Message: [QUOTE="Hoopcrazee, post: 4968512, member: 10883"] Hard to come up with an original adjective to describe what Donovan has accomplished and led to 2 nattys... I was clearly in the "wait and see" camp when he arrived on campus with lofty expectations..perhaps burned by the way we often over hype new big men ( ie Akok Akok, Ater Majok etc )...It didn't take long to recognize the unique defensive presence and basketball IQ , he brought to the table..Safe to say he exceeeded expectations by 10X Two years later and I'd rate him as the best defensive player ( with apologies to Emeka Okafor )I have seen in over 50 years of watching UConn basketball...and way more than just a rim protector... a defensive game changer beyond belief.. Thanks Donovan for your amazing contributions and good luck in NBA!!! [/QUOTE]
