Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 2061158, member: 364"] We all can play this game ... Recently, he went 15 of his last 22. That is a better percentage. The truth - unless you want to argue until the cows come back to Storrs - is that Rodney Purvis is a very streaky rhythm shooter and shoots best when the TEAM is in sync and the offense gets him shots where he is comfortable. For about 4 games that happened. My point remains ... these kids develop under Kevin Ollie as well as they ever have at UConn. Each Player is different. Brimah is what he is. I did not enter 2016-2017 thinking that Brimah improvement was going to be a key factor. We had three primary guys that needed to be good - Adams, Larrier, Gilbert. Two of them were gone for the year within the first 20 days. Secondarily, Enoch, Durham, Vital, Jackson, Facey would have to climb up from their evident potential to solid college players. Facey has. Jackson and Vital have been better and contributed more than expected. And I am reasonably hopeful on Durham and Enoch. Can we make a big leap - LEAP - up in 2017-2018. YES. Gilbert, with a suitable medical recovery, with Adams and a really improved Vital with Langford grafted on may be amongst the BEST guard bunch we see next year. I don't think we saw anyone we played this year with better. Larrier CAN be a key scorer/defender at 3 & 4. I am excited about Jackson and think he can be a smoother floor player on offense and will know his ability to defend. The big IF ... is what we get from Enoch or Durham or Carlton or maybe someone else. [/QUOTE]
