Message: [QUOTE="Kemba Time, post: 4812211, member: 2962"] Imagine you are the assistant coach for one of our upcoming opponents who just drew the scout for UConn. You’ve got one of those big comfy couches in your office, you scroll through Door Dash because you know this is gonna be a long one and you start to go through how to game plan for UConn. You can’t give ‘em Newton. He’s an All-American and just might be the best non-big in the country right now. You can’t give ‘em Spencer. He just might be the best shooter in the conference and has never lost a driveway game in his life. You can’t give ‘em Castle. He’s gonna be shaking hands with Adam Silver in a few months. You can’t give ‘em Karaban. He’s got the basketball IQ of Albert Einstein and he’ll beat you from 25 feet or back door you into the ground. You can’t give ‘em Clingan. He’s going to have Adam Silver reaching up to shake his hand in a few months. You can’t give ‘em Samson. There was a time you thought you could, but by now you know he’ll dunk on your whole roster from the second he steps on the floor. But there’s that freshman getting a lot of early minutes. The one who looks a little rushed, a little hesitant, like maybe the game is a little fast for him right now. You think maybe we’ll give ‘em him when he’s on the court, maybe that’s our chance. Then you pop in the North Carolina game and there’s Solomon Ball, attacking the rim, raining down 3 after 3 and playing with the confidence of your 5th-year guys — at The Garden against a top-10 team in one of the most anticipated non-conference games of the season, in his 9th college game. What do you do? What do you possibly tell your head coach? Do you even bother showing up? [/QUOTE]
