Steve Enoch!!

[ZenConn]

LOL. Easy. He was just representin a few alums.

Stepping on the baseline 3x - Selvie
Stepping on sideline 3x - Purvis
Getting stripped of the ball on the low blocks 3x - Mumu
Throwing the ball full court into the stands before the game is over 1x - Roscoe

Damn. I need to think of one more. Come to think of it, getting 11 turnovers is really hard. After 5, you shouldn't be getting the ball anymore LOL.

Simple really. The coach told him his place was in the lane. He didn't realize the coach meant on defense until the 11th 3 second violation.

 

[Gringo]

That has to be a misprint.

You know what wasn't a misprint - 17 rebounds. I'd prefer to dwell on that number because we don't have anyone who could do that in 2 games!

But 11 TO's is whacked

Maybe he was playing PG
he might be their best ball handler

How many turnovers?

How do we know what Enoch's stats would be with actual PT? Stone was surrounded by good players also unlike Enoch in garbage time. I also believe that the more time on the floor, you can learn what not to do. Just watch the foul ups and bone headed plays coming from our 5 freshman this year. I still believe that with his physical prescence he should have had more of a chance or at least equal to Facey who was unimpressive.

4/16 from 2 against smaller competition is not pretty. Between this and the 11 turnovers the other day, Enoch is tempering my expectations as to what he will be able to give UConn this year. Opportunity is there for Diarra and Jackson (and Durham if he doesn't redshirt).

Diamond Stone at the same stage of their basketball lives is a better player than Enoch, not really sure why this is so hard for you to understand.

Again my preference is to look at the 17 and 12 rebounds we've seen. We have no one to do that so there is something there to work with.

There is nothing to suggest that other guys on the roster couldn't do that in the same setting.

Oh okay because we all know the setting? Not saying your wrong but if you think we have someone on this roster who can get 17 boards anywhere you weren't watching this team sorry. No matter what the "setting" is you need to know how to do some things, they don't magically fall into your lap.

You guys want to hammer him go ahead, I will wait to see! His piece is important because we have too many who already have seemed to hit their ceiling. We need improvement somewhere in paint. And the new blood will help.

 

[jibsey]

The kid is doing well now and it seems that some want to shovel dirt on his potential. Lets give him some rope and see what he can be, he's the only one with the body for it. Yes some pain will come with that but so what?h

I'm quite sure Facey could get 17 rebounds 'anywhere' and given Brimah's rebounding rate was ahead of what Enoch's was last year, he probably could, too.

Enoch has a lot of tools physically and I'm as excited to watch him grow as the next guy, but there's also a tendency to glorify the unknown because of what we've seen (and haven't seen) from Facey and Brimah.

I would guess he is somewhat of a focal point for them in the paint. He is probably forcing a lot of shots he wouldn't normally take in the flow of the offense. He's shooting threes so anything is possible. As mau has said, at least he's rebounding, and he's getting some game practice.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Had 6 pts and 22 rbs roday but shot 2-17 apparently. This is getting a bit concerning

he looked pretty bad , i watched the whole game. not only did he get scored on a low by drivers he took a ton of horrible shots. and he was by the far the biggest dude on the court for both teams , hence the rebounding numbers.

 

[KemBuckets21]

I don't want to read too much into this, because when he is on the court for us he's no higher than maybe the 3rd or 4th option? In limited time last year he took shots within the flow of the offense and I, personally, don't recall many instances where he disrupted a possession by taking a shot he was unlikely to make.

I didn't watch thisgame, but hopefully he fought for some of those rebounds and had to box out a few times. If it's just that he's the tallest guy on the court and nobody else is taller than 6'5 then I guess we should just be grateful he snared a ton of rebs and didn't underachieve.

He still sux on d. no surprise there. Hope that comes with experience.

I must admit while I try to focus on the rebounding which is wonderful, how can he miss so many shots? He really does look to be able to shoot it pretty well and has some post moves so it's hard to imagine what is going wrong here?

 

[champs99and04]

I'm wondering based on these shooting/turnover numbers if Enoch is less polished offensively than we had hoped. It's hard to understand how he would be that bad - you would think he could do better than 2 of 17 on put backs alone.

Of course, that wouldn't be unusual for a kid his age...and I'm more inclined to be bullish on the rebounding numbers considering his physical profile.

 

[UConnStats]

2-17, even Hamilton is shaking his head somewhere.

I couldn't imagine this board if he did that this year.
