I believe Larrier will be a Husky. One source compared Purvis to Dyson in terms of athletic ability. Have to see more on his decision making ability quite frankly.
Purvis is definitely a better athlete than Dyson, he's close to John Wall and D. Wade.I believe Larrier will be a Husky. One source compared Purvis to Dyson in terms of athletic ability. Have to see more on his decision making ability quite frankly.

Daniel Hamilton is the best scorer in the class of 2014. Barring injury, he will start. He is simply too good to not start.You are assuming he is going to come in and either start over a 5 star guard that is 2 years older than him or a Junior that also averaged double figures as a freshman. Unless Purvis plays the 1 there is very little chance of Daniel Hamilton starting from day 1.
For most UConn fans yes. But this group no. Fun exercise as long as people don't get too enamored with their positions. What I love the most is dreaming about all the possibilities.The 2014-2015 season is way too far away to be arguing about what our starting lineup will be. A whole lot could happen in 1 year.
As far as the point guard position, I am always skeptical that a guy at college age can transform into a PG. A PG ha a mindset that's difficult to teach if the guy doesn't have the mental approach.
Virtually every trend at the highest levels of basketball has put this outdated idea to bed. (And to anticipate your response, no, I'm not downplaying the mental aspect of playing point guard, I'm just saying that in the modern game the idea of a pure point is outdated and guys are routinely converted from shooting guard and wing to something resembling a modern point guard, and not at the college level, but after playing another position at the college level and becoming a point guard in the NBA.)
I clearly meant everyone after Taliek, as I'd explained in the previous paragraph.Taliek Brown left a mark in the NBA? Nolan Smith wasn't a true point. And I think scheye ended playing point for that team.
Don't underestimate a point guard who makes everyone else better. Quite frankly, my guess is you never played the game, because if you did you would instantly get it.
NBA trends do not equal NCAA trends. The last title-winning point guard who wasn't drafted was Taliek - guards, specifically point guards who can manage the game, are still a must if you want a banner.
2013: Siva
2012: Teague
2011: Kemba
2010: Smith
2009: Lawson
2008: Chalmers
2007: Green
2006: Green
2005: Felton
2004: Taliek
Only Taurean Green and Nolan Smith haven't left a mark in the NBA (and Siva, as of yet), though Green has been very successful in Europe and IMHO is NBA caliber.
You need a point guard to win a title. Purvis ain't it.
Can't wait for Fuchs to get here!You are forgetting the one who is the most athletic as well as the toughest
And most physical
Fuchs will defend all 5 positions. Match up problem.on offense Sf too weak. Guards to small pf too slow to defend him
Samuels aau teammate. And friend. Calhoun. Hs teammate and friend. Facey aau teammate and friend.
