It was impossible not to think about this past year's UConn team while reading this:
http://grantland.com/the-triangle/n...the-suns-went-all-in-to-build-for-the-future/
Let's hope that the 30-odd reps guys like Amida, Kentan, DHam & Rodney got will help them all mature. I know we're all focused on guys getting to the gym, honing jumpers, tightening the handle, etc. And I truly hope that all of the above happens.
But god***n... hoops is about teamwork and communication, and the game is the best teacher.
BTW, somebody's going to come in and point out that both Amida & Kentan are older, which is true. But they're both young in basketball years, having picked up the game much later and subsequently getting fewer high-level reps than their peers.
