What's up w/ AO??

I also agree with the guys above who say Roscoe needs to play some 3. DD shouldn't be playing 35 minutes a game. The argument against Roscoe playing the 3 is that he has a weak handle and is not great driving. DD has a more refined offensive game but hasn't been handling the ball either and has mostly turned into a spot shooter. Sure, he is better at Roscoe than shooting but its not like the offensive cohesion will be different with Roscoe than DD. Roscoe also was guarding their best player, Dickey a lot yesterday and can easily defend 3's and even 2's. I just want to see the minutes more even distributed because AO needs to play more and play well if this team is going to go far.

I disagree, a 3 doesn't necessasarily have to be a scorer - if I recall Bruce Bowen was a 6'7" forward that made a very productive NBA carreer being just a defensive specialist. Once our bigs get going, we should almost always have 3 legit scorers on the court at all times which is plenty - what we need is defense. Lets be honest, Daniels is just not a good defender. When we get into league play you will see he doens't have the foot speed to keep up with good small forwards. Also, I've watched every UConn game so far and I don't recall once where Daniels has created his own shot. Almost all of his points have been open 3's and he's scored on a couple dunks (that he didn't creat for himself) - look at his stats, he's only shot 6 times inside the arc. If he was able to create his own shot I think he would have shot more then 6 times inside the arc (hes shot more then 2x more 3's then 2's -14 3pt attemps vs 6 2pt attempts).

The Spurs NBA offense isnt the same as ours. Our program has been built on scoring wings.
