Hurley seeing Tyler Polley, Sid Wilson as stretch fours in small ball lineup

"Tyler Polley and Sid Wilson as stretch fours" kinda solidifies the starting line up with Jalen, Al, CV, Tyler and JC .

Yeah I always thought we would start out small at 4 to begin the season. I'm sure Cobb if he has improved will see time there as well as the 5 especially with Yawkee injured.

Polley will likely start at the 4. Going to sit back and watch the Polley hate come pouring in.

Polley started to look a lot better towards the end of the year last season

If he can make outside shots and play with confidence, no hate at all from me. Last year, I just got frustrated watching him play scared.

I think Smith will start over CV. Starting both AG and CV is crazy small.

 

[UConnSwag11]

It’s really nice to hear a coach holding players accountable and saying it how it is

 

[Rico444]

If Polley got stronger this offseason I think he can be a mismatch at the 4. If not then he's going to struggle to defend the position.

By February Sid will be starting at the 3.

Daniels did pretty well at the 4

He knows defending the 4 is his ticket to playing time. He'll put in full effort. Daniels managed, so will Polley.

 

[Rico444]

He did, but he didn't get knocked around despite his thin frame. Polley struggled with it last year.

Can't like that enough.

Not sure why you think anyone hates Polley. He was our best outside shooter last year.

What I hate is playing a skinny wing at PF and a guard at SF. I don't like it as a style of play. I think the Diarra injury and failure of the other guys to step up is forcing this puny lineup. I don't think Polley has shown any ability to rebound, and it's the weakest part of Carlton's game. So that lineup will get killed on the boards, and manhandled on the defensive end down low.

 

[Dove]

Alterique =

This is smart. Hurley has said in the past that one of the problems with Adams was that he was too concerned with popularity, not enough with being a tough leader. So if people like him, you use THAT as motivation.

The Ollie-coached team probably.

Perhaps a Hurley-coached team will not get killed on the glass or in the paint. We shall see.

Hopefully he will. Just need to see it first.

Maybe right if he can convince CV to be productive coming off the bench while getting starters minutes as a 6th man
