I was going to post this but you beat me to it. I cannot like enough about the ending paragraphs about our head coach Danny! This is why we don’t go for the all the glitters, and we pick the guys that fits our system and willing to play in our system.

That's a very nice article. Lots of analysis on Cam. Also interesting how the stats completely back up what is obvious to see visually. He's an extremely well-rounded player who excels in both ball-handling and shooting roles
 
Great article. Cam’s versatility and IQ as well as the others made running that complex UConn offense click. I’ve never seen any other team get great looks almost every possession.

You need all the players with the ability to process in that offense. One player not moving to the right spot or passing to the right man and it breaks down a lot. So it is rare to have all the players who can work that system together and make it hum so well. That was a major difference between ‘04 and ‘05 in my opinion. In ‘05 it was not uncommon for the offense to not being set up early in the shot clock and then the sets weren’t run smoothly and they ended up with a rushed and contested shots too often. Hence Hurley moving to ‘we need to have individuals just create and make plays on their own more’.
 
Tremendous over-simplification of the contrast between UConn's offensive system and Kansas as described by Bill Self in his post-game presser. "Our guys were not moving the ball-The ball was "sticky". Our guys are facilitating-connecting-moving the ball with BBIQ. and nuanced sets. Tough for D to sustain ball pressure for 40 minutes. Cam was an invaluable piece for the '24 team.

Starting to look like we're going to return to having a regular presence in KenPom's Top 10 offensive/defensive efficiency ratings. A formula for success.

I would make every player watch these videos of Cam. They are a masterclass of getting a defender on your hip and keeping him there. He's able to get a closer shot, but not always going directly to the front of the rim. He's getting to a spot for 'his' shot and keeping the defender in a spot where it will be tough for them to truly challenge the shot. Really impressive with how a guy who doesn't have elite speed gets an advantage and keeps it until he's ready to shoot.
 
another clean and efficient night from Cam, 17pts, 7assts(only 2 TOs), and 5 rebs, and he closed the game. On a related Grizzlies/CBB note, we should all be thankful that Cedric Coward did not spend this season at Duke and opted to stay in the draft, dude is very legit and the workout hype was warranted

The grizzlies are a really fun bad team and could easily be a very good team a couple years from now with a Ja Morant for assets trade and a couple more hits in the draft. Coward, Spencer, and Edey is a lot of fun.

Wish we had a general NBA thread here. It's crazy how Austin Reaves gets better every year and now he's a star.

Another guy who isn't an explosive run and jump athlete carving up the entire league.

Maybe not explosive but he has always been a good athlete. Watch some of his highlights when at OU.

Does any team want Morant? He's talented but he's an idiot.

I honestly think they're comfortably in the playoffs with a full, healthy roster, they're just never healthy.

Minnesota comes to mind.

They should look into trading him and JJJ for assets. The only problem is that they're too good to tank even without them and don't have a clear cut #1 on a championship team, unless Coward turns into that. Wells is a fun player, too, and they're doing a better job of attracting mid tier free agents than they used to (Jerome). I'll be going to their home game against the blazers and cheering Spencer and Clingan on.

stat is a week old but Cam was still drilling jumpers off the dribble in the few games he's played since then so he should still be up there

That's mind blowing, ahead of some legends there.
 
Cam helped cash a nice snipe here 😎

Can't believe the books are still giving out odds like this for him to get 15 points.

Thread 'Former Huskies (transfers) - December'

Maybe I'm a sadist or whatever, but I'm always curious how our transfers and near recruits are doing. So I thought, maybe just for myself, I'd put them all in one place. I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

Transfers

Ahmad Nowell

Through 4 games, he's getting 13/mpg and averaging 5.5. Shooting it very poorly.

Aidan Mahaney

Averaging 15 and 4 in 33mpg through four games. Shooting it extremely well.

Isaiah Abraham

Averaging 4 and 3 in 16mpg as a starter for GTown. Thought he'd have more of an impact tbh.

Yousouff Singare

Averaging 3 and 2 in 10mpg.

Apostolos...

Geeking and tweaking again
 
No idea why the general nba thread got locked, I’m more confused than ever by what things get locked/suspended (hopefully saying I’m confused doesn’t get me suspended) but this is a very cool story with both Spencer boys doing their thing:

Kerr lauds 'competitor' Spencer after career night

Playing on the road without their headliners, the Warriors upset the Cavaliers 99-94 on Saturday night behind a career performance from two-way point guard Pat Spencer.

Spencer a casual +33 for Memphis tonight in their win over Portland. He hit some threes and had 4 steals.
