Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3112480, member: 1329"] Who was their "solid" 3rd guard off the bench that forced 5* Jahvon Quinerly into DnP's? Joe Cremo? Come on. Cremo didn't even play well at that level (below average shooting from both 3 and 2, bad turnover numbers). How about 4th guard? Quinerly basically got squeezed out for minutes by fellow freshman Saddiq Bey (#138 recruited freshman, because Samuels could play the 2) and fellow freshman Cole Swider. Brendan Adams only got 2 DnPs for UConn this year, despite our 2 best players on our whole roster playing exactly his position and probably our next best player also being his position and him being for most of the season the 5th guard. Villanova had 3 other players on the whole roster shorter than 6'7" on a team that was somewhat underachieving and he got 6 non-injury DnPs. Free throw rate is how often you get to the line relative to how many other shots you take, not how often you make those FTs. Both Jalen and Jahvon were very subpar in this area. Getting to the line is on average more productive than just about any other type of shot if you're better than a 65% FT shooter. #2 is a character thing, which is certainly relevant considering Wright doesn't have the reputation of a rash, judgmental, or vindictive coach. Who transferred away from UConn instead of playing for Calhoun that ended up being any good at all? [/QUOTE]
