Message: [QUOTE="UConnStats, post: 2901268, member: 5842"] I do like Carlton. He shows flashes of being a solid starting center, but when he makes a mistake, he let’s it start a domino effect where he can’t do anything without getting tripped up. He’s not the type who you want to be relying on for 20 MPG as a sophomore. Polley has upside which I think is why people like him. He has a pretty stroke, and he’s fairly quick and athletic (especially compared to most 4s). But his timidness kills production. He almost never attacks the rim when he could be blowing by 4s or finishing over 3s. He’s soft on the boards too. Couldn’t agree more about Whaley. Diarra will be an X factor if he can bring some offense to the table. Yakwe is a big upgrade over Polley on D, but barring a huge change in his play style he will be a negative offensively. We’ll be making a lot of situational substitutes this year trading offense for defense. [/QUOTE]
