Here is a report from the horse's mouth.
DD- has been shooting "lights out" and has been the best shooter on the floor after JL He has been better then the staff expected and it will be hard to keep him off the floor this year. They are loving what they are seeing- great range- high percentage of shots going in the basket from all over the floor.
AO- Is very very happy AD is playing for UCONN. He realized he was not going to make the NBA as a center and is thrilled to be able to showcase his skills and play the 4 this year. He is pumped up and ready to show he can play at the next level.
NG- He has been the "surprise" so far of all the returning players. He has shown he is a much better player then last year. He is stronger, understands the game better and his shot has been dropping at a much better clip then last year. All around just plain better. They see him playing an important role this year.
RS- Playing much better then last year. Better looking JS- more shots going in the basket. Also he is much stronger as well and they think he will switch between the 3 and 4 to give AO a rest. Big jump from last year to this year as we have all hoped.
JL- All the reports are true. The words used were "a completely different player then last year/ new level of player" he has been a beast and the best player on the floor. Doing it all- nothing more to say except glowing reviews.
RB- has shown great skills and they are impressed with him. He will make freshman mistakes but expect to see him on the floor like Bazz last year and to give Bazz time to rest at point. Athletic abilities off the charts for a player his size.
AD- About what we expected- awesome! Great teammate- can pass the ball really well out of the post and has impressed on all levels.
Those are the main comments. It appears TO will be the one squeezed the most for minutes compared to last year. They may try to get him minutes at the 5 at times if the matchups allow.
Sounds pretty good no? We will have quality and depth off the bench. Not many teams can go this deep if this report proves to be accurate. We know how the staff like to "be creative" when talking about the team- but I want to believe it's all 100% on the money.
WE ARE DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
