UConn landing East Carolina guard Tristen Newton was one of 247Sports' favorite decisions, and the Huskies make it on Version 2.0 again. Virginia Tech guard Nahiem Alleyne is such a flawless fit alongside Newton in Dan Hurley's offense. Alleyne is a very polished in the catch-and-shoot game. He shot 37% from 3-point range this past season, and his one-dribble pull-up game is really good, too. Newton can handle the brunt of the ball-handling duties which should allow Alleyne to relocate and find his spots to get buckets. He shot 41.7% on corner 3s last year at Virginia Tech, and he also was 24-for-48 on elbow jumpers, so UConn can run him off down screens to get easy looks. Alleyne-Newton will be a very fun 1-2 combination for UConn.
