Facey Thread

[Husky Dad]

He deserves one. We have him next year too. Kid looks great.

 

[mauconnfan]

He looked good tonight.

 

[Kitaman]

He looks worse when on the bench. Ollie should max his PT with Brimah out. This is the time his development (and confidence) should be accelerated. Its him and Brimah next year. He also compliments Miller very nicely. I'm at a loss at the substitution patterns or reasons. He's a warrior and getting better, but can't improve watching from the bench.

 

[benjordan]

He has a lot of skills. He should model his game after Kawhi Leonard and Kenneth Faried, rebound the crap out of the basketball and the scoring will come.

 

[Huskybass]

Always liked Facey very much. It is really starting to click with him and its great to see. And he has a year and a half left. I am starting to see great things in 2016-17, but am still cautiously optimistic about this season.

 

[InKembaITrust]

Guys a flat out ball hunter rebounding. Wish Brimah had the hands that Facey has on the glass.

If he got the type of minutes this year that I feel he'll get next year I would not be surprised in the slightest if he averaged a double-double.

His work ethic and scrappiness is contagious

 

[CL82]

I'm sure if Calhoun were still coaching the team, he would have dubbed Kentan a "warrior" tonight. I could not be happier for Facey.

 

[Jaybo]

Love facey,not a true center but the kid try's! Next year I think the fours all his as a senior.this time with brimah out, and his extended mins,will pay off come tourney time.

 

[BoatShow]

We don't win without his defense tonight

 

[huskiesnyc]

Don't get why he didn't play more. Keep it up KFace

 

[CL82]

Keep it up KFace

Exactly! His intensity reminded me of Freeman tonight.

 

[joober jones]

I've been very impressed with his rebounding all season. He had a fairly decent shooting stroke his first two seasons and I'm surprised we've not seen any mid-range attempts this year.

 

[JimHurley]

I've always been a huge Facey fan. He is by a mile the best rebounder we have. He could be a deadly player is he improves his scoring.

 

[3rdbass]

He played very well on rebounding on the offensive boards and on defense. A total 180 from the Temple game.

 

[jdb50]

Big difference from Temple, he was a positive tonight. Hard to win without him.

 

[mauconnfan]

What's amazing about his ability to rebound is he usually never blocks out, he just goes to get it. I like his ability to rebound on the rim or above it and his hands are decent. Kid is getting better and I'm happy for him.

I've been very impressed with his rebounding all season. He had a fairly decent shooting stroke his first two seasons and I'm surprised we've not seen any mid-range attempts this year.

Facey said recently that Ollie told him we need him to play inside and concentrate on boards and putbacks, and we have other guys to shoot jumpers, so that's what he's been working on. He put the jumper aside and started playing old-school style 4 man.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

He has a lot of skills. He should model his game after Kawhi Leonard and Kenneth Faried, rebound the crap out of the basketball and the scoring will come.

Those are two very different style players, unless you were trying to say a combination of the two, then I understand

 

[caw]

His basketball IQ has grown leaps and bounds from his freshman year. Brimah being out could make this team a lot better down the road if he comes back even just at the level of earlier this year.

 

[mauconnfan]

Kentan had 7/5/5 and Phil had 7/4 - imagine these guys playing like this and AB back? We need to hold our serve for a while and we'll be fine.

 

[CTBasketball]

I'm probably in the minority, but Kentan (if he is out of foul trouble) should take some of Miller's minutes when we go small.

 

[gtcam]

No doubt about it, KF has improved from last year and I love it
I wish he would grab more balls than slap them and go up stronger with the ball but I think that will be forthcoming
I wonder, with the class coming in, what will that mean for his playing time next year?

 

[Waquoit]

Where was he Tuesday? He's gotta bring it every game. No excuses.

He will start at PF next year.

Is that really the way you spell tries? Please tell me you didn't get a degree from UConn.
