Tom has nothing but raves for Stewart and McNeeley, suggesting that Stewart has Caron Butler potential and acknowledging that McNeeley is probably a one-and-done. This again underscores the question of how to keep Karaban, Stewart and McNeeley on the floor at the same time. No likely way except to play McNeeley at the 2 or Karaban at the 5. Moore is also high on Ball, which complicates the decision. I'm thinking that we'll see AK at the 5 in any and all situations where we can get away with it defensively. There's no question we want all three on the floor offensively. It's going to come down to interior defense.

Thank you for sharing this it was a pleasure listening to Coach Moore he’s the best. Stories were great, history was cool learned some stuff about him. UConn and Coach Hurley are so lucky he’s been part of the program, JC too!

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview the cast of characters did a nice job with questions.

Thinking about it, the surprise of this season may be the minutes Stewart gets at the 5. It's the best way to keep our four best players in the game and our three best shooters on the perimeter: Karaban, McNeeley and Ball.

mahaney was over 35% from deep last year so you have to put him ahead of ball going into the season. you can get those 3 onto the floor easily without sacrificing so much size: diarra / mahaney / liam / alex / reed

Anything about Mahaney? I feel like we hear Ball in every report we get on the team but haven’t heard much about Mahaney.

I’m super curious to see how they can get all of Liam, Stewart, and AK on the floor too.

There’s always the Ball, Liam, Stewart, AK, big lineup but I know the board doesn’t like that idea lol

If Stew becomes Caron with the rest of this roster………..sheesh.

Rough listen, pod equipment being moved all over the place, could hear all the phlegm and spit in the pod hosts mouths, guys biting into food while Tom was talking, good grief
