Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5292792, member: 12414"] Made the comment a few times last year that he was in his own head and that had a significant negative draw in his execution and performance. There just had to be something missing for him to play so well in practice that NBA scouts were asking about him as a freshman. If you are a UConn fan you should be rooting for this kid/young man. The fact that he is still on our roster as a junior and that his younger brother decided to come to UConn is the most clear example that our staff has created the best culture in the college game. It will be interesting to see if he can out perform Mullins to be the starting wing. Demary, Ball, Ross/Mullins, AK and Reed Jr, with that last wing position being a dog fight between Ross and Mullins. My guess is that Ross will start the season in the starting lineup. Because so far he has been a practice player and as a junior he will out perform Mullins in early season practices. Hopefully, he plays well and that when Mullins takes over the starting spot because he is just to good a shooter not to pair with Ball and AK. If that happens then Ross will have to fight the mental impact and hopefully be a spark off the bench. I do think that Mullins could offer some instant offense off the bench but it is hard to imagine a player who is a clear one and done not starting by mid season. Did you see the hops he has in the video. Don’t sleep on Mullins athleticism. It is much better than I think we are giving him credit for as a collective fan base. [/QUOTE]
