Daniels

[BFieldHusky]

When thinking about next years team, I think we overlook Daniels. Now he obviously had a tough freshman year, and it sounds like he had some personal things going on with his sister going through some serious stuff. That being said, if he can get into the weight room, and work on his handle, he has the potential to be a good player.

Napier, Boatright, Roscoe, Daniels, Giffey, Olander form a nice returning core (assuming AO, Lamb, Drummond are gone).

Omar should be able to help right away as well... maybe be the freshman napier spelling bazz and boat....

Roscoe and Daniels should go to Rip Hamilton's Pepetual Motion Basketball Camp where they can:
- Understand what shape you need to be in to pull this off
- Learn the art of the catch and shoot of the screen

Not sure who plays center next year but if those two learn to become Rip-like, defenses will have a hard time adjusting and the middle lane will be wide open for Bazz and Boat to carve up.

He doesn't have Rip's speed point to point. JL is a loper where Rip exploded off screens just like Ray. Even when he gets a full contact screen he is a step behind where Rip would have been. Maybe it's conditioning but think its really being a step or two slower than Rip.

Someone is going to need to score. Think what you want about Lamb, but that's 18 ppg we may have to replace.

Then we'll just need Shabazz to become Kemba-like and Olander to become Donyell-like and we should be all set.

In serious though, Roscoe is likely not going to ever be a guy with terrific perimeter skills, but that is fine. He showed down the stretch that what he does defensively and around the basket is incredibly valuable.

Roscoe has way too far to go to be a perimeter guy like that. If he can get his jumpshot down to where he can be a catch and shoot guy I would just be happy with that. His ballhandling and lack of bbiq is too far behind to become a wing player, but if he can be a stretch 4 with the ability to score garbage points inside and then go out and shoot 15-20ft that would be great.

If Daniels is going to be a factor, he has a long way to go in terms of strength and muscle. Someone needs to get that kid some cheeseburgers quick. I am not sure he has the frame to add a lot of muscle. He is a big question mark. Potential to be good and potential to not do much again.

Dont pray for Daniels to be a savior for this team because that wont happen, and he probably wont get minutes next year considering Giffey is already better than him and watch for giffey to make some improvements for next year. Giffey should be a starter for us next year at the 2 or the 3 depending on how big or small calhoun wants to go. Roscoe of course will be starting from day 1 like he should and hopefully we recruit a good big man right now to replace DeAndre Drummond.

Hey, huskymagic doesn't like Daniels. Have you heard?

What you guys are missing is that its not about the muscle or the weight with this guy. He needs to work on quickness, agility, lateral mobility, his shooting. He cant hit a jumper that has nothing to do with muscle or weight because Lamb was just as skinny last year for us and sill in and he came up big for us at least in last year's championship season. This guy has a long way to go in terms of all around basketball not just gaining weight because it wont matter.

Funny. He hit a -ton in high school and the rim's the same height.

This kid has shooting ability. He's got a lot going for him. He didn't perform this year. He also didn't get a ton of minutes. He will develop into a special player. There's too much talent.

Inyatkin I just dont want to get the man's hope up for Deandre daniels. I do it out of love not hate but is it my fault that we have two DeAndre's stinking it up on our team.

I hope he does but I don't think I was watching the same player you were. He has some skill but a special player? I didn't see that

Try to troll a forum where you actually know the players names buddy.

That's funny, because it comes across like an obsession. And the idea that you can write a guy off given what we've seen of him is, frankly, ridiculous.

Thanks,
Thanks, Andy Katz.

I think DeAndre's got a world of potential.

 

[tzznandrew]

FYI, we don't talk transfers here.

 

[joober jones]

Forget Rip's Perpetual Motion Camp. Where Roscoe really needs to spend his summer is at the Seth Thomas Clock Reading camp.

Are you really questioning my UCONN credentials and basketball iq when i have already proven numerous times my knowledge of UCONN basketball and its players. LOL. I guess you havent been keeping up with my posts that you would know that Andre Dummond will be known to me now with his new moniker DeAndre Dummond to show his similarity to DeAndre Daniels and his ineptitude, which is why i said (sarcastically) that its not my fault we had 2 DeAndres on this team.

 

[huskymagic]

he wont i said this a while back but yea andrew is right we dont speculate on transfers in the boneyard. In fact talking this much about Daniels is unnecessary as I knew the type of player Daniels was from the beginning , sad to say because he really is a good kid.

 

[Walker11]

You are right that I have not been following your posts because I, like the majority of the board has been able to utilize the ignore function. I was unfortunate to have read this thread on my phone while logged out and was able to see your charming posts. There is going to be a day in the future when you look back and say, "Wow, I can't believe how much of a tool I used to be." For your sake, hopefully this realization takes place sooner rather than later.
