Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4720562, member: 10"] From Dave Borges: [I]Four of UConn's starting five for all three games were about as expected: Karaban, Newton, Clingan and sharpshooting Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer. Diarra, a senior, was a bit of a surprise as starting point guard, especially with McDonald's All-American and potential one-and-done lottery pick [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/uconn-coaches-pushing-potential-nba-lottery-pick-18267978.php']Stephon Castle [/URL]now on board. In truth, it made a lot of sense. Diarra is a respected, steady veteran. To simply hand over the starting point guard reins to Castle, even with his credentials, might not be the best way to go about things. Dan Hurley seemingly wants Castle to earn the starting job. Castle certainly earned it in Europe, leading the team in scoring (16.6 ppg) despite coming off the bench. Not known as a great shooter, he shot 18-for-29 from the floor and 3-for-7 from 3. Worry not, folks. Barring any injuries, UConn's starting five in its season opener in November will be Karaban, Newton, Clingan, Stewart (sic) and Castle. Book it.[/I] [B]Note:[/B] 100% certain he means Spencer and not Stewart. [URL unfurl="true"]https://the-boneyard.com/threads/five-things-we-learned-from-huskies-overseas-trip.193046/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
