That is exactly the focus that could derail this team. Team play will be the heart of UConn's success. If any player starts focusing more on increasing their personal stats at the expense of the team, we will be DOOMED for sure!
The players should think in terms of Derrick Williams at Arizona. He was not a big national name until the NCAA tourney. He was a candidate for player of the year, true, but all the affirmation came during the tourney. In other words, there is no platform like the NCAA tourney. For a player like Napier, for instance, the lack of a tourney allows people to not even rate him in the top 10 of PGs.
