Bazz's place among the all time UConn greats ?

[TheChamps990411]

Best UConn career of all time: Shabazz
Best single season performance: Kemba
Most talented player: Probably between 3 or 4 players and is up for discussion

Have to disagree on most talented. I think Donyell was the best p4p player we`ve ever had. He could post up,block shots,hit threes and drive to the basket with the best of them. If donyell had been allowed to develop at the 3 in the nba instead of putting on weight to play the 4 he wouldve been an all star. As good as Ray,Rip,Mek,Caron,Kemba etc. were Donyell was better. his last year he averaged like 25 ppg and 9 rebounds and 4 blocks or something ridiculous like that.

Bazz did it on the biggest stage under the brightest lights. That's why I consider him the greatest Husky of all time.

I think hes the greatest Husky of all time. I really have a difficult time arguing against it. if not him then who?

Kemba is the best Husky of all time. What he did in 2011 is unprecedented and imo better then what Shabazz did (Shabazz was leading a veteran laden team, Kemba had Alex Oriakhi and some freshmen) and he also contributed more to the 2009 Final Four run then Bazz did to the 2011 run

Oh I don't know about the 2009 comment. I remember Shabazz coming off the bench and making a number of "wow" plays. I'm not saying Kemba didn't contribute in 2009, but body of work-wise, Shabazz was a pretty important component.

this kind of argument is fun in the off-season. But at the end of the day, its really opinion. Like what was the bigger accomplishment, Joltin' Joe's hitting streak or teddy Ballgame's .406? You can make a case either way. And I think people also are forgetting just how good Emeka was in 2004. His impact in the 2nd half of the Duke game showed that.
