Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5137451, member: 12147"] Obligatory sentence about how the UConn offense is built on movement/action/isolations are bad etc etc.. But here are our options if we had to Aidan Mahaney - That's what he was brought in to be, and it just hasn't worked out yet. There is obviously a bunch of potential here so I don't think it's unrealistic to see him drastically improve as the season goes on. Remember Newton shot like 41% FG last year so it's not like we need the guy in that bailout bucket role to be a 45-50% shooter Alex Karaban - Honestly I just haven't seen it yet. Alex gets his baskets in the flow of the offense and I don't think he's comfortable just putting the ball on the ground and getting a bucket. We saw it against Texas last year so it's there if it has to be, but his game is not an iso scoring playstyle. His shooting form is a bit funky and it doesn't lend well to shooting off the dribble. But I won't complain if he takes a clutch 28 foot fast break 3, ultimate green light in those situations [B]Liam McNeeley. [/B]That's my guy. This dude isn't afraid of anything or anyone. The athletic limitations will be a problem with it, but he's the only psycho killer mindset guy I see right now. I want him taking those shots Solo Ball - Good for spot up clutch shots (Memphis), but I don't want the ball in his hands as a primary playmaker Hassan Diarra - Probably our best guy attacking the rim, but don't want to get into a position where we are relying on a whistle during a Diarra drive [/QUOTE]
