Taliek Brown Influence

Eh... We'll agree to disagree on that one. Marcus was significantly more talented than Taliek and was the victim of being on a very soft team that just could not figure it out. Marcus was the one guy during our post-season struggles in 2006 who showed up all four games.

13 and 11 vs George Mason
26 and 8 vs Washington
20 and 8 vs. Kentucky
21 and 8 vs. Albany

I don't think Taliek makes that 2006 team any better, personally. You put Marcus on the 04 team and I think we would be even better.

The 2006 team had 99 problems, but Marcus Williams ain't one. Without him, we lose to Albany.

He was a much better passer than Taliek. And a better scorer. (Not as good a defender.) He was a 1st Round NBA pick for a reason.

UConn's been fortunate to have some great passing PGs. Agree MW was excellent, averaging 7 assists per game. Doron Sheffer was a great passer too (6 apg).

For his career, yeah. But he averaged 7.8 apg as a SO and 8.6 as a JR.
