree with WH that both players will be critical to our success next season and my feeling is both will improve and step into important roles.

some might say that Binns didn't lose his nerve, others will say he took ill-advised shots. I'm glad that he shoots well in practice but let's face it, that doesn't win many games and his #'s don't lie. He needs a lot of work. (NT) -- bfg, Tue March 22, 2005 16:24:15

A lot of guys are all-stars in practice, but for whatever reason it doesn't translate well into the games. Like bfg said, the numbers do not lie. Binns has had quite a few disappointing performances. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Tue March 22, 2005 16:40:19
- But that doesn't mean he won't improve. You seem to imply that you think he's as good as he'll ever be as a college basketball player. He's played college ball for two months, I think you need to give the guy a chance to improve before making what appears to be your "final judgement". (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue March 22, 2005 18:02:31
  - I think most people are willing to give him a chance and we hope that he does improve. That being said, his development was slower than other freshmen and more than the level of his play was his poor decisions. He showed some signs of improvement in late Jan and early Feb, but he seemed to regress at the end of the season. That's what has fans concerned. (NT) -- bfg, Tue March 22, 2005 18:34:56
    - I consider the posts here on Binns and Greene to be mean-spirited and illogical. These guys are FRESHMEN! Are you kidding me? Let's keep a rational perspective on these 18-19 year olds. You'd think we were talking about 30 year old NBA players. Give me a break. These folks need to get real on this, and quick. (NT) -- Rambacker, Tue March 22, 2005 20:13:22

Binns was terrible and LAZY all year his rebounding was lax. Greene is a nice player but a HORRIBLE shooter, WH is totally off the mark. (NT) -- The Wram, Tue March 22, 2005 18:52:54
