He was the best natural shooter on the team as a freshman even better than Rodney. He had a slow start but Once he got confidence he was a terrific shooter. Someone said 48% in Conference. That’s amazing. When he started clicking. UConn actually looked real good Winning 7 of 8 and battling SMU , Until JA hurt his ankle. I believe that would have been 8 of 9 . With a healthy JA we certainly win at ECU and become a real threat in the AAC tourney, Maybe the NCAA was out but that team could have been fun in the NIT. Whaley has better instincts and quickness defensively but was no offensive contributor.Polley showed flashes of shooting ability ,Jackson got the benefit of a short rotation so he played himself into being a confident shooter.We may never know about Polley as he will probably leave. Basically one more shooter and everyone on the team becomes better. As for the other two guys Enoch was better than DO and bigger than anyone we had . Poor footwork and an unwillingness to work on that , hampered his progress. Carlton has better moves but is less physical.. Enoch was a man Carlton is a kid. Durham was a great player at one time but whether he could ever get back to where he was is anyone’s guess. We did not see enough of him last year to judge. [/QUOTE]
