But also just a lot of subtle comments like the one in this article when he was talking about the roster that made Karaban appear to have the edge at the 4. Mostly the parts in bold about pulling Samson quickly if Karaban was healthy, and about loving the 4 spot so wanting to find minutes for Samson at the 5 that made it seem to me that Karaban had the edge pre-injury [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theuconnblog.com/2022/11/4/23439378/uconn-huskies-mens-basketball-coach-dan-hurley-on-the-roster-toughness-and-more[/URL] [HEADING=3]On Samson Johnson and Alex Karaban at the four spot[/HEADING] [I]“I got some good advice to stop talking about the NBA and my players. I’m not going to prognosticate that way, but Samson has a high ceiling. [B]Alex being hurt helped him because he was able to play through mistakes in the first scrimmage, where I might have pulled him quick.[/B] It was good for him to process things quicker on the court. Once he can do that, he can unleash his talent. He as much physical ability as anyone I’ve had here.” “[B]I love the four spot right now. We’ll experiment maybe with playing Samson and Alex together with Samson at center,[/B] because those two guys make a real difference from an offensive standpoint. Samson brings different things to both backboards, with his athleticism, slashing, and above the rim play. Our fours are young but they’re talented.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
