Imagine a shorter, more agile version of Larry Bird, minus the inside game. He had that knack for reading the passing lanes, rebounding, moving to open spots on the floor. He had 138 steals, and I don’t think most of them were the one on one, I stole the ball from you type. He just picked off passes relentlessly. He read the game incredibly well. No UConn team has ever been more of a joy to watch than that one. Look at the stats. He averaged 3.7 steals a game, with Smith, Burrell and Tate combining for 5.9 more between then. The Lyman and Murray Williams each averaged 1 in limited minutes. As a team, 13 steals a game. [/QUOTE]
