How bout that

 

[husky429]

If he is our best player, and Jalen isn't dead, we have the best back court in the country. Love this!

 

[WvConn]

Yeah I appreciate this opinion here, but Jalen Adams is a better basketball player than AG. He's got more experience, more skill, more size. I'm not saying it's a huge margin, but Jalen is the face of the team.

 

[Guapo]

Can any of our insiders confirm?

 

[huskiesnyc]

Not surprising kid is a stud.

 

[UChusky916]

Nice to hear. But I think Jalen will have something to say about that. Having AG healthy will allow Jalen to play off the ball. His game will flourish this year.

 

[bazz&boujee]

y'all had vital starting too smh

 

[ctchamps]

Just hope there are no car analogies. This preseason hype is more for getting fan base and players excited. When the ball goes up in the air we'll learn just what is what.

 

[HawkHusky]

Guard U at it again.

 

[Walker11]

So much Troy Murphy in Tyler Olander.

 

[Kemba429]

Probably 2nd. Definately think JA will be on top.

 

[Waquoit]

Pardon me for not holding my judgement. Ajou Deng had buzz, Emeka Okafor didn't.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I don't doubt it.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Ive heard this as well. Also had heard this last fall before he got hurt.

Alterique is a great player. The best on the team? Doubt it. Besides getting fans excited, if the coaches are pushing this it's to get Jalen and Christian motivated to prove things wrong.

Guy was a McDonald's all American.

Yep, burger boy. If he was an Arby's roast beef sandwich @August_West would be all over him.

True, but Jalen is older and more experienced, not coming off a serious injury and was a more highly regarded and rated recruit than Gilbert. They were close, but Adams was the 5 star and AG a 4 star. Not that it really matters at all.

Hopefully he is better, as said, if true we should have the best starting backcourt in the country. But I have a tough time buying it.

 

[Palatine]

He was a great player in high school and looked very good in the few games he played last year. He could very well be our best player.

But the most important ability is availability and he has to prove he can stay healthy. He plays hard and he will hit the floor many times this year. My fingers will be crossed all year for this kid. But I am anxious about it.

 

[AntG168]

Ive been saying this all summer. Rique is special!

"Oh, he's the best player on the team," El-Amin replied.

You mean besides you and Richard Hamilton, right?

"I said, he's the best player on the team."

Out of Africa Forced to leave his home in war-torn Sudan at age nine and raised in Egypt and England 6'11" freshman forward Ajou Deng is bringing a world of talent to Connecticut

In all seriousness, I DO think AG is going to be awesome. But better than JA this year? Gosh, I doubt it.

Idk if he'll be clearly "better" but it'll be debatable because they are both going to be insanely good

 

[Guapo]

If he's our best player and Adams is Adams than this is a sweet 16 team, at least.

The thing about Deng....he could have been a tremendous college basketball player, but he had the worst people in his ear. Once they thought they had a superstar on their hands, they immediately thought they were better coaches than Calhoun. (And especially Leitao, who they seemed to have a vendetta against.)

Even at Fairfield, which became a true grease fire, Deng and Deng Gai responded to the crossfire by barely making an effort to play team basketball.

Similar to Majok, nothing good happens when you have handlers worried about their own bottom line.
