Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4169640, member: 1414"] Bah. He is better at everything on the offensive end than Whaley is, even rebounding. So it's not that. He's a better ball handler than Polley and one of the best screeners on the team (Whaley has been awful setting screens, never sets his feet and I don't know that Polley has ever set a screen at UConn). On defense he is a better shot blocker than Whaley in the post, and is certainly vastly better than Polley. His challenges there come on the perimeter, and if he is covering a guy who can shoot, Hurley seems to struggle with playing him despite his length allowing him to bother and even block outside shooters. He is a really good weakside help defender, often bailing out our guards when they get burned. [/QUOTE]
