Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5347498, member: 21"] I haven't read through the entire thread but was wondering when Joey Buckets aka Joey California was going to come up. I have a little bit of a hard time including players who eventually ended up starters in this conversation, but Joey, granted only a one-year eligible transfer, was one of my favorite off the Bench contributors. The player that was the first "make something happen" off the Bench player was John Gwynn aka The Microwave. Keep in mind that I started following the Huskies for the first time in the late 80s, so there might be some old old timers that preceded him as an instant offense sub. For those who remember him, once the ball touched his hands the ball was either instantly heading towards the rim , or he was dribbling to a spot where the ball would be shortly heading towards the rim. His assist average was probably one of the worst in UConn history. [/QUOTE]
