UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley provided a preview of what he feels could be UConn's best-case scenario starting five.
UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley hinted at his ideal starting lineup during the postgame presser for UConn’s opening night victory over Sacred Heart on Wednesday.Hurley has repeatedly used a “rocket ship” metaphor to describe Ross and fellow sophs Solo Ball and Jaylin Stewart, each of whom Hurley envisions taking a leap this season.“You know, I think when we get Jayden Ross out there, I'm pretty excited about Solo and Karaban and Liam and J.
“I mean, this guy has looked like our best player at times or one of our -- he just changes things for us. Just a 6'7" athlete that's making threes and on the glass and just getting to the rim.” “So where do we go when J. Ross is back, and then who is better starting the game for us, Aidan and Hassan ? You know, Aidan started .”
On the other hand, leaving both out of the starting lineup also leaves said lineup without a true point guard. Ball would presumably take over duties of initiating the offense, but he’s better served on the wing.
