My problem with that now is mostly timing. This is the part of the season when all things are possible. When one's mind should be thinking best case scenarios. This is the year! If it isn't, I'll let reality hit me down the road. What good is doing it's job in advance?
They are kinda ugly regardless. Not very good form on those floaters
I'm pretty sure he was a starter in the ACC and is a senior. So he's played plenty of games. That said, Hawkins will be good too.
When you're about to unleash the Kraken, you don't show people the Kraken. Spoils the fun really.
I would suggest that last year's National Championship team never really figured out who their PG was, they had two, and their SF had more assists than one of them. We have three guys who can generate significant assists, and do other things (shoot, score at the rim, block shots, rebound). If it's a problem, it's a problem most teams wish they had.
He was referring to Karaban
I'm pretty sure Karaban hasn't played a game in the ACC and isn't a senior. But tell me more.
Ahh...I saw Alleyne and not "and Karaban". Either way, Hawkins can shoot.
You got the pipe part right
I thought of them, this team is actually constructed similarly to them. They had more firepower at the swing positions than we do but our big is better than theirs.
Yep. Adama certainly better on offense, maybe not defense but it's close. One of the reasons I talk about how Samson can really put this team over the top is because that's what Wilson did for KU. Not the same player, but there are some similarities in what they can bring at the 4. Wilson missed most of his freshman year with a broken ankle.
If Samson can give us even close to his production this team will likely become scary.
Over the top? Barely seen Samson play for UConn but you are projecting that he has BE starter talent?
I'm very confident I've never seen anyone suggest Andre would or should run the point full time. At this point I'm just honestly confused what your point is. The whole exchange started because you took exception to someone suggesting that the team isn't in trouble if Andre is handling point duties at times and now we've worked all the way to you suggesting that his ability to handle some of the point duties "is huge".
Hurley thinks there could be lottery talent in there. It's not in the least bit far-fetched he's a starter. He's one of the three options for that 5th starter spot and the other two options have never played a minute for UConn.
Not arguing but we've seen so very little of him on the floor except maybe garbage time. Is he excelling in practice?
Those comments are coming from Dan Hurley who is watching him every day in practice. Connect the dots
Yeah we'll I remember Calhoun making promising practice comments. Dots wouldn't always connect.
Correct, which is why it's not a given that it'll translate to games. But you asked if he's looking good in practice
Agreed. That being said if and this is a big IF he can handle the ball and not turn over and attack the basket consistently he could work out at the point especially with his size and athleticsm it could turn into a strength. But thats a lot of ifs.
I don’t know but I’m concerned
I think a lot of people are waiting for him to live up to the hype that preceded his coming to Uconn and maybe that's not his fault. I am hoping for the best for him and every other player on the team.
Those poor twins didn’t know what hit them between Bazz and Boat. If they weren’t Kentucky, I might have felt bad for them.
