Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4805600, member: 1026"] With respect to Solo Ball the arguments are just too dumb. Solo is getting valuable PT with Castle out which will enable him to do more with fewer minutes before the month of December is over. It is a total waste of time to debate the evaluations of the small sample-size theater critics. But I thought the naysayers were evaluating Ross & Stewart as neither earning enough minutes nor contributing enough? For those two players I'd point out in the 1st two games (with Castle) they were at ~10mpg & vs cupcakes/garbage time. Are those 2 games substantially different than Samson Johnson's 13? Post Castle the sample size is still so small at 5 games and in the two 'real' games vs Indiana & Texas Stewart played 8 & 3 minutes and Ross played 3 & 0. Different than Johnson how? And I say ALL of this means NOTHING about their futures as its again very small sample size before December of their freshman years. I defy anyone to show pre-December amazing freshman stats for UConn players breaking into a lineup with 6 returning contributors/upperclassman (Newton, Spencer, Johnson, Diarra, Karaban, Clingan). And even if this occurred somewhere other than UConn, it wasn't for a team ranked #4 in the country looking to repeat as national champs. Play the freshman more?!
