Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 5245415, member: 1522"] The way I see it from where we're sitting right now. We're going to be awesome again at center and we're going to be awesome at shooting guard. Jaylin will start at either power forward or small forward depending on how things shake out and I think he'll make a significant leap. We need more at forward someone who is physical and athletic and the absolute glaring hole/need is at point guard. We don't just need one of them, we need two who can play the position. One can be a combo but has to be able to get into the teeth of the defense and they both need size/muscle. Adams has good shake to his game, change of pace and finishes in creative ways around the rim and he has a good rep as a shooter. The problem is I've yet to see him really shoot well in the games I've watched and my impression is he's got all this wiggle in his game because it's so difficult for him to get by his man because of his weak body and lack of athleticism. He's clearly talented but he simply needs to get bigger and stronger to be a major contributor at UConn. We can't go into next season depending on him to play a major role at point guard. I'm really high on Mullins and Reibe. I've seen a lot of Mullins. Haven't seen much of Reibe at all but a 7 footer who can move like that with his shooting ability and comfortability handling the ball is exciting. Our staff is great with bigs, they'll turn him into a rim protector quickly. [/QUOTE]
