PF/C Juwan Durham (Signed LOI on 11/11)

[3rdbass]

Completely disagree. 90% of Enoch's touches have been on the block, and he has a reliable jump hook with either hand. Plus I don't think he's hit a jumper this year.

Not to mention he's 6-foot-11, 250 lbs with a 7-foot-5 wingspan. Dude's a pure center.

I agree. Durham is more of KG 4.

I don't think one measurement listed there is true, if we're speaking about Enoch. Maybe his wingspan cause I won't pretend to know his wingspan, but 7'5 is enormous

I'm thinking a "rich man's Facey," but hey - let's shoot for the moon!

You're right - it's actually 7-foot-3:

Or it was when he was 16. We should hold a UK-style scouting combine where we could get the measurements for real.

I'd like to know the size of purvis hands. It'd be nice if they could get the info privately and put it on their website or something. Fighting about the size of players is pointless once they get to college.

This doesn't sound good out of context.

Well never said he was as good but the way he plays the position. Definitely not a center in college at the upper levels.

 

[AdamaNation]

But I do think Durham and Brown would fit well in a front court together, which would probably lead to Ollie playing a 6'11 PF for the first time.

Wasn't Charlie v 6-11?

Whatever works best for the young man. I like his attitude and if not feeling 100% heading into October while realize the grueling change in physicality in the NCAA, maybe redshirt is best, maybe not. Can't wait until the young man is a Husky nonetheless, love his game and potential.

C'mon HFL would you like mau to explain to you the significance of knowing how tall guys are?

 

[Bonesbrigade]

I agree. Durham is more of KG 4.

Better watch out...I made the same comparison a couple of months ago and nearly got my head chopped off...I'm exaggerating but I do tend to agree with you in terms of his skill set and body type....

 

[Scottzer]

When I watched Duram's mixed tape, he looks a lot like a taller Donyell Marshall. When healthy, he's athletic, good rebounder, blocked, and also has a decent shot. I'm on the team that calls him a power forward (even if it's more of a finesse power forward).

 

[Huskyforlife]

I don't know. Why?

 

[Dogbreath2U]

I don't know. Why?

Oh, another 6'11" power forward on the Huskies?

 

[mauconnfan]

Oh, another 6'11" power forward on the Huskies?

Or is he a "stetch center"?

 

[James]

I'm gonna bet he redshirts, the summer going into freshman year for d1 players is key for conditioning, the jump from Tampa prep to uconn is enormous. being out till fall ... Just don't see how he'll be ready.

Both out for his whole senior season as well as the injury would lead you to believe this will be best. But you never know with these kids when they want something bad enough...we'll see right?

 

[JSM1970]

It probably depends on who is here next year between Purvis, DHam and Brimah.

All we probably know for sure is Adams at the 1, Larrier @ the 3.

[CTBasketball]

If he's not ready then redshirting would be best. He's not a one and done so saving a year would be OK.

With a frontcourt of Brimah, Enoch, Facey, Diarra, and Larrier/Hamilton with smaller lineups I think we'll be fine.

I didn't realize he played under Ollie
