Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5272693, member: 1268"] This is the kind of stuff that always sets up for disappointment. Stew hasn’t once in his UConn career been a kid to put the ball on the floor. Can you think of one instance in his entire UConn career where he took the ball on the perimeter and beat his man on the floor to the rim? So now he’s going to become that? He isn’t that. Wishful thinking. It’s not his profile. So what, now we want 4 guys on the floor that can’t create their own shot and Silas? AK was a disaster putting it on floor last year, it was cringe worthy. It was the same shoulder pump at the 3pt line, head down charge forward thing every time, telegraphed. Solo looks about as natural as the tin man going to the rim. Solo could get better but I’d say will still have a ceiling. Key next year will be exactly how good is Mullins? I think we know what we are getting in Silas, but who is going to that other guy that can create their shot and put pressure on the defense not to extend? McNeeley shot 39.5/34.5% btw. Nothing to write home about but not nearly as bad as what was suggested above. [/QUOTE]
