UConn in the NBA Nov 2025

[Mets1432]

I realize it’s very early in the season, but is there any cause for concern over Liam McNeeley’s PT?

With LaMelo Ball out, Kon Knueppel (32.4 mpg, 16.6 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 2.8 apg) seems to be taking over the Hornets’ offense. Liam, by contrast, is averaging 12.5 mpg, 4.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 1.2 apg.

I’d like to see more UConn “presence” in the NBA, besides Steph and, hopefully, DC.

Liam was hurt to start the season, I'm sure they were easing him back in and suffered an illness on Friday and didn't play. And his minutes were trending upwards the last few games.

Let's see how his minutes progress throughout the season. If he is still averaging less then 15 minutes per game come January, then there might be some cause for concern. I think he is just a very young player still trying to find his footing. Remember he is only 20.

Here's an even-handed thread on DC from the Trailblazers subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ripcity/s/3LQQ5XYsUZ

Pelicans fire head coach!

I don't even think he NEEDS it to become an All-Star caliber player, but if he could just get his 3-pt shot up around 35%, he would become an absolute MONSTER. But even without a reliable 3-pt shot, he's still showing he can be an All-NBA type player.

His 3s will improve. He will be an all star for a long time.

He's been really great and extremely fortunate to get paired up with Wemby.

Also had Chris Paul as a mentor last year.

He will most likely end up being in the conversation for UConn’s NBA Mt. Rushmore

Castle pulled at the half with a hip injury today. Obviously hope it’s just precautionary and the only long term issue will be that it’ll hurt his per game scoring a bit (4 pts).

Clingan with a decent game going. Has a double double (16 and 10) in the third (6-11 FG, 2-6 3FG). The last 3 he missed was after getting two offensive rebounds and drawing a foul going after a third on that one possession, so he earned a chance to miss.

Tyrese with a great 20pt, 2R, 4a effort in 26min. Nets win their 2nd game of the season in the battle of crappy teams

Was just checking the box score and noticed his minutes, was wondering what happened. Thanks for the info, but sorry for the news.

Looking forward to Memphis vs Spurs tomorrow (Tuesday) on NBC/Peacock at 8. Hopefully, Steph is fine and plays in game.

He’ll be out tomorrow. Hopefully it’s just precautionary.

That’s unfortunate. I heard on PTI that Wemby could be out for a few weeks.

Annoyingly Liam is out sick and I was at Raptors/Hornets tonight. Was hoping to see him in person, but alas bad timing.

Great game though, overall. Knueppel is a baller, he is like a coach's son.
