He uses his body well, and he does have good length for his size at 6'9", but he is not a physically imposing guy like Terrace Reed.

So the question for UConn is going to be,

Do you put Terrace Reed on Cam Boozer and risk seeing Pat Gongba, you know, potentially take advantage of Caraban and also risk foul trouble on Terrace Reed?

Or do you put Alex Caraban on Cam Boozer, in which case you essentially have to go through and you have some sort of double team?

I also want to mention, you mentioned that Alex Carabana sort of stayed the same over the course of his career.

I think that sort of puts it perfectly, where after his freshman year, actually his redshirt freshman year, he is a classic five-year guy in that he redshirted and then played four years.

It wasn't some weird transfer injury odyssey that we sometimes have seen in the modern college game.

He came back and the thought process was he was such an amazing supplementary third, fourth option on this national championship team.

He will now step up, become option one and really ascend.

And that didn't happen.

He had a good, that is what everybody thought.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And he had a, he had a good, not great year last year.

He's had again, a better, but still not great year this year.

He is a,

really, really good secondary complementary player.

And he will probably have a solid NBA career as a bench stretch four, but he hasn't shown that he is a true option one.

And I would argue that that is the challenge that UConn has faced over these last two years compared to

It's for the back-to-back national titles.
