It does feel like Dan Hurley is going to have to run configurations that allow Diarra to rest and to also keep him on the bench in reduced minutes if he’s going to be of any value this year. He looks like a shell. Guys like that can’t be valuable at 60%. He’s all quickness and hustle, if you take that away he’s basically neutered.
Hass was playing really well until his injury issues.
It may be that Nowell just wasn't ready to go @ Creighton. I'd be disappointed if it was a coaching decision. He could have helped wear down Ashworth.
Nowell was available to play last night.
And the reality is that none of us really know what he brings to the table. Everyone is banking on a recruiting ranking.
6-8 weeks will be needed to get him to 100%, or at least with my Husky Blue goggles that is how I interpreted Hurley's statement. Maybe a few weeks of rest gets Hassan better. We know this for sure, UConn should not need him this weekend for the Seton Hall game.
Let him rest as much as possible until tourney action and then shoot that knee up with an antiflammatory for one last Hassan run.
These are his per 40 numbers. It's not just recruiting rankings. He's been good. He needs to play.

With the hook he used on that move he was getting by anybody
This doesn’t make sense. Are you arguing Cam was our lead guard?
Then no glory for us. But it’s not like he’s trying to preserve his draft stock. He can give whatever he has left.
On second thought, just give the ball to Liam and get the hell out of the way. That works too.
Meh. Agree to disagree.
I started diving into this the other day. So far it’s slimmm to find a 6’4” pg that gets to the line, shoots at a decent clip from 3, isn’t a senior, and not a major prospect. I’ve only really found pj haggerty from Memphis. I like Donavan dent of New Mexico, but he’s only 6’2”
No you didn’t, all you posted was a confusing statement that didn’t contain a single one of those words
I said, from an athletic standpoint, there isn’t some big theoretical difference between them. They’re both similarly below-the-rim players. Cam, with his extra two years of experience, used his knowledge of the game to put himself in good positions to score, defend, or rebound. With two extra years in college, Cam is heavier (and likely stronger), which supports rebounding and driving. If Aiden gets heavier and stronger to catch up to Cam said regard, all that separates them is their experience and headiness. With that, the rebounding and driving through contact can naturally follow.
There's no need to die on this hill.
Likely Saturday - if he could have played, he would have last night.
Thanks for looking into this. From checking with Memphis too the other starting guard is 6’ Hunter so I’m not even sure if PJ is the true PG.
You’re clueless. Go back to last year’s games and there are numerous examples of that. Aiden will never be anywhere near what Cam is. Like to wager a bet that Mahaney gets drafted in the next year or two?
Take a look at Bennett Stirtz at Drake. Ideal.
