UConn game thread 2/19

His athleticism can’t be any worse than Freemantle and his inability to play defense. Steele is over his head.

IF that is the case, and it is just your opinion, the coaches disagree and so do some that have been at practices. I think Ben should be given some minutes but your obsession with Zach is unreasonable, at best.

Not obsessed at all he can't guard a statue, he is immature, takes terrible shots, and has a hard time focusing on the game (that is according to Travis). This is from a preseason 1st team all BE. I think I am justified in my concerns. I miss power forward U. We are all frustrated.

Looks locked in tonight 10 points 2 steals no TOs in the first half, wouldn't you agree

Zach has an incredibly low basketball IQ. His defense is terrible, and his offense is generally only good when playing against unathletic players.

He does have good games from time to time. Almost everyone has their moments. Zach is a primary reason X is struggling. He needs to sit more. I don't know who the answer is necessarily because there are guys that haven't seen the floor enough to evaluate. X could go big or small. I like to base playing time on matchups. Zach will get his minutes against certain teams and very few against others.

Hunter should be an option but he is essentially a disaster at this time. I have no idea if he can become the asset he should be or if the coaching staff has ruined him. Myles is a possible matchup against some teams and there are 2 other bigs that have shown the ability to score in very limited minutes. If Free is the answer then the team is not good. I could not win with him as a teammate. If you can't defend, you are no use to me.
