Choose 1 player from the past Uconn teams to make the current team a Final Four Contender

[BigErnMcCracken]

Is there one player from past UConn teams that could make this team a Final Four contender? You watch Duke and some of these other schools play and you're reminded that part of UConn's problem right now is that the roster is just not that talented vis-a-vis some of the programs that have legitimate final four aspirations.

It has to be Okafor

A few months ago I was looking desperately for that video of the clapping girl.

What are the chances she's not in corporate auditing - and a dominatrix after business hours...

 

[GemParty]

A deep threat like Ben, Shad, or Giffey.

 

[Bonk]

Besides Charles Okwandu, Ray Allen. The opposing defense would have to be so spread out.

Love mek, but has to be Donyell. Great rebounder, shot blocker and inside/outside game. His game translates well to today's style

 

[zepfan]

R. Anderson or Okafor. We someone who can score consistently. A knockdown shooter or an inside player with legit offensive skills. If Vital can heat up it should help.

 

[Jluc]

Okafor and I don't think it's close

 

[TitleTown]

Ajou Ajou Deng

2011 Kemba Walker would have us cutting down the nets in April.

Cornelius Thompson....as a freshman made the biggest difference to a UConn team than any player in history. Parade National POY and chose us over North Carolina, Virginia, and Princeton. Lol

Getting him made all the difference against teams like Holy Cross, Syracuse, BC, and URI. We didn't always win but all the games against those teams were suddenly going down to the wire with Corny on the floor. Gave us instant respect in the newly formed Big East. With Jalen, Terry and a young Corny, we'd be very tough to beat. IIRC, we made the NCAA's his freshman year, but might of been his sophmore year.

Mine would be Emeka Okafor. The ability to protect the rim would allow the guards to wreak havoc with pressure defense ala Boatright and Napier. Take notes, KO.

Yep, Okafor...

Nope, you were right. He was a frosh. Then the Morris Mtn. showed up and took all his shots.

 

[gtcam]

Rip Hamilton
Energizer bunny who could shoot lights out
That's what this team needs

 

[tcf15]

Kevin Ollie. That would get him off the sideline for good.

So this doesn't dissolve into another KO debate. Look far right of his post.

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Kemba. A good three point shooter would be amazing, but would they get open looks with the players we currently have? Kemba creates his own looks. Emeka would be great too, but could we feed him properly? Kemba puts everyone on his back.

 

[Bagel&Cheese]

Ray Okafor.. who else.

Gay....

.... as in this topic is kinda Gay.

... without Rudy Gay.

Okafor, Allen, and Hamilton were just having a casual threesome in this thread until Rudy Gay walks in and puts an end to it right away.

We see what we want to see.
