Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2798502, member: 5798"] I can't and won't disagree with any comments suggesting we hold off on any anointments or things of that nature. Neither one had glaring numbers, but I think they did OK. I'm taking into account the coaching and discipline level their teammates and the frequency of the player rotation. . As I recall, they both looked pretty good in the McDonald's All-star game just a few months ago. We'll see how good Argentina is and how they fare against other teams. Their skills could not have eroded that much that fast. I would suggest that we not make any decisions on either of our freshmen after just one game. They will play 5 more games over the next 6 days. Let's look at their total body of work first. After the championship game next Tuesday (and watching them play 6 games), then we can make a more intelligent and informed conclusion as to their potential for the upcoming season. Tonight's game might be their worst of the tournament. I'll be looking forward to reading everyone's overall/final observations come Tuesday evening. Also keep in mind that it's very hard to gain any rhythm when you're being rotated in and out every 4-6 minutes, i.e., 5 in 5 out, and remember that the players they will be playing with at UConn are older, more polished and disciplined. Not to mention the more structured approach and attention to detail Geno demands. That makes a HUGE difference. At this point, I still see the glass as half full, and I'm still drinking the kool-aid. ;) [/QUOTE]
