Jordan did everything his coach, Dean Smith, wanted him to do. Like pass the ball a lot. Move it around! Teamwork! Why drive-and-dunk when you can be a passing sensation? It explains why "Dean Smith" is the punch line to the famous sports joke, "Who was the last person to hold Michael Jordan to under 20 points in a game?"

And while I am clearly guilty of hyperbole, I think that something like this will play out between Dan Hurley and Stephon Castle. Watching Castle seemingly be everywhere on the court at once has an almost surreal quality to it. Hurley has a player that can do whatever he wants whenever he wants. But what he will do this year, is what Dan Hurley wants.

I know two games against low level competition is a meaningless sample size. But my eyes are seeing a player who makes space when there is no space. A player who plays ahead of the game. The only question in his game is what does Danny want? Whatever it is, this promises to be a very warm winter in Storrs, Connecticut.
