Message: [QUOTE="Deleted at users request, post: 4706563"] There was a lot of talk before the season about Andre playing a big PG role as I'm sure [USER=6271]@navery12[/USER] would say. I can't find the article but he was a big advocate of that based on Hurleys comments. He adjusted midseason to have him play more of a Draymond Green role as he says here. [B]Meanwhile, Hurley was looking for ways to unlock Jackson, his most dynamic player, and combat the defensive adjustments teams had made that forced Jackson into more perimeter jump shots. Teams would often use Jackson’s defender to help double-team UConn’s centers on post touches without the threat that Jackson would hurt them from three. Hurley countered by involving Jackson more as a cutter and screener in the offense in a role Jackson compared to Draymond Green’s with the Golden State Warriors. “To be honest with you, coaching mistakes during the season or just took me too long to get Andre to the places where he could still be one of the biggest impact players in terms of winning and losing,” Hurley said following the Elite Eight win over Gonzaga. “There’s not many players in the country that impact the game like this guy does. Once I got better as a coach, and Andre—I wasn’t putting him in a position to be successful. And since we’ve unlocked that code, he’s been unbelievable.”[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.si.com/college/2023/03/30/uconn-final-four-losing-stretch-ultimate-potential[/URL] [/QUOTE]
