Worst finisher in Uconn history

[RuffRuff]

My vote goes to Ryan Boatright. I cannot recall a player in the last twenty years that goes to the hoop more often where the results are a missed wild chippy or getting stuffed. You can probably put a lowlight reel of errant drives to the hoop resulting in nothing but bad that will go on for hours. Dish the rock Ryan.

Boat's played really well tonight. He does have problems finishing when he gets inside, but if he plays like this the rest of the year I won't complain.

 

[jibsey]

He does kick now and then but if he don't change he'll be backing up Samuel.

I thought maybe we'd get through one game without this exact thread popping up because, quite frankly, I think he's done a fine job tonight getting to the rim and drawing fouls.

Guess not.

Watch Giffey's wide open 3 looks and see who is getting him the ball....

 

[boog204]

It's a blessing and a curse. He's quick and athletic enough where he can get to the rim almost at will. But he's not big enough to finish with any consistency. To be fair, he has kicked out today better than I can ever remember.

 

[superjohn]

This is your take away from the game. We are dismantling Memphis, great ball movement, knocking down shots, competing and having fun, This is seriously the thread you decide to post?!??

Your a dumba**

 

[Dove]

I'm not his biggest fan but he has played well tonight

 

[tykurez]

Blah blah blah but he missed that wide open layup.


Fine.

for brains, who is leading the team in assists tonight?

 

[dsturdy5]

In your scientific study, how many players under 6 ft got to the rim as regularly as he does? He absorbs a ton of contact and I wouldn't be shocked if his body has worn down a bit from all of it this year.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

He always avoids contact so much that he gives himself awful angles or really tough shots. The refs allow guys to just jump straight into a still defender and will almost always call it on the defender. I don't know why boat never does. He goes so far out of his way to avoid contact that he leaves himself only acrobatic prayer shots.

Although he has missed a few open layups tonight.

He has done a nice job kicking it out tonight tho

 

[StoweD210]

Eric Hayward?

Antric Klaiber?

 

[Waquoit]

Dish the rock Ryan.

Speaking of rock, you crawled out from under yours just to make this post? With the team up by 14 at the half?

 

[babysheep]

6 assists, 2 turnovers

You must have a miserable life.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[breezy]

You picked the wrong game to criticize boat

 

[jibsey]

He's fine tonight but I think the post is about changing or improving that one aspect of his game so that he can run the team better next year. Don't want to stop his agressiveness but he has some room to make smarter choices and some of it is because the kid has no fear and thinks he can do anything. KO pulled him early for Samuel and we went on a run.

 

[Uconnrick]

Kiss my avatar. Kid plays great D tonite, controls the game and leads us in assists and he gets hammered? Once again, read the first sentence.

And your point is ...

stop the insanity

Boat has big time hops but at his height it takes him a while to get up there and gets swallowed up at the rim more often for my liking. He needs to learn to use his body better but at his size it's simply problematic. He definitely needs another year to learn how to finish more consistently. Bazz doesn't have nearly the hops and seems to finish around the rim at a much higher clip. Hopefully Boat will learn.
