Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4506306, member: 1414"] I know. But the fans don't seem to realize that he's being played this way because he's completely incapable of defending a lot of the bigs in this league. It's obvious [U]if you watch the substitution patterns[/U], with the exception of Sanogo foul situations, they are based on who he has to guard. The other team puts a mobile 5 who can shoot out there, and Clingan comes out. Even when he's playing well. Could Hurley do something to minimize that situation? He could. I think he has tried with half measures, and the result has been that the whole team defense is screwed up. I like Donovan a lot, but if he wasn't a local kid, we wouldn't have recruited him. He'd fit better at Iowa or a similar program. Look at next year's new center...could they be more different? Hurley has a decision to make here. Donovan can be an impact player, but UConn has to fundamentally change the way it plays for that to happen. [/QUOTE]
