Cuse fans asking hard hitting questions

They aren't the brightest bunch. Especially @docsu and @pauliepeppas.

Yes please! Not sure who he reminds me of from our great past, he’s like a mix between Caron Butler and Daniel Hamilton. Obviously way more athletic than DH, but man if this kid develops an outside shot he will be nasty for sure!

There isn't really any good UConn player comparison.
There is athletic and then there is this kid. He has uncommon athleticism, like Zach LaVine athleticism....this is from over a year ago.

Scott Burrell with more hops and less of a shooting touch.

Sadly, this story has it's first casualty. It's only a game, damn.

I'm pretty sure no one was curious but thanks for investigating my artistic expression further.

The first split picture I posted was of a truck driver in China crying because people were looting his oranges after an accident. That's the only one that made me feel a little guilty.

sorry if this was previously posted but I think it’s worth re-posting.. just FILTHY athleticism

 

[EBonz30]

Caron was totally something else. We haven't had many guys who fit close to that mold ever.

From what I've seen, something like a partial cross of Daniel Hamilton and Marcus Johnson.

Looks like Rudy Gay, not as tall or polished, but athleticism is very similar....

Per chance, I am drinking this beer right now. Its name seems apropos to this moment in UConn basketball.

I think more like sticks with athleticism and defense. Prob not rebounding aspect

This comparison I really, really like.

Nah. Sticks had no handle. No good lateral movement. Relied on long arms and leaping ability for defense. A black hole passing wise. Didn’t reliably dunk in traffic. This kid stays in front of defenders, has a great handle, passes, and dunks in traffic. I say Burrell with hops.

Sticks had no problem dunking in traffic. Usually above traffic but he could mash with bodies around him.

He did what he was good at. Dunk, rebound, play defense. He was aggressive and mean

The dunk against PC at around the 2:00-2:05 mark is criminal.

Why is no one saying sticks. Then I saw chins input.

Sticks was way bigger. He was a solid 6'8"-6'9" and 220 lbs. Jackson is a much smaller player. Might be just as eplosive but not nearly as big as Sticks.

& imagine how good he would've been if he had some athletic ability.

Stanley owned the heights. The most high flying athletic dominating dunker that ever came here. His timing on offensive rebounds is second to none.

Rudy Gay would like a word with you.

Sticks is bigger for sure but Andre is significantly more explosive and just a better athlete than Sticks and I'm a huge Sticks fan and know he was one of our best run and jump athletes.

They just aren't that similar, Andre needs tons of work on his shot but he has a really nice handle and vision. Stanley couldn't really handle and pass much but he could knock down the open shot and was powerful around the rim. They both rebound and block shots well.

Sticks definitely had amazing dunks but Andre just has some athletic plays that leave my jaw on the floor. Watch some game film on him, if he ever fixes his shot he could be really big time, like NBA big time.

Orange you glad the weather has been so nice in Storrs lately?

Nah. He couldn’t do it consistently.

Yeah, I know there are others, and really impressive players one and all.
