If you could pick one past UConn player…who would you add to this team?

[Horatio]

I’d play Kemba or Chris Smith with RJ and we’d be a top five team. That would solve the ball handling and shooting issues. Ray doesn’t give you the ball handling that this team needs. Sorry

Would love to see Marcus Williams on the same team as Jackson

Bazz, Kemba, Boat, or Khalid… a premier ball handler who can create.

I am going tweak this question and stick to the Hurley era on this question; I would add Vital. Can you imagine Vital on this team? With his toughness and ability to make his shot, get open, make a three. Would be so ideal right now for our squad

Partially because he deserves it too. Missing out on some winning. But no said taliek oddly. We need a ball handler.

The Smith, KEA, Kemba and Bazz choices are not just their individual talents at dribbling, it was their ability to impose their will to win on their teammates. They absolutely did not accept less than max effort and performance from their fellow Huskies.

And that has been lacking this year. While Cole has been taking on more minutes and a larger burden than many here want part of that is no other guard or wing taking any pressure off of him. Cole is doing his thing but he hasn't been able to get others to do theirs. And that isn't necessarily a shot at Cole.
Learning how others need to he led is a learned skill which needs adaptation as situations change. That is what separates the greats from the very goods.
