Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3390959, member: 1559"] My read on Carlton on offense is that opposing teams know that when he gets the ball down low, he is going to try to score, so the defense collapses on him and he has to take a difficult shot. He rarely looks to pass it back out. He is averaging 8.5 shots per game this year vs 5.5 shots per game in 1 minute more playing time this year. The UConn offense is trying to go to Carlton, but the opposition knows that and defends Carlton. I think he misses Jalen Adams' drives to the hoop. On defense, I really don't understand why Hurley is asking Carlton to chase out to the 3 point line and leave the paint wide open. He is not quick enough to recover. Unfortunately, Hurley doesn't have many big choices this year. Hopefully, he can adjust what UConn is doing with Carlton on offense and defense. [/QUOTE]
