Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 2081976, member: 880"] On paper, a lineup of: Gilbert Adams Larrier Vance Enoch/Durham is nice. You will, for the first time in ages, have two guys who can definitely be triple threats (pass, drive, shoot) and create for themselves and others. Larrier, I didn't see enough of him to justify can be a third guy in that convo and Vance isn't far behind. I love this lineup. Should be three or four guys who can shoot it a bit and on paper we'd be athletic and fast. Praying the days of struggling to get to 60 are behind us. Now the questions... Is Gilbert's shoulder always going to be a problem? As someone who hurt their shoulderwhen he was 12, and STILL has lingering issues following multiple surgeries, etc, I know that shoulders do not heal very well. We only need to look at Ricky to see that. He hurt his shoulder his senior year of high school, twice more his freshmen year, and after that was always a bit tentative. The high flying freshmen Ricky vs. G-Town only reappeared in his last game; a damn good one at that. Is Larrier going to be the Larrier of old? We obviously did not see much of him, but it was clear that he was talented. Will his athleticism be compromised and will he play with confidence? See Durham. Durham: Will he be stronger and more confident athletically? Every once in a while you see this burst of quickness and explosion and you think he could Donyell 2.0. But then other times, he looks so stiff and tentative because he (naturally) is afraid of pushing it too much. Enoch: Will he be "the greatest offensive big man" at UConn, or will he be all show? Will he learn how to play even adequate defense instead of being an absolute sieve? [/QUOTE]
