Andre is "The Answer"
Are you trying to leave us all wanting a little more? I'll provide it.
The coach may raise a few eyebrows with this assessment of freshman Andre Jackson: “He’s the best athlete I’ve ever seen in person,” Hurley said. “Somebody’s going to put that on Twitter and [James] Bouknight mentioned that to me, but Andre’s the freak of all freaks and I think he’ll eventually be drafted as a point guard.”
Dan Hurley exhorts UConn men to ‘finish, finish, finish’ what they’ve started in season finale vs. Georgetown
It is easy to believe the UConn men put themselves over the top with their win at Seton Hall on Wednesday. But there is one more game to play in the regular season, and coach Dan Hurley has been wa…www.courant.com
I didn't realize AJ was from NJ.............Waiting for Nelson to declare AJ isn't a Big East caliber athlete.
I guess you’re new to Uconn basketball and never saw Stanley Robinson aka Sticks play.I've been saying this since day 1. He's the best run jump athlete we've ever had and he's a point guard.

Just in case your "top 5 pick" was directed at my comment let me be clear hes a long way from the player i described and he may never get there but i never said next year.I guess you’re new to Uconn basketball and never saw Stanley Robinson aka Sticks play.
look him up. He was pretty good.
I’m not hating on Jackson but let’s get serious. He’s averaging 3 points and 1 assist per game.
but all of a sudden he’s the best Uconn athlete ever and a future top 5 pick next year.
i like his hustle but he’s loose with the ball and he can’t shoot.
IMO. Once DH green lights Andre with the ball in his hands ,which will be next year, he will display Bouk-like finishing skills in breaking down the defender when going to the hoop. He was a ball dominant scorer in HS and is comfortable with the ball in his hands and I can see him being utilized more in that way once Bouk has moved on.Said Andre will be a triple double machine. And then was trying to verbalize the ways he can do it. Mentioned assists and rebounding first, then he brought up scoring. Then mentioned steals and D.
Jackson is the anti-Polley. And I don't say that disparagingly towards Polley. Polley is a one trick pony with his 3 point shot. But if he isn't scoring from deep, he doesn't impact the game. Jackson's offense right now is almost a by product of just having minutes played. He has to score somehow eventually. But even when he isn't scoring he impacts everything. Hurley mentioned how UConn's defensive numbers have impoved significantly since AJ's return.
Next year AJ can easily be a 12 point, 8 rebound, 6 assist player with a couple of steals and blocks every game. I know his 3 point shot needs massive improvement but his FT shooting form and numbers look solid now. Just be aggressive and take everything as close to the rim as possible.

His vision and passing is something we haven’t had since, idk Marcus Williams?? I can see him as a point guard or a point forwardAre you trying to leave us all wanting a little more? I'll provide it.

What are you talking about? He whips those passesIono bout best athlete but he’s the best nonchalant passer I’ve ever seen.
he needs to put more zip on his passes and maybe try using both hands.

Remember Ason Kidd?With his athleticism and size if he ever develops a consistent jumpshot and starts beating guys off the dribble with all his other skills he could play himself into the #1 pick in the draft ISYN!
Burt how many of his passes get intercepted or deflected? Very few if any. His passes are always catchable passes, not landing at someones feet.Iono bout best athlete but he’s the best nonchalant passer I’ve ever seen.
