The guy has shut down the leading scorer for each of our previous games.  He isn't built to play PF against any physical team.  His rebounding is better and his shot is at least inconsistent right now rather than consistently bad.  He is making more plays than he was.

Sid has to be a 3.  Once Akok is available (and maybe Diarra), Sid should never see another minute at the 4. He's even more physically overmatched at the PF spot than Polley.  He needs to dribble and shoot better, but he's a pure 3. I think he will become a good one.

Guys like Tyler Polley used to come to UConn, ride the bench for two years and then start to meaningfully contribute by their junior and senior seasons.  Same with Brendan Adams.  That's my expectation for him as well.  Instead, with Diarra's injuries and the lack of depth, Polley is thrust into a starting role he's not ready for at this level of basketball.  It's sad that so many here are bad-mouthing him. He is playing hard and improving.  Let's see how you'd do in his shoes.
