Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2427272, member: 37"] Not sure how you came to the conclusion I'm assigning blame to Alterique. I'm claiming a lot of posters in this forum are knocking the kid and insisting KO limit his playing time and that thinking is ridiculous. But I argued against that thinking in other threads. So perhaps I'm commingling the two arguments without predicating it on the original statements I made in another thread. My position: Gilbert is a special player and UConn will go as far as his development and the development of one capable big. Terry, Christian, Anderson and Jalen are givens imo although they will not be at the top of their game every game. But that was the case of all good UConn teams. When one player had an off night there were two others who could step up. My position: Terry made an asinine statement if we believe Taylor accurately quoted him. People are angry at the slow starts and are using the statement to direct their anger towards KO, Terry and Jalen because it's one thing to physically fail but it becomes a whole different matter if the attitude is bad which results in slow starts. IMO the statement is more than likely incorrect if you watch Jalen's play in the first ten minutes and incorrect if you watch Terry's play in the Colgate game. So why did he make it? Maybe he went gaga over Taylor and was CHA or maybe my statement has some basis. However I don't need to defend it as you suggest. What I do know is watching the games the evidence does not support the statement. The weak link in the slow starts was Gilbert play on offense imo. But I support KO's decision to give the keys to the kid because I maintain he's an important cog for the overall season. [/QUOTE]
