DeAndre Daniels

Inyatkin- dude he scored 55 total points in his Uconn career. I would hope more then a dunk is "flashing brilliance" to you. Hopefully that was sarcasm. He might of flashed that brilliance then went to UDub and showed that brilliance.

Depends on the definition of "flash brilliance" I guess. Anyway, that's one more highlight than Scott Hazelton had

i think daniels is turning out to be good and i think he'll be really good by the time he leaves. if he has a shot from 3 he should take it, if he can drive then drive but i think the most damage he will do is when he gets better at his back to the basket or face up from 10 ft out which he is working on and taking those shots which i like

needs to start knocking down the midrange on a consistent basis, the majority of his jumpers are wide open looks. He's pretty much the key vs Syracuse, if he's as ineffictive from 15ft and in or in the middle of the zone as he's been the last few games then the team has no chance.

It isn't even a question of getting strength. He has to just cut out the stupid stuff.

Same can be said about many of the posters on these forums. And lord knows we have pointed this out amongst ourselves over and over. Have you seen people change? Or have you changed? We are who we are and funny thing is many of us who want to change others are the most likely to dig our feet in when people point out our shortcomings.

I'm with Perspective. This is his first year getting significant minutes at the D-1 level. And he's playing out of the position he worked on last season. We'll see what his trajectory will be. He has game and could become special.

If Daniels added 10 pounds of muscle and some confidence, he could become a very good player.

I agree with this. He needs the strength to finish around the rim and to get rebounds. He needs hand strength to hold onto the rebounds better. And I would agree with you, his misses are from a fear of failing which is a confidence issue. He's got the skills imo.

You could make an argument that Stanley Robinson is the exception to every rule ever written.

Rome?

Young, still raw, still learning the 4 position, still understanding his potential, did I say young. He was not a one and done recruit, and he's better this year than last, will be better next year and in year 4 he will be ready. He's contributing which is the positive, and trying 'to fit in'. We are a guard oriented team which hurts DD's development somewhat.

I see a kid that doesn't have the light switch progression but methodical. The worst thing that happened to him was our MSU game when he hit all those 3s. He began orienting to the perimeter. He's corrected that somewhat but he is still developing. Loads of patience with him, as he is still in school (pun intended).

He'll figure it out next year.
