This is not my idea of a negative question, no insult intended. Exactly what do you consider Basketball I.O.I am sure the coaching staff has met with the players and gone over things to work on for summer workouts. For me, I hope the players are working on their basketball IQ, shooting, footwork, defense, and rebounding. As well as their motivation for the season. Are you trying to be the best that you can be? Are you content with just getting a roster spot? Do you want to take over a roster spot? Only the players know this. If they can look at themselves in the mirror at night and know that they gave 100% that is all that matters. But for me, just working on that basketball IQ, shooting, footwork, defense and rebounding are huge.
Again, just a statement with no hidden negatives: It is my impression, after watching Geno's teams since the early 90's that most come in with a high BB IQ or is drilled into them along the way. So, exactly what are they missing.
Obviously, each of them has something to learn or we'd be caling them Steff, DT, Sue,etc. The ONE thing (maybe 2) I want is a very talented young lady 6 ft 6 " , mobiles, defends superbly, dunks regularly, weighs 210, 220 and cannot be knocked off from where she wants to be. Simple, easy, I don't want much. With that lady on the floor with the team we have--Uconn could become the REAL Worlds Champion--4 or 5 times in a row.
