Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 4031345, member: 4623"] Regarding Whaley, Martin and Polley, I respect the argument that all three will be seeing major minutes this year. But while I respect the argument, I'm unhappy with it. It is a limiting extrapolation that puts a ceiling on this year's chances. Our hope for this year can be far beyond that. The hope centers on point production coming from the 2 and the 4, namely from Hawkins and Akok. This is not a pipe dream. Hawkins is a scorer, and Akok came to UConn as an acknowledged 3-point threat. We can get scoring from these two, and if we can, it permits the glorious luxury of playing Jackson at the 3. Then, with Cole (or Diggins) and Sanogo, we have a starting line-up to kill for -- crazy athleticism at the wings, a strong interior presence, outside scoring threats. UConn, this year, is a team with exciting possibilities. Let us not limit ourselves to the idea of some marginal improvement. [/QUOTE]
