Your favorite AK moment

[kansashusky]

oof.

 

[Fishy]

Alex turns it around today!

He did not.

 

[uconntoatl]

Yikes

 

[TouchdownHusky]

The moment they sit him for the rest of today's game. Can't play at this level - sit. Don't want to hustle more on rebounds - sit. Can't inbound ball - sit. Can't catch ball cleanly - sit. Hate that it's come to this. He was a good #5 option the last two years. As a #1, 2 or 3 . . . nothing

AK's offensive rebound and assist which started the 30-0 run against Illinois...

AK's three pointer to give Newton his triple-double...

 

[patrick]

Yeah the last 15 points
Cmon AK we need you

Yeah, last year opponents had 4 other players on the floor they had to account for. Karaban was #5 in the UConn rotation.

It's pretty clear AK is a limited role player who is trying to do too much this year cause we don't have the same talent. Biggest disappointment of the year for me is his play but he is who he is.

Definitely not the momentum-killing bricked 3 when we had finally cut it to single-digits.

 

[Scoe]

I don’t even mind that miracle 3 because it would’ve been miracle to come back so it only made sense, Solo and Liam played worse then AK no one played except except maybe Reed and he had his bad sequences.

That shot was ridiculous. It was nice to see him finally make some threes but he played terribly.

Maybe don’t be down nearly 20 in the first place, so at that point it was like throwing a Hail Mary.

Actually it was the turnover down 9 all the momentum. Gets a pass down low would have had a layup instead fumbles it out bounds

 

[HooperScooper]

What was with all the fumbles today? He must have done it 10 times. In the first half he fumbled the ball almost every time he touched it. I wonder if there is something physically wrong with him. What was the tape on his shoulder for? Is there an injury there we don't know about?

 

[Palatine]

His hands looked horrible today.

Turning point of the game unfortunately.

I'm just posting this because I don't think this question has been asked -
But does anyone think there's a chance that AK has hurt his draft stock so much throughout this season that he comes back next year?
I don't mean to rip on the kid because he was a big contributor the last two years and has done enough to go down as a legend no matter what happens, but I just think he's not the player anyone thought he was.

I've seen almost every mock draft still having him as a 2nd round pick somewhere - a few even in the first (which would be insane) - so I'm expecting him to leave but I just don't see what an NBA team would be impressed with enough to the point that he'd get picked. I can't imagine he'd ever crack an NBA lineup; even a spot in the rotation seems so

When we have Diarra, Solo, Liam, Reed & him on the court - he's honestly probably the 5th option to score. So how does that translate to potential pro status?
He can't cover anyone quicker than him (which would be everyone in the pros) and is too small to be any sort of stretch 4 [and that's aside from him not really knowing how to shoot any more].

From an NBA scout perspective I really don't think I would see a difference between him and Stewie. AK has a better IQ, a better passer, and can be a better shooter at times - but Stewie easily has a higher upside. And i only say that because in no world should Stewie be a draft pick... which makes me wonder if/why AK would be one.

Well they were down 20 in part because he was once again a no show in a big game. He didn't start playing well until the game was out of hand.

Ya the turnovers are a much bigger deal, while he had the biggest blunders, McNeeley played worse overall.

I just expect and expected more out of a 4th year junior who played the type of minutes he did his first 2 years. I guess I should have used his tournament play and bad stretches last season as a sign of things to come and not had high hopes.

 

[king conn]

This is a guy that played like a Jr. when he was a freshman

Now he's a Jr playing like a freshman. What an enigma.

 

[LBird33]

I feel bad for AK.

 

[Hankster]

Hopefully still to come. Waiting for the shot to come back when we need it most

I believe also, but I am afraid it is moot.

40 foot jumper today when we tons of momentum with 25 seconds in the shot clock
