Alex Karaban probably is the most cerebral basketball player (BB IQ) to put on a UConn uniform.  An argument could be made for Nadav, Emeka or Shabazz but I think Alex is ahead of even those three and someday he's going to make big $$ coaching.

He is the second most composed player on this team after Adama and it's very close between these two.

He already shows signs of being clutch.  If any player will help Hurley get that close win my money is on Alex.

Most players playing the number of minutes Alex has been playing would be showing signs of fatigue at this juncture of the season.  He actually looks fresher now than in January.  Why?  Because he uses a minimum of movements and energy to accomplish his tasks.  He needed more in January because he was going through a learning curve.  Film only accomplishes so much.  Playing against really good fours (and the BE has a strong contingent of them) gave him the experience to make adjustments to his play to handle them better the second time around and he did it more efficiently.  The kid is an amazingly quick learner.

And he has become the floor general for this team.  Not since KEA has a freshman been the floor general.
