Last year he peaked, this year he just looks old. Some guys primes end sooner than others. (Listening) Wait...he's 21? Maybe he's just not good.

Well according to huskymagic he will be a 1st round draft choice.
 
His go-to move is looking around at everyone incredulous he didn't get a call.

Because he brings so little to the table, doesn't rebound or help on defense it makes little sense as to why we do not play smaller since every other team is smaller and quicker.
 
It's sad when you see these old timers hanging around a bit too long.

Seriously, there is no way AO ends up in the NBA. No way.
 
Leagues overseas pay well. Even McGhee from Pitt was solicited.
 
Alex need to find one thing he does well and build on that.

He is trying to force his offense and that has been a disaster.
 
he should only be allowed to crash the boards and play defense, his finesse game is terrible
 
he and Roscoe seem to have deteriorated since last year. not sure why. the players peaked? something else going on? lack of coaching and developing them? this team is turning into a team that is laborious to watch.
 
They all seem so sleepy and listless

They seem so sleepy and listless. I'm used to it from Lamb but it is the whole team now. Remember that song by by Afroman?
 
There always was talk about how hard Alex worked in the weight room and how he practiced hard. Usually that is really important, but it doesn't mean , if you don't work hard during the actual game (getting lose balls, using your body to box out and not get outworked). Alex does have a descent body and because of his low rebounding numbers the only answer is that he is getting outworked and not using fundamentals.
 
He can't catch. It's been his problem since day 1 of his UConn career.
