Message: [QUOTE="tcf15, post: 4408319, member: 208"] No UConn players listed in the guard rankings, but one each in the wings and bigs list. [URL='https://theathletic.com/3688646/2022/10/20/jaime-jaquez-cam-whitmore-cbb-best-wings/?source=user_shared_article'][B][U]Top 20 Wings[/U][/B][/URL] [B]19. Jordan Hawkins | 6-5 floor spacer | Connecticut[/B] It’s maybe aggressive to put him here as opposed to in the section detailing breakout players, but I’d bet Hawkins ends up putting up the kind of numbers that warrants All-Big East selection this year. He’s one of the best movement shooters in the country, a terrific athlete who Connecticut will run off of all sorts of screening actions to try and get free. Expect him to get in the vein of seven-plus 3-point attempts per game this season while shooting over 37 percent on them. He’s that level shooter. The big questions are around everything else. Can he put the ball on the deck enough to make defenders stay honest? Can he make passing reads? He’ll average 15 points per game this year on high level shooting. But the key will be rounding out the rest of his game.

Adama Sanogo | 6-9 post | Connecticut[/B] One of the best pure posts in the country, Connecticut might even have a better roster that makes more sense around him this year. With dynamic defender Isaiah Whaley and reluctant shooter Tyrese Martin gone, the [URL='https://theathletic.com/college-basketball/team/connecticut-huskies-college-basketball/']Huskies[/URL] will surround Sanogo with even more shooting and floor-spacing than he had last season with smooth-shooting four Alex Karaban and movement floor-spacer Jordan Hawkins. Throw in Andre Jackson (a reluctant but decent shooter), Naheim Alleyne, Joey Calcaterra, and dynamic transition threat Tristan Newton, and teams are going to have a tougher time doubling Sanogo, which should allow him to add to his 15 points per game.
