Message: [QUOTE="80shusky, post: 2576973, member: 5992"] It would be hard to deny that the team would be better off with Gilbert on the floor. If nothing else, his taking minutes from Anderson would be a plus because he is clearly if healthy a more talented player and just having four guards rather than three is a big help. However, the team's big problem and biggest black hole is the front court. UConn has three true freshmen, a redshirt freshman, three transfers and Larrier in the front court unless I'm missing someone. Larrier is a good college player but is trying to do too much. The rest? Carlton I think will be a nice player. Could we please throw him the ball more? He has better offensive post moves than anyone we have had in a while, keeps the ball high in traffic and scores more often than he doesn't. Whaley could be a nice Murray Williams type of player or maybe better with some seasoning. Polley, not sure what to make of him. Diarra again is like Carlton to me. Needs more minutes and the ball more. Kwintin, DO and Cobb are bench players. Larrier is Larrier. He can be a great scorer for us, he is a defensive liability and turns it over too much. But, with a better front court around him playing as a wing he could more effective. We are only in games because of Adams, Vital and Larrier. With Gilbert we would be more competitive. But our problem is the front court. You can blame that on anybody you want, and I'm sure you will, but blaming Adams, Vital and Larrier for the team's issues is silly. The front court is the problem. Brimah masked that with his shot blocking. There is no hiding it now. [/QUOTE]
