The Best PG in UCONN History

Kemba is still my all-time favorite. But Tristen, starter on two championship teams, and all the accolades, is indisputable.

Love them all, but can I raise you one El Amin?

When you look at all those names and paired with their accomplishments, you can honestly now call Uconn a point guard University over Wing U.

Someone mentioned Ben, and he was mostly definitely a 2 guard, but if you watched that season you know when things got hairy, JC always put Ben on the ball.

So was every other starter. Sorry but most of the others are superior

Wow, you are doubling down on this dumb take, SMH. Even Newton's teammates have said in interviews that he is the guy that runs the show. Over the last 2 years, are there superior players or more impactful? Sure, but to say most of the others are superior? That's flat our hyperbole. You are shooting blanks here.

I originally said starters so when I said players I assumed you knew I just meant the starters between the team last year and this year.

Not to mention, as much as we may wish to put the 2006 tournament out of our minds, Marcus Williams was a magician with the ball. And somebody mentioned during the season that this team often ran with 3 PGs at one time, with Diarra, Castle, and Newton on the floor.

Nothing says recency bias like putting Newton and Kemba on the same level.

I remember thinking the same thing when folks were putting Kemba over Khalid El-Amin. Still, to paraphase many folks on the Boneyard: 2>1.
