Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 3947287, member: 1609"] That’s a real good question and something I have thought about I think the question is different for different years . It also depends how he was used Certainly his freshman year when Adams was forced to be on the ball 40 minutes. CV would have lost minutes But a three man rotation would have helped that team. That team probably wins 20 and goes to the NIT. Unless they won the AAC tourney which was very likely. Sophomore year CV would have played 2/3. It pretty much had to be three guard . That team needed to pressure the ball to be successful and would have been much more competitive but that was a killer schedule and the front court was decimated. However if the previous year had more success than who knows about the departures . That could be a game changer. Personally I thought both Ollie and Hurley overestimated Gilbert’s PG skills . I though he was more RB than Bazz Adams was a much better PG because of his court vision Blending those three guards was difficult but doable. To be fair Rodney was not emotionally prepared for that season , with the loss of his friend who was pretty much his adopted brother. To be fair to Jalen he was playing a new position which at least during his UConn career never seemed comfortable. Actually when Jalen went back to point the team clicked he had his best year at UConn. However he was playing on ball for the whole game which was not good that created other issues. Blending two into a team was challenging and Hurley had the same problem. We will never know for sure. [/QUOTE]
