I think Tristen will be an upper half second round pick but the biggest thing is I think he's ready to play in the NBA. He wasn't ready last year and wouldn't have been drafted. Karaban could be an upper half second round pick now but I don't think he would make the NBA now and that puts you behind the 8 ball and makes life really difficult making it in the NBA.
I think if Alex gets feedback he is a 2nd rounder he probably comes back.
Especially if the input is that he is in the lower half.
You don't think he'll play a more prominent role on this year's team? He also ended the year on a bit of a three point slump, which I don't expect to continue. Last year Donovan was expected to go low first round, high second round. He stayed and will likely be a lottery pick. Well I don't Karaban making a jump like that, I could see him moving up with a good run this year.
I think it’s more of a Kentucky panic mode as they lost 90% of their team and need to have bodies. But also, it’s the same mentality that Duke, Kansas and NC have to recruit all the best talented HS 5* and portal transfers, better known as the extremely gluttonous hoarding disorder.
He could be but at least he will get drafted unlike last year.
I think some signals are getting crossed and tea leaves read wrong on the Trillycord.
Take a trip back to local CT and you’ll find some hapless 22-30 year olds give up on life and start Only Fans pages. There you can pay $10 a month to see “special content.” I’m guessing some are more successful than others.
According to UConn, I’ve been helping pay the cost of tutors and academic aids as well as the cost of attendance. Next year, I’ll be paying for the cost of equipment and uniforms. Fun stuff.
You should probably learn your audience before you say anything.
He’d play a huge role. I just don’t know how much that helps for NBA. This ain’t 1994 any longer
Not to spoil it for you - but Mahaney's stats are going to look much better in a better offense and with different shot taking responsibilities.
An experienced ball handler is what Mahaney is, it's not a concern anymore
The good news is you don’t need to worry about this anymore with Mahaney.
Mahaney played for a defense first, extremely slow tempo, mediocre offensive team. He had lots of shots at the very end of the shot clock which skewed his FG% to the lower end. He will now be on a team that finished #3 and #1 in offensive efficiency the last 2 years and will be surrounded by much better players. I think he's perfectly capable of shooting 45% and 40% from 3 this season.
I'll trust Hurley on this one. But Mahaney is an investment
Why would that spoil it for me? I want that for him. I actually saw every single game stat for Mahaney. I want the kid to do great and for Uconn to not miss Steph and Newton on its way to another chip.
