Message: [QUOTE="USNA90, post: 2527762, member: 6230"] What exactly is it that all the "complimentary" and/or "athletic" players bring to this team? What role do all these "role players" play? It would be one thing if they had a guy who was a lights-out shooter they brought in for instant offense and to shoot free throws at the end of a game, or an offensively-challenged big who eats space in the center and can rebound - that's what role players do. UConn doesn't have those guys. From what I can see, it's basically Adams, Vital, Larrier, and then a bunch of "role players" who can't shoot, (based on tonight's performance) can't rebound, can't dribble, and can't pass. It's like this team has eight guys who do nothing more than bring five fouls to the table. Sad to say, but the talent on last year's team was head and shoulders above the talent on this team. Last year, UConn had at least six guys who you could potentially score (Adams, Vital, Brimah, Purvis, Jackson, and even Facey on occasion). To think I was hoping that this team would be better due to addition by subtraction. [/QUOTE]
