If you could add any former Husky

Taliek, because he would only care about distributing the basketball. The team doesn't need another scorer.

I think they do. Lamb can't take a statue off the dribble right now either.

 

[Gurleyman]

Rip was never great off the dribble, either. Of his 27 points against Duke, I think there was only once when he took a guy off the dribble in the halfcourt (resulting in a fadeaway bank shot along the left baseline after beating Carrawell to his left). Rip also hit a couple baseline fadeaways off the dribble in transition against unsettled defenses (one early after Khalid dove on the floor and shoveled it to him to make it 9-6 Duke, one middle of the second half to give us the lead around 52-50). He just had good screeners and two guys who could get him the ball when open. Khalid's not a bad choice for this team - my opinion was Caron filled more of a need, but I can see the KEA argument too.

As stupid as this will sound, Craig Austrie.

I'm just curious Joobs. How stupid do you think this sounds?

 

[Joobie]

I think a little "Marshall Law" would be nice...

Justin Brown or Ace

Anyone who doesn't answer Khalid is crazy. A point who can penetrate and create shots for himself and others, and organize and run the offense.

I see your point but Butler quite literally could do anything he wanted to in college including drive and dish, rebound, shoot, play defense, and most importantly be the man. How much better would Napier/Boatright/Lamb look with Butler on the floor?

If you take Khalid, you still have issues at the 3 and the frontline is still a poor rebounding frontline.

Butler. He was an absolute stud.

I always pick Caron in one of these threads, but no love for RayRay?

"The Dove"

Yes, don't know if he'd help the most, but I'd love to just watch him play again.

Cup Cormier, no contest

At least get the poor guy's name right. It's Cupp. And he's the right answer when the opponent is Marathon Oil.

Rashad at the 3, problem solved

Rashad at the 3, problem solved

One of the great truisms of Connecticut Basketball: If Rashad Anderson isn't the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

From what the article a week or two ago said, I'd take D. Bev at this point.

My opinion is that there is less of an upgrade there unless you want to play Ray or Lamb at the 3 which Ray did do his junior year and Lamb has done a lot as well. Ray wasn't the staunchest of defenders, though he does add ball-handling help and backcourt depth.

It would be fun watching Ray and Lamb running around curls with defenders trying to figure out how/who to help with, but of course that all assumes the screeners do a good job and PG gets the ball to the cutter at the right spot.

That would def. make teams think twice about zoning UConn if Ray and Lamb were on the team together.

For that matter I'm surprised few have said Emeka. He pairs pretty well with Drummond in college (basically a much better Josh Boone) and he def. knew how to set screens and rebound not to mention play defense.

Wish granted

Can't believe I'm not seeing RIP's name getting more play...he was so money, always got us a score when we needed one...him or KEA.
