I remember people on this board saying Furphy wasn't going to get minutes this season. He would've gotten minutes last season, and would've been at least our third best player. Kid is legit.

It would've been even better if he could've convinced Dash Daniels to come over with him. I like his game, too.

Dash has been horrible today.

The 3pt numbers are misleading cause he took at least a couple bailout shots for his team. His shot looked really good when he was set and open.

He's shot 47% for COE over the past 3 years in something like 80 games on 180 attempts. Consistently around 40% in international play. 0 concerns about the shooting. Just gotta get faster when those D1 defenses get wind of his flamethrower jumper

Yeah - one wasn’t even a shot, just a leaning prayer at the end of the shot clock where he was just trying to get fouled or get it on the rim. And he also had one blocked and had another do 3 laps around the rim and come out.

Furphy plays great every time I've seen him but this was against a team full of lottery picks/first rounders/#1 pick next year. There should be no questions about this kid. He can score, pass, rebound, knows how to play D despite being an average at best run jump athlete at this level. He's good at everything and just knows how to play.

He's going to be like Cam in that people are going to look at him and think that guy doesn't look like a basketball player and then he cooks everyone. Throw in the competitiveness/not backing down from anyone, first to run over and pick his teammate up and every UConn fan will love him with fans across the country either loving him or hating him.

I think his floor game can improve from what he showed today too (leading to the 1 asst/4 tos). He had a few bad habits - at least today. He dribbled into bad spots on the floor a lot, hemming himself in the corner with nowhere to go, and threw some ill-advised crosscourt passes. But that can be coached into him easier than his knack for scoring (such as he made tough runners in the paint with both hands today).

And Australia basically played pick up basketball - very little floor spacing, ball movement, screen setting, etc. Some of the shots they threw up were hilarious - guys shooting over two defenders and not even looking at the rim. Being in a more cohesive system with months of practice will hopefully draw his floor game out.

Big thing he's going to have to work on is help positioning. Something I noticed going back to high school. He's always worried about his matchup in the post and often doesn't get in help-side position. Leads to fouls (he picked up 2 in like 3 minutes) and opponent getting layups he doesn't get to.

Give him time. He hasn’t guarded one of UConn’s folding chairs yet.

You see the floor game with his COE team a bit more. 2.8 AST to 2.1 TO. Not a PG by any means but better.

Agreed though. Learning the spots to initiate and using that right hand to get out of trouble when they shade his strong hand will be a learning piece
