As I recall the situation Roscoe wanted to be a 3 when he came to Uconn,  He proved he could not consistently hit a three pointer and lacked a handle.  JC being the realist said the staff sees you as a 4.  Roscoe got the picture and focused on rebounding as his way of continuing to develop and play.  When I looked at Polley this season I saw that his shoulders looked much more developed.  JC used rebounding drills with regularity.  KO and Hurley have this approach of spreading the floor which is prototypical NBA.  I get that.  You still need someone to rebound besides the guards.  Sadly, reminds me in a way of Chuck A. who used to like the perimeter and he was like 6-11 and 260 lbs but hands of stone.  I don't really know enough about the comparative athleticism of Polley vs Roscoe but Roscoe was pretty fearless about throwing his body around was not afraid of contact. If you were expected to rebound with JC you pretty much had to have that.  I'll leave it at that.
