Kwintin Williams article

Size isn't a problem at all, the lack of experience could be a huge problem though. This is the least experienced team I've ever seen as a UConn fan.

Inflated yeah - Carlton is not 6-10
 
As for Williams - you know Chief is the last one who is generally impressed with dunkers vs. basketball players. However, this dude is serious in the gym. If he applies this level of work to the skills side, he is going to be very special. Chief CONFIRMED!

He's definitely a very hard worker and it looks like Kwintin is in a great S&C program. I'm optimistic. When does he get on Campus?

The thing he will have to learn to do is to spend the time working on stuff he is not already elite on and reign in the jumping a little and save it for games - that impact isn't the best thing for knees or backs long term.

If he knows how to play the game, as in smart and fundamentally sound on both ends, they may have hit pay dirt.

I just don't think that's the case though. The kid has only played one year of basketball, literally.

He looks to be coordinated and maybe a little bit slightly athletic, which can make up for a lot. He has any high potential if hes willing to dedicate himself to the "boring" parts of the game. Drilling skills, rotations, footwork, etc.

Waaat? He's one of the most athletic dudes I've seen in the last decade.
 
With his athleticism, could he be similar to the college version of Cedric Ceballos?

Was trying to think of a similar player and that was closest I could come up with. Obviously Ceballos turned into a great pro and I'm not implying the same trajectory for this kid.
 
I keep saying it he remind me of Stix. If can come in and give us what Stix did his junior year - rebound, block shots, lock down on defense, and finish everything in the pain that would be great for the team

Only 1 year in JC I know but by no means does that tell us anything about what he knows about the game. Granted he may be raw fundamentally but if he gets it he will learn faster than some who have donned the uni as of late. I don't know how anyone can say I don't think so with the minimal media we've been given? Seems like a hardworking intelligent kid, like his chances to be a 10-15 minute kid at the minimum. But who knows?

Probably more realistic to hope for Sticks as a freshman.

Yes if only someone who's played 1 year of organized basketball can give us what a 5 star player gave us his junior year of college.

Because of the jumper I was thinking Shawn Marion. I expect the d to catch up

what I mentioned stix was known for. He didn't have a jumper but he was quick and athletic, just like kwintin but kwintin is larger
 
This kid will make me watch warm ups this Fall. If he puts a few of these down in a game, it will blow the roof off. Most are high on Zion as a power dunker, but this kid is a next level jumper with hang.

I admit I have football of the brain but i can't help but think football when I see this kid.
Nasty TE or maybe even a big receiver.

Not to say I don't like him for the basketball team just I can't help but think football when I see him

I think basketball. I see David Thompson, Clyde Drexler, Harold Miner, Julius Erving and Norman Bailey all rolled into one. Dickie V. is going to gush over this kid.

I can't remember more of a wild card UConn basketball team.
They could either go to the sweet 16, or finish 13-17.
I'm excited.

I would be thrilled with a Sweet 16, but I think that's asking a lot from a team with only 2 players who have played more than a couple of games together.
