How about a young Dr J (while at college--UMass)..But with a better handle/outside shot/similar hops??

If he were a young Dr. J with a better handle and outside shot he'll be going to the NBA next year, and be a NBA all star in a few years. Dr. J was one of the best ever, and he looked like a NBA player when he was in college.

I was careful in stating a young Dr J (at the college level).. I believe AJ has similar athleticism.. I am not predicting what a career in the NBA would look like for him.. Too soon.. Let him entertain us as a Husky for awhile.. FYI..Saw Dr J play vs Huskies at the Fieldhouse back in the day..
 
The comp I've always liked is Zach Lavine. Probably the easy way out with that one, but the hops, playmaking, and size always seemed similar to me.

Andre probably is a better playmaker and less talented shooter. And I think Andre will be a more impactful college player just because he should be here 2 years IMO.

Depending on what we do with this final open spot I think we have a shot at being the best. Mac, Sanogo or a high end transfer like Fatts puts us over Marquette.

I agree but I said that when Hurley got hired. In order to get the “UConn level” recruits without having to scratch and claw like we did for Jackson is getting players in the NBA agin. The fact that UConn football players nearly double basketball in their professional leagues is not great. We need to get to 5-10-15 UConn players in the NBA to get the mojo back. This is an awesome development of it happens. Hurley is also going all out in 2021 so im excited.

Then we won't have the mojo back for a decade or so lol

Tell that to the people still walking into grocery stores without masks.

I wear them to appear to be a good citizen but the typical cloth masks don’t block this small microscopic virus. The N95 only block it in water droplet form - from a cough or sneeze. The virus from breathing or talking doesn’t even get caught in an N95. That typically blocks 2.5 microns particle matter to 0.06 to 0.14 for the non water droplet COVID-19 virus. All this assumes they fit snugly, if not they are even less effective. I know people and politicians want the visible sign of security of these masks being worn but as NY, NJ and CT death tolls show it’s not working - we would be better off just being outside, wAshing hands, social distancing, especially when the weather is warm, sunny and humid.

Please stick to basketball. Your public health takes are at best casual and at worst, absolutely terrible.

I’m not sure about the conclusion, but Chief posted an article which talked about the filtration limitations of masks generally and particularly homemade cloth ones.

Most people who are wearing N95 masks are not getting the benefit to themselves because they don’t wear them tight enough. If u wear it properly after 20 min u will have pressure point lines on your face. Med folks are trained how to properly use them

They’re not meant as filters....

Okay, what do you believe they are meant for? Symbology? Because that is the use for which they are most effective.

(If you say to stop the spread of the disease, particulate filtration is the engine that drives that.)
 
Since this has now turned into a Covid thread, after basically the entire public health "expert" community bashed them relentlessly for like the past 2 months, Sweden is now the model going forward...

WHO lauds lockdown-ignoring Sweden as a ‘model’ for countries going forward

The World Health Organization lauded Sweden as a “model” for battling the coronavirus as countries lift lockdowns — after the nation controversially refused restrictions. Dr. Mike Ryan,…

Sweden is a largely homogeneous country where the relationship between the Gov and the Citizens is trusting and cooperative. That's certainly not the relationship we have here. Our culture largely reinforces our independence from government.

“What it (Sweden) has done differently is it has very much relied on its relationship with its citizenry and the ability and willingness of its citizens to implement self-distancing and self-regulate,” Ryan said. “In that sense, they have implemented public policy through that partnership with the population.”
