UConn players are putting winning over statistics and hoping the NBA will notice
Associated PressTop-ranked UConn doesn’t have a superstar on its roster, but is instead being carried by a group of NBA hopefuls who are banking on the idea that winning will do more for their draft prospects than putting up big individual numbers. “We’re not worried about who’s the best player on the floor, who are we trying to get the ball to, to go and score,” Clingan said. “We’re all about ‘we’ and winning the next game and guys, you know, fulfilling their obligation to the team in terms of the role we need them to play,” Hurley said. And, and with those things, the NBA, you know, will come and get you when it’s time.” Castle’s father said that’s part of what attracted his son to Hurley’s program. He didn’t “put on a show” about how special Stephon was, and has coached him hard both on and off the court, said Stacey Castle, who played college ball at Wake Forest and Central Florida.
