No Okafor?

 

[Marat]

No Okafor?

I read something about him having an injury... Also no Caron Butler this time.

 

[Dogdeacon]

No Okafor?

The Boneyard proved that whatever UConn all-star team Okafor is on wins, so no point in having him I agree White is stacked, if Shabazz doesn't play Blue is in trouble.

Should be interesting. I think in the past virtually everyone was under 40, a few heavier guys played a bit (Brian Fair, Smitty at the time) but at least the first one was a very high level of overall athleticism. Now there is a Grand Canyon-sized athletic discrepancy between say 45yr old Murray Williams and 20yr old Andre Drummond (OMG he still isn't even 21 yet!!).

Too bad Burrell isn't on the White, with his superior natural athleticism he could have shut down Andre.

Not so sure:

If Stanley is in shape, then the blue can surely compete. Him and Rudy should be unstoppable near the rim.

Rip on the wing, along with AJ's stroke and Jerome's drives should make things very interesting. With Napier and Taliek distributing they are competitive.

So I like blue being that they look over-matched (i.e. classic UConn sqaud).

So what's the line on this game?? Seems like white -8 would be fair. Maybe the Mohegan can put this up in the casino

Bet the over.

My prediction:

Starters............Blue.......................White
PG....................Bazz......................KEA
SG.....................Rip........................Ben
SF......................Rudy.....................Ray Ray
PF......................Adrien...................Donyell
C........................Charlie..................Drummond

Match-ups I've always wanted to watch:
Bazz vs Kemba
Talik vs KEA
Dyson vs Gordon
Stanley vs DD
AJ vs Marcus Williams
Adrien vs Drummond

 

[Kembacity]

ugh, so upset I'm not going to this now. and by going to this I mean going to the casino to gamble and try to watch rich former Huskies gamble

 

[Marat]

My prediction:

Starters..Blue........White
PG.....Bazz.......KEA
SG......Rip....Ben
SF.......Rudy......Ray Ray
PF.......Adrien....Donyell
C....Charlie...Drummond

For the White team, Kemba has to start, in my opinion. So I guess that would move Gordon to SG.

 

[Sellersdwelr]

I heard that some of the current NBA players won't be allowed to participate because of the Paul George injury.

Do NBA teams just expect their players to not play basketball outside of the season?

 

[TheRogers]

For the White team, Kemba has to start, in my opinion. So I guess that would move Gordon to SG.

Skill wise I agree. I started KEA because he still has the skill set and out of respect to the first PG who got the ring...

 

[Marat]

Another article on this event. It says Calhoun thought about changing the format to play vs former Big East players or Duke alumni, but everyone wanted to keep it a Husky event.

[Calhoun's Court]

Was up at Mohegan Sun this morning and saw Travis Knight , Rudy Johnson, Rod Sellers and Dave Leitao walking around. Pretty sure I saw Boat too ( was checking my phone and I wasn't paying attention).

 

[3uconn]

Anyone know if the tickets are sold out? If not, what's the best option for getting tickets now?

Just checked Mohegan Sun's website -still available($28 each as best seats available)

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Man, that really puts it into perspective how many incredible players we've had over the years. I feel like almost every one of those guys is all-time favorite type. (except dyson...). What a job JC did

 

[uconnisgood]

Interested if Ollie recruits will play in this in future games hmmm....like maybe 4 years down the road I'm sayin

 

[tcf15]

So is Lasan the only player in this game who never played for Calhoun?

I guess that answers my q. Didn't see lasan. Yes I suppose. Cool.
