Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3147833, member: 1414"] Kyrie Irving is listed as 6’3” and 195. Curry is 190. So obviously you don’t need to be huge. Especially as a guard. And yet there are big powerful guards like Harden and Marcus Smart that make that size a weapon. I think the problem for UConn has been that we’ve faced a lot of teams who had big, powerful players, and we didn’t match up, or use what we had effectively against them. Akok doesn’t need to be massive. 225-230 would probably be his ideal NBA weight. Carlton lacks explosive athleticism and so should probably be as big and strong as he can get. Brendan Adams looks to me like a future power guard, who can use size and strength to create mismatches. Sid needs to get a little stronger and maybe add a few pounds, but not a lot. Sal knows what he’s doing. As for Durant, he was fairly skinny in college, but he’s taller than people think. He admitted he’s 6’10 3/4” barefoot. Weighs a bit over 240. 7’0” in shoes. [/QUOTE]
